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.

We wandered through charming streets, with each location offering a perfect frame for their photos. The island’s vibrant tiles, classic Mediterranean-style facades, and historic landmarks provided stunning contrasts that highlighted the couple’s elegance and joy. Each shot photo documented their special day but also showcased the rich, architectural charm of Catalina Island.
