Coming from Utah to intimately speak their vows to one another made with only a minister, me the official witness as well as the photographer. I so enjoyed my time with Craig and Kate!  After the ceremony and some lovely portraits,, their spark for a few fun in-the-water ocean shots arose which was really fun! A beach elopement is great for any couple who wants to marry in a secluded location with limited guests, or even no guests like Craig and Kate! It’s such a beautiful way to focus solely on your partner and your vows.

An Intimate Chapel Wedding in small towns are simply delightful. Not only because you can really hear the officiants words of love, acceptance, guidance, support etc, and it feels endearing.  But also because I think small towns embody a special warmth that carries into the sweetness of the day.  I catch myself smiling the entire time I’m photographing the event… and I love it.

Intimate weddings are perfect for couples who choose to spend their wedding day entirely focused on each other. It’s a sweet, loving, and beautiful ceremony to share exclusively with a limited amount of guests or each other.

The sweeping views and Lauren’s simple wild flower bridal bouquet was so delightful and amazing I could barely stand it – I was giddy with happiness.  The sweetness between them and their families was a true pleasure to be immersed in for their wedding at Pacific Valley in Big Sur. They are both graduating with PhD’s from Cal Poly this year – congratulations!
