weddings
These two came to celebrate their anniversary elopement style in Vegas all the way from the Netherlands and they DID IT UP! Seriously what better way than to bring your besties, rent a couple classic cars and renew your vows at my personal favorite chapel Sure Thing.
We love weddings… all weddings. But there’s just something so damn good about photographing elopements. The intimacy, the vulnerability, the way two people are willing to open up and just fall into each other when there’s not a hundred pairs of eyes on them. We just love it!
When Brittany’s email came through and I saw the words Sunset Cliffs… I may have squealed a bit. We are definitely fans of the coast, the cliffs and of the clouds that normally come with San Diego. And although it was super short lived, none of the above disappointed.
These two got ready together in a cute, tiny hotel room before we literally rushed our asses down to Sunset Cliffs. The light was insanely gorgeous while they said I Do and spent a little time loving on each other while the sun set.
Although we normally love spending a good chunk of time with our couples… take a peek below and you’ll see that short and sweet works too!
I have always told my friends that there is absolutely no way I would ever be any of their wedding photographers. First off, how am I supposed to focus on anything with a never-ending flow of tears? And secondly, I want to be there for them… I want to stand with them, I want to enjoy with them… I don’t want to work all day! (No matter how much I love it!) But there is absolutely one exception to this rule… If you decide to elope I absolutely, positively, must be your photographer!!! And luckily for me, so far they’ve listened.
I’ve known Kelly since I was 14 years old. We grew up together. We watched each other go through just about everything in life. So it was only fitting to spend this amazing day with these two. Kelly and Danny eloped in our favorite place in California! Big Sur! And she killed it in a gorgeous Boho BHLDN gown that I’m totally in love with. We spent the day soaking up flower covered cliffs, strolling under red wood canopies, sipping beers and chasing each other around the purple sand beaches of Pfeiffer Beach. I know I’ve said it before but “magical” does not begin to explain this gorgeous Big Sur elopement.
Enjoy!!
