We wanted to make sure we captured the moment. So the photographer capturing it had to be a good one. So we chose Karen. We chose Karen because we had seen what she had done before with other couple and lesbian couples. We had seen her pictures out in nature and we fell in love.

We saved up and paid the price because we knew it would be worth it. We will have those beautiful pictures that captured the most important moment in our lives forever and we are very thankful for that.

Why Elope in Big Sur?

Big Sur has everything—rugged coastlines, redwood groves, and open ocean views that go on forever.

It's perfect for couples who want to mix adventure with a little luxury. You can stay in a high-end resort or rough it at a campsite by the beach.

No matter how you do it, this place delivers.

best time to elope in Big Sur:

Big Sur is incredible year-round, but the best time to elope is spring, early summer, and fall (March–June, September–November).

Spring brings wildflowers, green hills, and fewer crowds. Early summer has long daylight hours, but coastal fog can roll in. Fall is one of the best times—warm days, clear skies, and less traffic on Highway 1.
