Garrapata Elopement, Carmel-By-The-Sea, California

A summer sunset, the beach, and your partner in crime. Yep, that's the winning combination for the best elopement in Big Sur!

It's funny how shy these two were when I first met them. Meeting a random photographer over Zoom is intimidating, sure, but I definitely didn't expect the beautiful, wild, carefree chemistry they shared when we finally met in person. I suppose it didn't hurt to have some champagne and the entire beach to themselves for their celebration.

It's obvious they have a sense of adventure! After uprooting their lives and moving to Los Angeles, they decided it was time to run off to Big Sur and elope. It takes a lot of fearlessness and love to travel thousands of miles and explore the unknown together. That adventurous spirit really shines through in their incredibly strong connection.
