San Diego Elopements and Intimate Weddings

Just the Two of You, Beautifully Told

Some of the most meaningful weddings are the smallest. An elopement or intimate wedding lets you focus entirely on each other, choose a breathtaking setting, and spend your day exactly the way you want. It deserves the same artistry and care as any grand celebration.

Whether it is just the two of you, a handful of family members, or twenty of your closest friends, I will help you plan the timing, the location, and the light, then photograph every quiet, joyful moment.

Planning Your Elopement

I help you choose a location and time of day that suit your vision, suggest quieter spots away from crowds, and build a relaxed timeline so nothing feels rushed. Some San Diego beaches and parks require a permit for ceremonies, so it is worth checking with the city or park before you finalize your plans.

California offers both public and confidential marriage licenses through the county clerk. A public license requires at least one witness at your ceremony, so plan accordingly if you are eloping as a couple. Check the San Diego County Clerk website for current details.
