If you fell in love with the Twilight wedding, this wedding inspo is for you. These two always envisioned a barefoot wedding in the redwoods, and what better place to get married than the campground in Big Sur that M used to spend her childhood memories at. It was everything they imagined - all their guests hanging out in the cabins and campgrounds for a few days, adventuring barefoot in the redwoods and on the coast, and the most dreamy evening spent under the stars and twinkle lights amongst the redwoods with good food and good company. Check out the rest of their October fall wedding below!

Nestled in the small town of Pacific Grove is Asilomar Conference Grounds and Asilomar State Beach, two of the best hidden gems of the Monterey Bay and Central Coast. While most people may know the white sands of Carmel Beach, the playful otters of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, or the rugged coastline of Big Sur, Asilomar holds its own with its rich history and beautiful architecture. Spend enough time with locals and you'll find that its the spot to watch the sunset. Besides its rocky beach, the nearby conference grounds serves as a community gathering place, with live music nights, fire pits, and pool tables. The buildings were designed by Julia Morgan, who is best known for her work at Hearst Castle. So if you're looking for an all-in-one wedding venue that has beach and coastal views, lodging, and historical architecture, this is the place for you!

​One snowy fall down a hill in college, and these two have been falling for each other ever since.

What an incredibly special day for these two, who got married at Big Sur River Inn! This place had always been a special place for them - he had grown up in Carmel, and Big Sur was one of the first places they visited together. When they got engaged, they knew they had to get married here. But besides this coastal getaway, there was another place that meant so much to them - Japan. (In fact, it was these two’s recommendations to made us extend our own Japan trip!) A place where they fell in love, got engaged, and shared so many memories. So as an homage, they created a conbini snack bar with all the classics - Pocari sweat, milk tea, and melon pan just to name a few, and complete with a gachapon machine that dispensed custom artwork of them. They walked down the aisle to the soundtrack of Studio Ghibli, and her outfit was absolute perfection with a bow in her hair reminiscent of Kiki. All these touches made their day feel so personal - it couldn’t have been a more authentic reflection of their love story. Check out the rest of their Big Sur River Inn wedding below!

These two environmental scientists knew they wanted to get married somewhere that celebrated their love of nature - so Kennolyn Camp Hilltop Hacienda in Santa Cruz was the perfect backdrop for their wedding day! They added so many personal touches to their day, from crystal beads throughout the florals representing water droplets as a nod to his job, to leafy earrings representing the redwood trees, to monarch butterfly placecards on their reception tables as a nod to her job. And even though it rained on them a bit throughout the day, that didn’t deter them at all - it was the happy, joyful day they had always dreamed of, surrounded by the outdoors and the people they love.

L + G was the type of couple that was so full of joy, you just knew they were made for each other. It was that joy that made their wedding day so incredibly special. There was a moment during the ceremony when these two looked at their loved ones in the crowd and just took it all in…no words were needed, and in those small, quiet moments, you could feel the tremendous love they had for their friends and family, and the equally bounding love their friends and family had for them. In that moment, a million words were said. I’ll never forget what an honor it is to be a part of these moments. Check out the rest of L + G's Hyatt Carmel Highland's wedding below.
