K + Z: 1961 Pink Cadillac Elopement

When Kristi and Zac sent their inquiry, I swear I found our couple in an alternate universe…

1. Both Kristi and I grew up our entire lives a few houses down from our future spouses and even had mutual friends, but didn’t meet and didn’t start dating until our senior year, our spouse’s junior year. We both went to the movies for our first date.
2. Both Kristi and I did long distance with our partners in college. When Zac/I left for college, Kristi/Keith put together a CD of songs. We spent many hours on Skype and wrote post it notes to each other
3. Both Kristi and I eventually ended up at the same college as our partner.
4. Zac re-proposed on Freemont Street, Keith and I met in a city called Fremont.
5. Zac/I didn’t like coffee before meeting Kristi/Keith, but now the first thing he does/I do in the morning is turn on the coffee maker.
6. Both Kristi and I are the detail oriented, overthinkers, while our partners remind us to have fun and relax.
7. Both Kristi and I are very crafty people, and like to design our own personal details. She even designed a custom vintage style postcard with a bride and groom in the redwoods (you would’ve thought it was from Etsy!)

​Kristi had been following my work for years, not even knowing that we shared such similar stories. The more and more we chatted, the more similarities we found. It was truly fate. And of course, their elopement day was incredibly sweet, and it was an absolute joy to be a part of it. From her putting on his boutonnière (just like prom), to her helping him shave to get ready, to them reading old love letters to each, it truly felt like an authentic reflection of their story and the memories they had shared over the years. Check out the rest of their Glen Oaks Big Sur elopement below!

"​We couldn’t be happier!!!

From the first sneak peek of the previews, we were moved to tears. Lynn captured every emotion and beautiful detail of our day, balancing those raw, heartfelt moments with fun, candid shots that truly felt like “us.” Lynn brought a calming, patient energy to our elopement, making us feel at ease and allowing us to focus on each other. Without any family or friends present, her presence felt comforting, like we had a friend by our side. She has a unique ability to capture not just images, but the story and spirit of the day. Our family and friends, who were initially unsure about our choice to elope, now fully understand why after seeing the photos and the complete composition of emotions that ran through us that day. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many commenting on how stunning the images are. Lynn’s talent genuinely speaks for itself, and we’re so grateful for her role in making our day unforgettable. If you’re planning an elopement or special occasion in the Big Sur or Carmel area, we highly recommend working with Lynn—she’s simply the best!" - K + Z
