J +K had a beautiful intimate elopement this week at the La Playa Hotel in Carmel California. Surrounded by J’s best friends and K’s siblings. They had a beautiful first look at the hotel before heading off for a cliffside ceremony and a beachside picnic, followed by a first dance on the cliffs as the sun set. La Playa Hotel in Carmel is such a beautiful hotel in Carmel By The Sea that is perfectly close to many of my favorite restaurants and beautiful cliffs and beach access 15 minutes up the road. If you aren’t wanting redwoods for your Carmel elopement I always suggest staying in Carmel as it’s so much easier to find fun accommodations and places to eat. J+K ‘s day was so full of laughter and joy I felt so honored to be their photographer.
