NorCal Bay Area Adventure Elopement with Mountains, Redwoods & Ocean Views
A cloud inversion as they exchanged a private first look on the mountain top at sunrise. Dramatic mountain views with a rolling fog as private vows were exchanged. An emotional first look with family in the redwoods followed by a short walk to a waterfall. Standing on the forest floor with a redwood cathedral towering above. Laying on the beach, and hiking up cliffs with dramatic ocean views for sunset portraits, before ending the day with a celebratory dunk in the ocean. These were all scenes G & J experienced during their epic adventure elopement in Northern California from sunrise to sunset. (& no, this isn’t Big Sur!)
When G & J first pitched their ideas to me, this is exactly what I envisioned their day to look like. From sunrise to sunset, we experienced so many weather patterns and an incredible variety of scenery, all within a 20-30 min driving radius. From dramatic mountain top views with a rolling fog that made everything feel mystical and romantic, to standing under the tallest trees on earth and identifying all the wildlife living in it, to ending the day listening to waves crash upon the California shore and ultimately running into them, G & J’s elopement experience was nothing short of epic.
This is what I mean by creating an experience for your day. G & J never let anything hold them back when dreaming up ideas for their day. In fact, they confessed that they felt like they should be doing even more. (PS. there is never a right or wrong way to spend your day. Do what gets YOU excited!)
