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

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.

M & J eloped in an intimate ceremony in Pebble Beach, California on a rainy afternoon last week. The private beach where the ceremony was held was one she had been tide-pooling since she was a child so it was extra special. After the ceremony they popped champagne and danced in the rain, as they finished their first dance the sun peeked out from behind the clouds and a rainbow appeared, It was beautiful!

Kirby and RJ eloped with their close friend and family present on the cliffs in Santa Cruz, California, their day was full of love, adventure, and fun! It was an honor to be a part of it. Thank you, Kirby and RJ for treating me like a friend and trusting me to capture your memories.

Carina and RJ came to Big Sur and stayed at Ventana for their adventure elopement. Their first look was under the tall redwoods and the ceremony was on the edge of the cliffs on the Big Sur coastline where they both had the sweetest words while reading their vows with the Pacific Ocean waves crashing behind them!
