Proposal stories in San Diego are always so special 💕

The most magical 48 hours filled with love, nature, and pure joy:

Simon and Meredith’s elopement adventure began at the crack of dawn in Lake Tahoe. As the first light of day touched the lake, they shared a moment that was nothing short of poetic.

From there, we hiked to the mountain’s summit, where they danced to a beautiful German song. Even though we couldn’t understand the lyrics, we were moved to tears seeing how genuinely happy they were in that moment.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, they exchanged vows by the lake, surrounded by loved ones who mean the world to them. The evening was a whirlwind of laughter, delicious food, and more dancing.

On the second day, we embarked on another hike to explore hidden mountain lakes. The experience was surreal—like stepping into a painting where every brushstroke is a testament to the beauty of nature and love.

The hike back was an adventure in itself. Under a sky full of stars, we listened to music and talked about everything and anything.

What makes an elopement truly magical isn’t just the setting or the details; it’s the love that fills every moment. It’s about finding beauty in the perfectly imperfect instances that make up your story.

Simon and Meredith, we’re so thankful to have been a part of your love journey, and even more grateful for the friendship that has emerged from it ❤️

Chloe and Matt's elopement day began with a tender first look at sunrise. With the world still asleep, they shared a quiet moment together, bathed in the soft glow of the rising sun. The beauty of the day unfolded as they stood on a breathtaking cliff, exchanging their vows and rings. The warmth of their love enveloped them, and their hearts soared with the promise of forever.

Afterward, we embarked on an adventure portrait session, capturing their love in every frame. Nature became our canvas as we ventured to stunning locations in San Diego, discovering hidden gems that added to their love story.

We took a small break, only to reunite in the evening to explore more enchanting spots.

As the night descended, we captured breathtaking photos with lanterns, the soft glow reflecting the depth of their connection.

While crafting their sneak peek gallery and heartfelt slideshow, we couldn't help but be moved to tears of joy. Being a part of these special moments is an incredible honor that reminds us of the profound power of love.

Chloe and Matt's elopement day was a celebration of love, both simple and extraordinary. It's in these cherished moments that we witness the true beauty of human connection.

Each couple's story is unique and precious, and we are humbled by the trust they place in us to capture their cherished memories. The love, laughter, and raw emotions we witness behind the lens remind us of the beauty that exists in the world. It is an honor to be a part of their journey, creating visual treasures that will forever serve as a testament to their love and the joy they shared on their wedding day ❤️

We are still completely swept up in the magic of Christie and Tina's elopement day!!

It all began in a quaint cabin, tucked away amidst nature's beauty, where the couple's first look was nothing short of spellbinding. Our journey then led us to an astonishingly beautiful beach overlook – the perfect canvas for captivating adventure portraits, an intimate picnic, and an unexpected but delightful visit from the local deer 🦌

We then ventured to a secluded spot on the beach, where the rhythm of the ocean served as the soundtrack for Christie and Tina's heartfelt vow exchange with their children and 2 adorable dogs as their audience.

This day was nothing short of extraordinary - a beautiful testament to a love story that's as unique and inspiring as the couple ❤️

Eloping offers an unmatched opportunity to truly express who you are as a couple. For instance, you might opt for an off-road adventure to a secluded location for your ceremony, turning the journey into a thrilling part of your special day. Perhaps you're an adventurous pair who would love to kick-start your day with a heart-pounding activity like a sunrise hot air balloon ride, skydiving, or mountain climbing. Alternatively, more relaxed couples may choose to have a leisurely picnic breakfast or a romantic beach walk.

The day could also commence with an intimate exchange of letters, where heartfelt words and promises are shared, setting the tone for the day and creating a moment to cherish forever. Personal touches such as a self-written ceremony or a cherished family tradition can add a unique and deeply meaningful touch to your elopement. Eloping also allows for a day as grand or as simple as you wish; you could book a private dinner at a gourmet restaurant, or relish a home-cooked meal under the stars.

Incorporating your shared hobbies or interests can also make your day feel more authentic; this could involve anything from stargazing, wine-tasting, or a backpacking adventure. Nature-loving couples could spend their elopement day reveling in the great outdoors, with a sunrise ceremony on a tranquil beach, followed by an off-road exploration or a peaceful boat ride. Elopements also offer unique ways to include loved ones, such as a virtual toast after the ceremony or including pre-recorded video messages from them in your day.

Ultimately, regardless of how you plan your elopement day, it should be a reflection of your unique bond, filled with love, joy, and moments that will transform into lifelong memories ❤️

Makenna and Logan came all the way from Philadelphia to have their love captured on these gorgeous cliffs ❤️

Engagement sessions like this one are not only a great opportunity for breathtaking photos but also a chance to bond and create memories before the whirlwind of the wedding festivities begin. They offer a moment of calm, a space to celebrate your unique love story, and a way to feel even more comfortable in front of the camera when the big day arrives. Here's to love, laughter, and a lifetime of beautiful moments ahead 🌊💍

Sarah and Cole said their heartfelt "I do's" on a stunning cliff, with the sound of the waves and the soft colors of the morning sky creating such a romantic and movie like scene!

Wildflowers were everywhere, adding a magical touch to their intimate moment. You could feel the love between these two, reminding us of how special it is when two hearts connect.

As elopement photographers, we had the incredible opportunity to capture the magic of a recent adventure to the Green Sand Beach.

This breathtaking natural wonder is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget!

The journey to the beach was not without its challenges, but the rugged terrain and obstacles only added to the sense of adventure and excitement surrounding the destination.

As we navigated the unpaved road leading to the beach, we couldn’t help but feel like we are on a movie set. The stunning natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, combined with the unique green hue of the sand, was truly a sight to behold.

We feel so incredibly privileged to be able to document these once-in-a-lifetime experiences for our couple, and can’t wait to see where the next journey will take us ❤️

One of the perks of being elopement photographers is discovering so many beautiful locations that we may have never got to experience otherwise. We’ve traveled to secret beaches, remote mountain edges, deserted forests, the middle of the desert, ice-covered lakes, and more - there’s never a boring day when you’re accompanying a couple on their elopement adventure!
It’s hard for us to choose our favorite location across so many beautiful elopement destinations, but there’s one we’ve been blown away by again and again that we’d like to put on your radar. It’s time for you to get to know Moab (if you’re not already familiar).

Having fun during your engagement session is key to getting natural and relaxed photos that truly capture the love and connection between you and your partner. Here are a few tips for how to make the most of your engagement session and have fun while doing it:

•Choose a location that is meaningful to you and your partner. Whether it's the place where you had your first date or a spot that holds special memories, being in a place that you love will naturally put you both at ease.

•Dress in clothes that make you feel good and reflect your personalities. Whether it's casual or dressy, make sure you both feel comfortable and confident in what you're wearing.

•Be yourselves, and don't be afraid to show your personalities. A great way to have fun during your engagement session is to let your guard down and be yourselves. Laugh, joke around, and enjoy each other's company.

•Take some time to relax and get to know your photographer. Your photographer is there to make the experience fun and enjoyable, so don't be afraid to ask questions, share your ideas, and make suggestions.

•Make the session interactive, like playing a game, having a picnic, or doing something you both enjoy.

•Bring props, like a favorite book, a musical instrument, or a picnic blanket, to add personality and interest to your photos.

•Take a break and enjoy the moment together. Remember, the point of the session is to capture your love and connection, so take a moment to hold each other close, look into each other's eyes, and savor the moment.

•Lastly, have fun and enjoy the time together. The session is all about you two and your love story ❤️

Rainy Day Elopements: How to Make the Most of a Gloomy Day

Eloping on a rainy day may not be your first choice, but with a little bit of planning and a positive attitude, you can make your special day just as magical and romantic as you've always imagined. Here are some tips to help you make the most of a rainy day elopement.

1. Embrace the Rain
Instead of seeing the rain as a negative, embrace it and let it add to the intimate and cozy atmosphere of your elopement. Raindrops can create beautiful reflections and add a unique and romantic touch to your photos.

2. Bring Umbrellas
Bring along umbrellas for a playful and romantic photo opportunity. Imagine holding hands with your partner and kissing under a colorful umbrella while the rain pours down. It's a memory you'll treasure forever.

3. Dress for the Weather
Dress in layers and bring waterproof boots to keep you comfortable and stylish. Opt for a chic and elegant raincoat or jacket to add a touch of class to your elopement attire.

4. Warm Up Afterwards
Have a hot drink or a bottle of wine ready to warm you up after the ceremony. This is the perfect opportunity to snuggle up with your partner and enjoy your first moments as newlyweds.

5. Remember the Symbolism
Remember that the rain is a symbol of good luck and prosperity in many cultures. It's said that rain on your wedding day is a sign of a blessed marriage. So, let it be a reminder that your special day is truly blessed and full of good luck.

In conclusion, a rainy day elopement can be just as magical and romantic as a sunny one. With a little bit of planning, the right attitude, and these helpful tips, you can make the most of a gloomy day and create memories that will last a lifetime ❤️

There's something undeniably romantic
about eloping.
Eloping conjures up images of wild adventures and
impulsive decisions of two people thrown together by
fate and choosing to seize the moment. In some ways,
eloping is the ultimate expression of love - a declaration
that nothing and no one will stand in the way of your
relationship.
Of course, eloping doesn't always go according to plan.
In some places in the US, eloping can be a bit like
eloping on Mars. The terrain is unfamiliar, the customs
are strange, and you may end up feeling like you're a
million miles from home. But that's all part of the
adventure, right? If you're thinking of eloping, go for it!
It's an experience you'll never forget❤️

One of the most romantic ideas for your couple
photoshoot is a late-night hiking date in Moab UT. The stars
will be shining bright and the scenery is breathtaking. This is
a great opportunity to get some stunning photos of you and
your partner while enjoying the great outdoors and have lots
of fun🌌❤️

What can be better than a sunrise wedding
photos at Sunset Cliffs 😍

We are so excited to announce that we have a new family member!!!

Two weeks ago, we adopted this handsome boy named Atlas. He was in pretty bad condition when we got him – his back legs were weak because he was growing up in a cage without a lot of movement, and he was scared of everything. He didn’t even eat from his bowl, and we had to hand feed him for a few days. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster to see him go from a scared, weak, and malnourished puppy to a healthy, playful, loving, and forever grateful friend. We are so happy he is a part of our family, and we can already tell we all are going to be in much better shape pretty soon. The boy is becoming more and more active ❤️

There are so many ways to make your elopement day unique and unforgettable!!!

First, think about an activity you want to do together on your big day. There are countless options, but here are some of our favorites:

1. Have a private dinner on a rooftop overlooking the cityscape

2. Get married in a hot air balloon

3. Go for a horseback ride along the beach

4. Take a dance class together

5. Spend the day at an amusement park

6. Go on a wine tasting tour

9. Visit the place where you first met

10. Take a cooking class together

11. Rent a 4x4 and have an off-road adventure.

12. Take a retro Convertible for a drive along the coast.

Another great way to make your elopement day unforgettable is to choose a unique location. Getting married in an unusual setting will definitely make your adventure wedding stand out! Consider getting married in a beautiful natural setting like a top of a mountain, waterfall, or secluded forest. If you're looking for something indoors, try renting out a unique venue like an art gallery, a cozy cabin, or even a castle!

Also, you can choose to complete your day with amazing food and drink. Work with catering company or a private chef to create a menu that is not only delicious but also reflective of your personal style. And don't forget the cake! Choose a flavor and design that is completely unique to you.

Your elopement day is all about you and your partner, so make sure it is truly unforgettable by putting your personal spin on things. With a bit of creativity, you can make your intimate wedding day an experience that you and your guests( if you choose to have any) will never forget.

So there you have it – some ideas to help make your wedding day one of a kind.

One of the most important things in our work is to capture our couples for who they really are.

When photographing elopements, Liza and I
always look for that special emotional moment. The moment that can tell a story through a single picture. Show something you can’t quite put into words, and communicate that special connection a couple has with each other.

Phone calls, emails, and an optional engagement session before the big day play a huge role in creating a story. A story that is true to the couple. A story that will mean so much for them and the people closest to them for years to come.

What story do you want your pictures to tell?

Why do we do what we do?

Whatever you do in your life, It’s essential to have a strong reason to do it.
As soon as we discovered the meaning of the word “elopement,” it clicked for us. We had no idea there was an alternative way to “get married.”
With elopements, there is no traditional way to do things. You have complete freedom to do whatever you like for your special day.
Now, after countless events all over the country, we can confidently say that there hasn’t been a single elopement that felt like something we’d already done.
Every couple has something special, something unique that they like, and they can build the day (or days) around this meaningful piece.
Together we build a one of a kind experience that feels fresh and unique. But most importantly, it aligns with our couple’s values. It’s a creative, joyful and fun process where we get to know our couples and create the day of their dreams together.
That’s why we do what we do and dedicate our lives to this beautiful thing called Love ❤️

When you start planning the day of your elopement/adventure wedding, what's the feeling you're after? Where do you envision your ceremony to take place? Is it an ocean shore, is it the mountains, or you’ve always dreamed of eloping in a desert?

Don’t make any compromises. It’s your day! Follow your heart, and you’ll be happy you did. ❤️

Brooke + Eric

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
