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.
Deetjens Big Sur is one of my favorite hotels for clients to stay at during their California elopement. It is one of the oldest hotels in Big Sur, with its charm and unique vibes. S + M got ready at the beautiful antique cabin in the woods and their ceremony under the redwoods, followed by a first dance and picnic at the beach. What a beautiful day!
Claudia and Avery Eloped this week in Carmel, California, with both their best friends, all the love in the world for each other, and nothing but laughter. We adventured to the cliffs where their friends led them through heartfelt vows; they celebrated with a champagne spray and shots. We explored Garrapata Beach for couples portraits and their first dance on the beach. They had the most beautiful, heartfelt day, and I felt so lucky to be a part of it.
Nicole and Samuel eloping on the picturesque Oregon Coast was magical. The day began with their emotional first look and concluded with a heartwarming ceremony at Secret Beach. With the luxury of a whole four hours, they were able to soak in every moment of their special day. The couple's easygoing demeanor and deep connection created an atmosphere of unforgettable moments and intimate photography.
