J + A: Dog-Friendly Beach Wedding

Have you ever thought about:

• Getting married in a place with redwoods, coast, beach, and mountains all in one day?
• Spending money on a park permit instead of a venue?
• Grabbing a beer before the ceremony?
• Running in the ocean with your dogs as newlyweds?
• Having an intimate group of loved ones sit down for a picnic on the beach to celebrate?
• Building a sand castle with your wedding dress on?
• Tattooing your rings on your finger as a permanent symbol of love?
• Saying your vows privately at sunset?
• Watching the sun dip below the horizon and the moon peep outside the clouds right after?

Those are just a few of the possibilities when you choose to elope. J + A knew that they wanted to get married in a way that was genuine to who they were. These transplants to the California coast fell in love with the landscapes in Big Sur, and chose to spend their day doing the things they loved. Yes, we adventured to the serene redwood forests where they shared an intimate first look, and yes, we climbed the rocks of the famous Pfeiffer Beach, but they also made the day their own. It's those memories that they'll forever look back on as the best way they could've imagined spending their wedding day. Check out the rest of J + A's intimate beach elopement below!

​Lynn was the best decision made for our elopement!!! ​

She is funny, kind, relaxed, and allowed us to be ourselves. We had an absolute blast. Words can not describe how amazing, wonderful, and talented she is. She is a pleasure to work with. Not only does she act as photographer, but she made our elopement planning so easy with her guidance and all her resources and highly organized and efficient guides. Also the pictures, are you kidding?! They speak for themselves. We will treasure these photos forever, we love Lynn :) and can't thank her enough for making our day the best day ever. -J + A
