Outdoor Elopement on Catalina Island // Tessi & Kurt

Private Ceremony on Catalina Island

Tessi and Kurt’s outdoor elopement on Catalina Island was a beautiful, intimate affair, made short and sweet with the selection of my four-hour package. The day was warm with a marine layer, providing the perfect soft lighting for their photos. We began the session on their private balcony overlooking the serene ocean, creating a tranquil setting for their heartfelt vows and ring exchange. The peacefulness of the moment was palpable as they pledged their love to each other. As an ordained elopement photographer, I had the honor of pronouncing them married and signing their marriage license, sealing their commitment in a truly picturesque and personal ceremony.

The island’s vibrant tiles, classic Mediterranean-style facades, and historic landmarks provided stunning contrasts that highlighted the couple’s elegance and joy.
