Karis + Ryan | Sunset Ceremony at Beetle Rock
We dreamt for months leading up to their warm summer elopement, considering how amazing it would be spend a full day adventuring together, and finally ending the day with a ceremony. The anticipation of the day gave everyone butterflies, and finally rings were exchanged and vows were promised, as we stood on Beetle Rock while the sun dropped past the horizon.
Just a reminder that eloping gives you all the freedom to do things out of the box - tequila shots while hiking through the woods, charcuterie boards, and a ‘just married’ rock n roll leather jacket.
Here’s to Karis & Ryan, eloping with style!
Samantha + Chad | Sequoia Elopement
A three piece suit is seldom seen in these parts, but when it is, you always stop people in their tracks with a juxtaposition of class and raw natural beauty.
Samantha and Chad got married during an epic road trip through the western states. I’m so happy they chose Sequoia to say their vows - we spent the whole afternoon wandering the trees and taking in the beautiful smells of the magnificent groves after saying their vows under the Parker Group.

Ann + Dawson | Sequoia
Ann & Dawson flew to Sequoia from Texas to fulfill their dream of marrying each other under a grove of Sequoia trees.
Elopements like this are always so special - reading each other handwritten vows, exploring the gigantic trees, popping champagne under a high sierra sunset… there really is no ‘box’ you have to stuff your wedding into.

Brianna + Kevin | Sequoia Elopement
Eloping in Sequoia? What could be better - especially in October, my favorite month in Sequoia (shhhh don’t tell anyone!)
Our favorite venue in SEKI is Wuksachi Lodge - and we were able to convince Brianna & Kevin to stay here the weekend of their elopement, since it’s so close to all the best photo locations and most importantly the grove of trees we planned on hiking to for their ceremony!
It was so beautiful watching them help each into their outfits and prepare for their ceremony. The simplicity of elopements is just the best - no wedding day drama, timeline chaos, or family feuds. With just each other to focus on, they could focus on what really matters…. not the wedding, but the marriage.
