Look no further! I’ve gathered all my resources to give you the best intimate Santa Cruz wedding guide.

Over the years, I’ve captured Santa Cruz’s best; I’ll be revealing my trade secrets as you go.

From Yosemite to the coast of Big Sur I share my favorite dresses, accessories, and shoes to help guide you to the perfect elopement dress for your adventure in California.

From my favorite Big Sur restaurants, venus, and hotels to permits and the best locations and timelines. An elopement planning guide, written by a Big Sur native.

The best time to Elope in Northern California, when to Elope in California for wildflowers, good weather, and beautiful coastal views.

I often offer suggestions to my photography clients while they are here visiting either for family sessions, elopements, or engagement shoots. I wanted to make those suggestions available to anyone on my site! Being a self-proclaimed foodie who loves good food but hates up-tight atmospheres this list will not include black tie locations although there is plenty of them in Carmel, Monterey, Big Sur, and Pebble Beach. (L'Auberge in Carmel was recently given one Michelin star and is phenomenal without kids) For those families visiting I have two kids and spend the majority of my time at the beach or river here, I’ll include my favorite fast places!
