A Coastal Wedding in California Rooted in Friendship 🌲💞
Caiti and Justin traveled from Missouri to the dramatic cliffs and towering redwoods of Big Sur for an intimate elopement that perfectly reflected their love story. From the very beginning, they knew they wanted a coastal wedding in California that felt romantic, intentional, and focused entirely on each other 💍🤍.
Their relationship began as a friendship—one built on trust, laughter, and genuine connection. When Caiti decided to take that leap from friends to something more, Justin was more than ready to do the same. That deep bond was felt throughout their elopement day, especially as they exchanged private vows among the redwoods. Surrounded by nature, they also included a meaningful sand ceremony, symbolizing the joining of their lives into one.
Justin was absolutely beaming all day long 😄, and together they were nonstop smiles, laughter, and quiet moments of joy. It was clear to everyone around them just how head-over-heels these two are for one another.
From Forest Vows to the Coast at Sunset 🌅
After a relaxed lunch break, we headed toward the coast to continue their celebration. Big Sur delivered one breathtaking view after another as we stopped at the iconic Bixby Bridge 🌉 before making our way to the cliffs and shoreline. As the sun dipped behind the fog bank, Caiti and Justin shared their first dance on the beach—just the two of them, waves crashing nearby, and the sky glowing softly around them 🌊✨.
