Photographing along the coast of Northern and Central California has always been among my favorite locations for weddings and elopements. It’s truly a beautiful place with epic views for those couples choosing to elope. I recently had the honor of photographing and officiating for Sapna and Alvin’s elopement at Garrapata State Beach in Carmel-By-The-Sea, not far from Big Sur. The day started a little rough with rain and hail showers and being 43 degrees outside. Luckily, we persisted and were able to take photos in between the breaks in the rain. It finally cleared up the last hour of the daylight just in time for their cliffside ceremony and  pictures along the beach, followed by champagne and pizza. Congratulations again, you two.
