Frank and Alexis had a beautiful elopement in Big Sur, California. I had previously captured their engagement in San Francisco, so I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their wedding. They got ready at Glen Oaks Big Sur and had a small ceremony under the Redwoods along Highway 1. We then headed to the cliffs where the waves of the Pacific Ocean crashed along the coastline. It was a stunning location for their special day, and I was honored to capture their love in such a picturesque setting. Wedding photography in Big Sur, California is truly magical, and I am grateful to have been a part of this couple's unforgettable day.

M & S decided to have a pre-wedding day portrait session, we started at Deetjen's in Big Sur and adventured down to the cliffs along the coastline overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
