Carmel Valley, California Ranch Wedding // Rachel and Donald
Rachel & Donald had a beautiful ranch wedding in Carmel Valley, California. The day was filled with so much laughter, love, and boho goodness. Mountain to the sea co-styling worked with Rachel to transform this working horse ranch into the perfect wedding venue. Copper arches, Turkish rugs, and King protea (my favorite ) were everywhere. Rachel's father made all the copper arches, backdrops, and dress hangers. Rachel's sister made all the floral arrangements, so much love was poured into Rachel & Donald's beautiful forever and I was so honored to be a part of it.

If you’ve been dreaming of an elopement that feels both nostalgic and wildly free, a vintage car beach elopement in California might be exactly what you’re looking for. There’s something undeniably cinematic about the combination of salt air, windswept cliffs, and a beautifully restored classic car—it transforms your wedding day into a story that feels like it’s been lived a hundred times before, yet entirely your own.
As a California elopement photographer, I’m seeing more couples lean into this blend of retro romance and coastal adventure, and it’s easy to understand why.
