Jenna and Michael’s Big Sur Cliff Elopement
Keeping their wedding simple on the Big Sur Coast
When I had my first consultation call with Jenna and Bryan, I was taken with how down to earth and connected (to each other) they were. Explaining that the Big Sur/Carmel area was the location of their first vacation together, they were eager to return there to be married on the cliffs overlooking the ocean.
They wanted their wedding to be about them, their commitment and their connection. So there was only one guest present–a very special four-legged one.
We found them a cliff overlook site that had the “Big Sur essence” they were seeking and that would be easily accessible for the two of them. They choose the wedding date of December 19th and booked our most popular elopement wedding experience–combining officiating, photography, flowers and bridal hair and makeup services for Jenna.
The day dawned crisp, sunny and a little bit windy–which gave Jenna’s light blue dress an ethereal quality when the wind decided to make her skirt dance.
The walk to their cliff overlook site is lined with ice plant.
And the guest was very attentive and well behaved!
Officially husband and wife, we took them on a short walk down to the beach for more photos..
