{ Craig + Kate’s Secluded Beach Elopement } on the Central Coast of California

Debbie Markham Photography_Intimate Wedding_ Beach Elopement _Moonstone Beach_Wedding Photographer_Cambria_CA_Destination Wedding_Elopement

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.

Pacific-Ocean_Big Sur Wedding_Cliff-Ceremony_Debbie Markham Wedding Photography-Big Sur-Pacific Valley-Laurel-Brian-June21-2013-097

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!

Moonstone Beach Small Wedding

Moonstone-Beach-Wedding-Photography-Cambria-CA029

My goal: photograph the wedding ceremony, portraits and get extra shots having a good time all in 1 hour!  Not possible you say… and I might have agreed before today!  Fast, yet relaxed, and fun were lovebirds John and Kimberly – who’ve been together since before high school!  They’ve known each other since they were 4 years old, and their families have celebrated every major life event together. This intimate, simple ceremony held on Moonstone Beach right out from Shamel Park, was so sweet, loving and fun – I felt like an old friend.  I could easily feel their trust and comfort with each other, no pretenses or facades, just pure contentment. How fortunate to find your best friend so young and mesh so perfectly. What a joy!
