Intimate wedding in Big Sur with sweet people and amazing details 💫

The fact that we live in such a beautiful area with the sea, mountains, valleys and fields, is something I don't take for granted. Often times when I go to film a wedding I'm driving down one of the most beautiful coasts in the world, or heading toward the warmth of the valley with its vineyards and rolling hills. Today I'm extra thankful for all the beauty around and getting to share yet another gorgeous day where two people said 'I do'

Big Sur Campground Elopement Film | Brandon + Stephanie at Fernwood

, ,

Brandon + Stephanie eloped at a small private campground in Big Sur among the towering redwoods and the warm sun beams shining through them. Their adventurous spirit as a couple was represented in everything from Brandon’s boots to the John Muir quote outside their tent. One of my favorite moments of the day was when all of their closest friends and family circled around them during their ceremony creating a beautiful image of their circle of support as these two started their new family together. I was honored to work beside destination photographer Cecilia Proskauer who captured the day beautifully and you can check out the gorgeous photos of the day here: Brandon + Stephanie Blog Post.

Glen Oaks Big Sur Elopement Film

, ,

This airy Big Sur Elopement started nestled among the giant redwoods where Brian + Maricela shared heartfelt personal vows with the sun streaming in through the branches, and ended along the epic sprawling Big Sur cliffs as they watched the sun go down over the crashing waves below. One of my favorite moments of the day was not actually at either of these locations, but after our beach excursion as we walked back to our cars in the parking lot, Brian knelt down and gently cleaned Maricela’s sandy feet before she put her shoes back on. His servant heart was so sweet and sincere, and it was a great picture of their relationship.

"I truly believe you were the answer to my many prayers. I love you with everything I have, and I promise to never let you doubt that I do. You believe in me and have shown me a love I don't even deserve. You will always be the very best part of my day. I am yours and you are mine, and of that I am certain."

Another amazing, ethereal, effortless elopement at Post Ranch Inn. As a couple Travis + Jennifer spent much of their time biking, running, and swimming together for marathons and triathlons, and now they will walk together, side by side for the rest of their lives.

Alila Ventana Elopement Film in the Redwoods of Big Sur, CA

, , ,

This Big Sur Elopement at Ventana Inn could be summed up in one word: magical. Caile was dressed in traditional Scottish garb to honor his heritage and family, and bagpipers led the processional into the deep Big Sur forest for Caile and Kelly to say their vows surrounded by the towering redwoods.

Soberanes Point Elopement Film | Scott + Chandler in Big Sur, CA

, ,

Scott and Chandler met when they were both 15, growing up on farms right next to each other in Georgia. Even though they lived next to each other, they were divided by county lines, so they didn't end up going to same school. They knew and admired each other all through high school and college, but the stars never aligned until their senior year of college when they finally went on their first date. Ever since then, they've been inseparable. They decided to elope along the blustery Big Sur Coast, and finish the day with pizza. If that isn't a classic love story I don't know what is. 👩🏼‍🌾👨🏻‍🌾🍕

Glen Oaks Elopement Film | David + Lauren in Big Sur, CA

This intimate Big Sur Elopement at Glen Oaks was such a sweet, delicate day among the redwoods celebrating two lives becoming one. David + Lauren's joy was infectious and it was such an honor to capture their love alongside photographer, Giana Rada. 

"When I look at you  I see home. I was born and designed to love you." 🌲

Post Ranch Inn Elopement Film | Casey + Angela in Big Sur, CA

, ,

I will never tire of Post Ranch Inn Elopements in Big Sur. Casey + Angela's day was serene yet joyous and Soaring Starkey officiated the ceremony among the massive redwoods. Evynn Levalley joined us for the day to capture the day and we ended looking over the cliffs of the Big Sur Coastline.

"May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out." ✨

Post Ranch Inn Elopement Film | Lewis + Jessica in Big Sur, CA

, ,

Big Sur elopements will never get old, and there's almost no better place to elope than Post Ranch Inn. Lewis recited an old Scottish love song dated back to the early 1800s for Jessica in front of a bed of flowers in the woods for their intimate ceremony among the giant redwoods. If you know how to read old Irish text, here's an excerpt from what he said: "Let love sparkle In her e'e, Let her love nae man but me: That's the toeher-gude I prize; There the lover's treasure lies." 🌲: @postranchinn 📷: @hellobrandonscott
