Getting to photograph my first elopement at Sunset Cliffs was a dream — even with the cold and rain.
As an Orange County wedding photographer, I’ve always admired the dramatic coastline and soft light this location is known for. So when I had the chance to be part of this intimate Sunset Cliffs elopement, I was beyond excited. The weather had its own plans that day — gray skies, chilly air, and a steady mist — but honestly, it made everything feel even more romantic.
The couple embraced the elements fully. Wrapped in each other, surrounded by the sounds of the ocean, they said their vows as if no one else existed. It felt raw, real, and incredibly special. These are the kinds of moments I live for as a wedding photographer — the unplanned, heartfelt, beautifully imperfect ones.
If you’re planning something similar and looking for a Sunset Cliffs elopement photographer who values storytelling, emotion, and connection over everything else — I’d love to connect. Rain or shine, there’s something unforgettable about saying “I do” with the ocean at your feet.
