Big Sur Elopement, Southern California Wedding Photography

It’s no surprise that Claire and I love California. On this specific trip, we also happened to document an amazing elopement in Lake Tahoe as well as Lauren and Scott’s engagement in Big Sur. It was a crazy busy week filled with lots of mountain driving (sorry Claire), adventures, amazing beer, and even better company. One piece of advice to those in Big Sur? Stay at Glen Oaks. It was incredible.

Alina and Doguhan eloped amongst their family and close friends at two private residences, one in Big Sur, and one in the Carmel Valley. Both homes required navigating twisty uphill one way roads (with two lanes of traffic, mind you), but the views from each were incredible. I can still smell both the ocean and the crisp air from this trip and can’t wait to go back.

Thank you both so much for allowing us this tiny glimpse into your life.
