L & P eloped this week at Deetjens Big Sur for their California elopement; they 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 overall charm. We started their wedding day with a quick cuddle in the cabin before having a first look in the redwoods; then, it was off to the cliffs and beach for a champagne toast at sunset.

Embrace the natural beauty of Big Sur with Loma Vista Gardens, where every photo tells a story of romance and elegance. Capture your special day against one of the most picturesque backdrops in California.

K & E eloped in the redwoods at the Sequoia Retreat Center in Santa Cruz California. There is a private redwood grove, with close access to the wildflowers and bluffs off the coast. K & E said their vows under the redwoods and had a first look outside of their suite. They had the sweetest cake from Gayle’s Bakery which they enjoyed on the bluffs, And they finished their beautiful elopement day with a first dance as the sun tucked below the horizon.

Camila and Greg Eloped this week at Garrapata Beach. When Hwy 1 had a rock slide a week ago we had to quickly pivot away from their original plan of getting married in the redwoods. They found an incredible Airbnb at Ribera Beach where they had their first look and ceremony. From there we adventured down the coast with an impromptu cheesecake on the hood of their rented vintage Thunderbird. They were both so full of joy and love it was infectious.

Rachel and Jonnie had the most beautiful elopement day at the Sequoia Retreat in Santa Cruz California. They originally planned their day in Big Sur but two days before their planned elopement the road slide happened and we had to re-plan to make their redwood dreams a reality. With the help of the Sequoia Retreat Center letting us use their beautiful property and the adventure to the coast in a rented vintage Mustang from Monterey Touring Vehicles and the most amazing picnic by the incredible Michelle with Forage Vintage rentals, their day came together beautifully.

Chris and Brice's Elopement at the beautiful Post Ranch in Big Sur was a magical day filled with love and stunning views. From the intimate ceremony among the Post Ranch redwoods to their beachside cake cutting at sunset, every moment was beautiful and felt so honest and fun.
