Your day begins before the rest of the coast has even stirred. At sunrise, you’ll slip into the ocean for a private surf session at Big Creek Beach, when the beach is quiet, the air is crisp, and the golden light begins to break through the fog. With waves crashing against the cliffs and the iconic rock formations surrounding you, it’s an exhilarating, playful way to start your wedding day, just the two of you laughing, splashing, and savoring the magic of an empty shoreline.
After drying off and warming up, you’ll have the morning to rest and recharge before getting ready. I’ll capture the small, meaningful moments, from slipping into attire to hand-writing your vows, before we head back out for your ceremony. As the sun lowers toward the horizon, you’ll exchange vows right on the sand at Shark Fin Cove, with the Pacific waves behind you and the cliffs glowing in soft evening light. This secluded, rugged backdrop sets the stage for vows that feel wild, intimate, and unforgettable.
To close the day, you’ll celebrate with dinner at the iconic Davenport Roadhouse known for its fresh local food and friendly neighborhood atmosphere. If it’s a Thursday or Friday evening you can enjoy Live Music, otherwise take it to go and end with a moonlit meal at Bonny Dune Beach. You’ll savor your first evening as newlyweds with a setting as unforgettable as the day itself.
This is a day designed for couples who want to weave adventure and intimacy together, from saltwater and surf to vows on the shoreline, and finally, a dinner that feels straight out of a fairytale.
