Deetjens Big Sur Photographer

Elopement
Written By Flora Gibson

Deetjens Big Sur is one of my favorite hotels for clients to stay at during their California elopement. Being that it is one of the oldest hotels in Big Sur, it has such charm and unique vibes, and the light through vintage glass is just my favorite. S + M got ready at the beautiful antique cabin in the woods and went on for a ceremony under the redwoods followed by a first dance and picnic at the beach. They had such a beautiful sunny day, and we stayed to capture every last bit of light.
