Glen Oaks Wedding Photographer

Elopement

Apr 11

Written By Flora Gibson

Lorraine and Patrick eloped under the Big Sur redwoods this week at Glen Oaks in Big Sur. One of my favorite forest wedding venues in Big Sur California. Lorraine and Patrick came all the way from Ireland to promise their futures to each other with a traditional Irish handfasting ceremony. The forest surrounding Glen Oaks is one of my favorites and often where recommend to clients who want to prioritize the redwoods. Their three-hour elopement day included a first look, forest ceremony, and cliffside first dance. I had such a fun time showing them my favorite spots along the California coast.
