Welcome to the 30's club, Kate Elaine Photos -- today we celebrate all things you🥳🎂
It wasn't easy procuring photographs of the photographer, but all of your loved ones pulled it off😏
So let this be a reminder for the rest of you :: take the photo, no matter what you're doing or what you look like, because those photographs are moments in time, cherished moments when time stands still🫶
Happy birth date, Katie! Here's to a new decade that's filled with so much love, joy and everlasting memories🥂
Initially, I headed to CA to officiate the elopement of @leighmcentire + @frank.jpg, but this incredible opportunity gave my soul much needed nourishment🥰
After landing in San Fran, I drove to the countryside to stay with @lindzzzmac for a girls' night with delicious housemade pasta dinner at @portola_kitchen and CA wine🍷
Upon waking the next day, I drove down the @highway1roadtrip to the @pointlobosstatenaturalreserve -- I literally teared up at the beautiful views along the way🌄
After walking through a portion ofthe breathtaking reserve, I headed to @ventanabigsur for a spa-filled afternoon🌟
The evening ended with dinner at the Shire-like Deetjen's Big Sur Inn, where @beanart__photography and @rosewhitefilms joined me ( our phenomenal creative team for the elopement )🏘️
On Wednesday, May 3rd, I officiated for Leigh + Frank, surrounded by the ancient Redwoods at the @glenoaksbigsur underneath their Fairy Circle :: it was an unfortgettable day filled with so much love and joy🌳
The beauty team was @blushmonterey, the bouquet was by @big_sur_flowers, the wedding cake, along with tasty pastries, were by @bigsurbakery😍
After the elopement, I headed to the @victorianinnmonterey for check-in, with dinner shortly after at @montriobistro :: the service and dinner were both out of this world🙌
The next morning, I explored @visitcanneryrow, but not without grabbing brunch at @schoonersmonterey first :: these folks crushed my crab bennies🍳
After walking around and buying mementos ( even for the fur babes, thanks @pacificpettreats ), I headed to @contentainn in Carmel Valley, which was followed by a self-guided walking wine tour🍇
That afternoon, I visited @georiswinery, @twistedrootswinery, @boekenoogenwines, @joycewinecompany and @scratchwines, then had a good night's rest at the Inn😁
On my last day, I drank tea next to a lemon tree, surrounded by the magniciant hills :: I was sad to go but my heart, mind and soul were SO fulfilled
Rock and roll is not just music, it is a way of life -- it has its own spirit🤘
And boy did we have spirit during our 'Love Rocks' content day last year with Kate Elaine Photos 💃
This is why we go out of our way to host such events, because it truly gives us and everyone involved, a chance to run wild with creativity✨
This shoot featured a monochromatic theme with shades of red and our rockstar vendors (pun intended) created incredible content🎸
It's a great reminder for those planning their wedding day :: it's your day, so do it your way👏

We are written in the stars✨
A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of co-directing another styled photo shoot with Kate Elaine Photos and some star-studded vendors🤩
Despite it being a scorcher, we all went above and beyond with our 'Boho Celestial' themed day🌟
We had two sets that featured two beautiful real couples :: one represented a lighter mood and the other represented a darker mood🌠
We were too caught up in coordinating and styling to capture much BTS footage.. but we do have a few sneak peaks from our amazing photographers to share with you🙌
