Destination elopement photography in Big Sur

Hundreds of miles of coast lines. Epic sunset vistas.
The cool Pacific breeze all year.
Hell yeah, Big Sur is where it's at!

Imagine the perfect and intimate wedding space. What do you see? What do you hear? 

Can you smell the ocean? Do you hear waves crashing in the background?

Do you want a luxury experience without having to dish out luxury prices?

Big Sur is one of my favorite stops on Highway 1 in California for many reasons. Mainly, it's because there's a space for everyone to enjoy without being overly crowded.

Big Sur has mountains, hills, beaches, cliffs, microclimates that cool you, and phenomenal views 24/7, 365.

But wait, hold up.

An elopement is a wedding day, personalized.

It's the wedding day people deserve.

It's a refresh and a refocus back to what is important.

Relax, knowing that you’re going to be able to be
present with your family & friends, while we work
tirelessly to capture images that actually matter to you.
  

what exactly is an elopement?

your love story.

Society, culture, trends, even family and friends can all influence your wedding and the plans you have.

And if you're not getting what you want on your wedding day, who is?

Big Sur is just a few hours drive to Yosemite, Sequoia, Napa Valley, and Malibu. All of these spaces are perfect locations for honeymoon adventures post-nuptials.

I love that Big Sur is also close enough to smaller airports that still cater to larger cities. For instance, you can skip flying into San Francisco (SFO) and get a flight to Monterey instead, saving over 2 hours of driving.

Rather go south afterward? No problem, Los Angeles is 5 hours south and Joshua Tree National Park is 9 away. 

A short drive to adventure

Big Sur is home to Carmel by the Sea. This location is pretty rich in my opinion. But that doesn't mean that only the ultra elite can afford to elope in Big Sur. No, there are far more affordable options just slightly inland from Big Sur.

Consider staying in Monterey, Moss Landing, or Salinas to save a few dollars and to maximize your stay costs.

Wanna splurge? Carmel by the Sea is home to a Michelin star restaurant, Aubergine, which boasts a prix fixe menu delectable food options.

it fits any budget

why you should elope in Big Sur

01.

Big Sur is home to over 80 wedding venues. But if you're eloping and want a big of a less traditional feel, we can choose one of their 10 state parks for your wedding ceremony.

Whether you're thinking you want to exchange vows amongst redwood giants, on the rock coastal cliffs of Carmel highlands, or perhaps you want a black sand beach adventure near Lucia, there is something for everyone in Big Sur.

Something for everyone

02.

A lot of people get concerned when they think of eloping and that it requires you to be in the middle of nowhere. In fact, Big Sur is smack down in between Los Angeles and San Francisco, a perfect compromise.

And while Big Sur only hosts 2000 people living there full time annually, there are still plenty of accessible amenities to tantalize all travelers tastes, preferences, and styles.

It's intimate without being desolate
