Bridget and Grady’s dreamy boho elopement in Big Sur, took place in the heart of the enchanting forest.

Bridget, a farm girl at heart, felt right at home as she embraced the soft earth between her toes throughout the day. Her morning began at a cozy cabin nestled within the forest. With the help of a skilled hair and makeup artist, she transformed into a vision of elegance, her beachy boho style wedding dress complementing the carefree spirit of their elopement. Grady, dashing in a light-colored cream suit, perfectly matched Bridget’s bohemian charm.

Redwood Ceremony Location

As the warm sun kissed their skin, they shared a magical “first look moment” amidst the rustling leaves. Their intimate ceremony followed, beneath the sheltering canopy of ancient redwoods, where personal vows and rings were exchanged, sealing their commitment to each other.

After the magical forest grove, they retreated to the lawn in front of their cabin. Here, amidst the magical canopy of treetops, they cut into an elopement cake, sharing sweet bites and laughter. And perfect sugar boost before heading to the beach!

Pfeiffer Beach and Ocean Fun

Their journey led them to the windy yet picturesque beach, where windswept hair captured the playful side of their love. The beach was the windiest day I had ever experienced at the beach with huge swells! They danced around with toes in the sand and the salty air spraying their hair as they touched the ocean waves.

First Dance at Big Sur Cliffs

The sun began its descent, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink as they ventured to a quiet spot among the sycamore trees. Here, their first dance played, a soul-stirring moment with the sun’s golden fingers gently streaming through the branches. In that moment, it was just them and the music, lost in each other’s arms.

The enchantment of nature, and the beauty of embracing life’s most magical moments, barefoot and carefree.
