Pfeiffer Beach Elopement
Jenna and John 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 chose to get ready together which I think is such a sweet moment, John struggled with the buttons and Jenna couldn’t stop laughing. Most of their wedding day was full of laughter. They stayed at a guest cottage in a house in Carmel and followed me to the cliffs and Pfeiffer beach afterward. I absolutely loved their ceremony on the cliffs as the fog rolled in and the pelicans showed up as guests. Jenna was a little fearful of heights so this was the perfect combination of cliffs and beach for couples a little more timid on heights and hiking ( minimal required). Their sweet cake cutting on the beach was so beautiful and simple and I loved that they chose carrot cake! They followed up their cake cutting with a first dance on a Pfeiffer beach overlook and it was a perfect combination of private moments and beautiful memories.
K + K came to Carmel from the UK to elope and chose me as their photographer! I felt so honored to show them around and do all the California things, from driving a vintage Mustang to going to In-N-Out and saying their vows on the cliffs. I loved where they stayed in Carmel, California, the Le Petit Pali Hotel was full of charm and unique design. Thank you both so much for including me in your day.
