Foggy Wedding Morning in Big Sur

Kassie + Thomas // Big Sur California

Thomas + Kassie’s elopement was an intentionally spent day in mid-April. We started the morning exploring the beach and hanging out by their tent eating pastries from Big Sur Bakery. Their tent was a canvas room strung up between trees and set deep into a redwood forest that’s part of Ventana Big Sur’s resort. Ethereal clouds hung overhead and filtered soft light to the forest floor below. Their time spent getting ready felt like something out of an enchanted storybook. Big Sur evokes that, especially on foggy days like this one.

Dead Horse Point State Park Elopement

There’s nothing that says Wild West quite like an area called “Dead Horse Point”. Andrew + Tenille planned for their ceremony there, on a band of sheer cliffs set hundreds of feet above the Colorado River overlooking the snaking canyons below. Smoke leftover from a faraway wildfire left the skies hazy and warm. We hiked a short distance with their families to a little nook in the cliffside for their ceremony. Surrounded on one side by sandstone steps and boulders, and on the other by a vast network of canyons below, Andrew + Tenille said their vows.

Daniel + Miriam // Joshua Tree

We walked out amongst the Joshua Trees, and they said their vows in the shade of peculiar formations of boulders in mid-afternoon. We spent the rest of the evening drinking cheap beer together, hiking up to some of the tallest views in the park, getting whipped by the desert winds and marveling at Southern California’s notoriously golden light at sunset.

Spontaneous Elopement in Joshua Tree California

Majo + Chris had an adventurous elopement in the California desert at Joshua Tree National Park at sunset. She had a handmade dress that flowed beautifully in the wind, and they said private vows surrounded by boulders, Joshua trees, and cactus.

Kelly + Jacy // Big Sur California

We hiked a mile or so into the forest to a perfectly framed opening in the trail with giant redwood trees all around. Kelly + Jacy shared vows, each so intimately written and intentionally spoken that we were all in tears by the end. It’s difficult to not get emotional in a landscape like that one, with giant redwoods towering far above your head and the sweet smell of eucalyptus in the air.
