Big Sur Luxury Spa Elopement and Beach Adventure $7,500

Big Sur Luxury Spa Elopement and Beach Adventure

  • Forest
  • Coastal
  • Waterfalls

Your wedding day begins with pure indulgence — a private morning at the world-class Big Sur Spa, just the two of you soaking in the kind of relaxation that feels both grounding and luxurious. Imagine unwinding in the Meadow Pool, infinity hot tub, or tucked away in a private cabana as the ocean stretches out before you and redwoods rise behind you. This rare, tranquil space becomes the setting for your first intimate portraits — editorial in style yet deeply real, capturing you at ease before the adventure ahead.

After your spa retreat, I’ll meet you at your resort suite where we’ll capture the joyful anticipation of getting ready. Sip champagne, nibble on truffles, put on your favorite playlist, and let the energy of the day settle in. I’ll document those small but powerful in-between moments: a glance in the mirror, the lacing of shoes, the soft laughter that marks the shift from calm to excitement.

Together we’ll venture along the rugged Big Sur coastline, making an iconic stop at Bixby Bridge before continuing to Garrapata State Park. Here, with the Pacific crashing below and winds carrying your vows into the wild, you’ll exchange promises either privately in a hidden cove or with your closest loved ones gathered nearby. As the sun begins to dip, we’ll wander through trails and overlooks, chasing golden light across the cliffs while creating portraits that balance sweeping grandeur with quiet intimacy.

As twilight settles, your photography coverage ends, but your wedding day does not — it transforms. Return to your luxury resort for a romantic dinner for two, or indulge in some fine dining with your guests. From spa serenity to windswept vows to a candlelit evening, this is a wedding experience where luxury and adventure intertwine seamlessly, giving you a day that feels both wildly free and effortlessly elegant.
