Deetjens Big Sur Elopement Photography

Elopement
Written By Flora Gibson

Lindsey and Phillip eloped this week at Deetjens Big Sur for their California elopement. Lindsey and Phillip are high school sweethearts who have been together for years and wanted to explore Big Sur for the first time together on their road trip from Washington. I suggested Deetjens for its proximity to beautiful redwoods with amazing light and overall charm. It’s my absolute favorite venue in Big Sur with such a rich history. We started off their wedding day with a quick cuddle in the cabin before having a first look in the redwoods.

We quickly went to a secondary redwood location that had the most amazing light for their ceremony across a little river in a beautiful field of clovers followed by a drive to Garrapata beach for their first dance and picnic on the beach. I loved that they picked up some treats at a downtown Carmel Bakery and packed a bottle of champagne for a sweet moment to relax and enjoy. We got so lucky with the light, having sun in the redwoods and clouds by the beach making the hidden cave that much more beautiful.

Natasha Hall and Leo Howard were married in Big Sur this week. They had a private vow exchange by the river under the redwood trees in the forest of Big Sur, followed by an adventure on the coast, which we drove up the Ridgeline I saw the moon peek out above the Bixby with the golden field in the foreground. Then we greeted all their family and friends at the Airbnb. It was such an honor to document their love.

J and J eloped this week at Pfeiffer Beach Big Sur. Coming all the way from Kansas City to Carmel for the first time, I was so excited to show them the coast. They stayed at a guest cottage in a house in Carmel and followed me to the cliffs and Pfeiffer beach. Most of their wedding day was full of laughter. I absolutely loved their ceremony on the cliffs as the fog rolled in
