D + J: Mt. Tamalpais Elopement

There are few places in the world where you can see so many diverse landscapes all in one day. For D + J, they wanted to spend their day going to the places they loved - hiking up to the mountains, wandering amongst the redwood trees, and catching a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. We started off early in the morning and watched the golden glow of the sunrise shine through the windows of the glass-encased balcony of their Airbnb. After a sweet first look with her dad, we headed up to Mt. Tamalpais for their first look. With a few of their guests arriving late, we had to make a few last minute changes to make up for lost time, so D + J told Keith - my husband and also the officiant! - if he could shorten the ceremony. But even in the quick 10-minute ceremony, I watched these two get emotional and loved capturing every second of it as they teared up at the years of memories they shared since high school until now. After they said "I do," I took them adventuring to some of my favorite spots as we made our way back to San Francisco. Check out the rest of their Mt. Tamalpais elopement below!
