Deetjens Big Sur Elopement Photography
Lindsey and Phillip eloped this week at Deetjens Big Sur for their California elopement. Lindsey and Phillip are high school sweethearts who have been together for years and wanted to explore Big Sur for the first time together on their road trip from Washington. I suggested Deetjens for its proximity to beautiful redwoods with amazing light and overall charm. It’s my absolute favorite venue in Big Sur with such a rich history. We started off their wedding day with a quick cuddle in the cabin before having a first look in the redwoods.
We quickly went to a secondary redwood location that had the most amazing light for their ceremony across a little river in a beautiful field of clovers followed by a drive to Garrapata beach for their first dance and picnic on the beach. I loved that they picked up some treats at a downtown Carmel Bakery and packed a bottle of champagne for a sweet moment to relax and enjoy. We got so lucky with the light, having sun in the redwoods and clouds by the beach making the hidden cave that much more beautiful.
