Some love stories are best celebrated surrounded by the people who matter most, with the beauty of California's coastline serving as the perfect backdrop. Hannah and James' wedding was exactly that—a heartfelt celebration filled with breathtaking views, meaningful moments, and unforgettable memories. Their day began with an intimate ceremony at Wedding Rock, where they exchanged vows in front of their closest family. Perched above the rugged coastline, Wedding Rock offered sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, creating a setting that felt both peaceful and awe-inspiring.

J and J eloped this week at Pfeiffer Beach Big Sur. Coming all the way from Kansas City to Carmel for the first time, I was so excited to show them the coast. They stayed at a guest cottage in a house in Carmel and followed me to the cliffs and Pfeiffer beach. Most of their wedding day was full of laughter. I absolutely loved their ceremony on the cliffs as the fog rolled in

Pfeiffer Beach is famous for its keyhole rock formation, it’s a must-see when you visit the Big Sur area. Pfeiffer Beach is a truly unmissable spot with its dramatic rock formations and purple sand. The further north you go, the more purple the sand gets due to a mineral being washed down the hillside of the beach. As well as its quirky color, it’s also one of California’s premier sunset spots.
