Mackaylee and Sean’s Magical Malibu Elopement: A Love Story from Kansas City to California.

Mackaylee and Sean’s journey to their dream elopement in Malibu, California, began eight years ago when they first visited this picturesque coastal town from their hometown of Kansas City, Missouri. Mesmerized by Malibu’s beauty during their initial trip, they knew it held a special place in their hearts.

Destination Elopement

Their decision to elope in Malibu was rooted in their fond memories of the town, but they wanted to experience it in a different light. While their previous visit showcased dry, brown mountains in December, they opted for a springtime elopement when Malibu blooms with lush greenery and wildflowers.
