Samuel H. Boardman State Park Elopement

Elopement
Written By Flora Gibson

Nicole and Sam eloped on the Oregon Coast a few weeks ago, and it was such a beautiful wedding day. From their first look to their ceremony and first dance at Secret Beach, it was one of the most beautiful elopement days I’ve been a part of. Nicole and Sam were so easygoing and full of emotion; I’m so happy they scheduled 4 hours and decided to focus on coastal views as we had more time for authentic imagery and moments. They had originally wanted to include Jedediah Smith Redwoods but, after driving there themselves, decided against it, as it’s SUCH a massive trip between the two. My favorite part of their day was how emotional their first look was and how fun their beer cheers were, with so many champagne pops it felt so fun and real for them.

Emily and Austin eloped at Jedediah Smith Redwoods this week in California. With a private ceremony surrounded by massive redwoods, they continued their day with a beautiful first dance on the beach, followed by a picnic, where they mixed custom cocktails, surrounded by my favorite feature, beach grass. They had such a beautiful day crossing back and forth between the Oregon and California border.

Borgo Sant’Ambrogio Wedding
Borgo Sant’Ambrogio Wedding

Borgo Sant’Ambrogio is such a beautiful wedding venue in the rolling hills of Tuscany, Italy. From its old-world charm to its many lawns and swimming pool, it offers a unique and beautiful backdrop for any wedding. I absolutely loved the proximity of Borgo Sant’Ambrogio to small, unique towns like San Quirico d’Orca and Bagno Vignoni for a relaxing night in the hot springs to a plethora of Michelin Star restaurants, and a perfect setting for a day before photography session. Running through the quiet streets of San Quirico before heading to a wonderful dinner.

Big Sur Proposal
Big Sur Proposal

Rebecca and Julia are engaged!!! Rebecca reached out to me a few months before their trip to Big Sur with a plan to surprise the love of her life. I absolutely loved working with Rebecca she was so intentional and decisive in what her vision was. Deetjens was the perfect proposal spot, easy to meet, and plan with a beautiful backdrop. Julia plays the guitar, and I loved that they included that as part of their story. Rebecca proposed right in front of their cabin, the Castro cabin and then we adventured to the mountains and meadow for some couples portraits after. Congratulations you two!!!
