Some love stories begin with a first date. J and B’s started in sixth grade. After years of growing up together, moving from Michigan to Los Angeles, traveling the world, and building a life side by side, they chose an intimate Big Sur California elopement to celebrate the next chapter of their story.

There’s something magical about a Trinidad, California, sunrise elopement, and A + C’s October adventure perfectly captured it. From misty cliffs to soft morning light, this intimate coastal celebration was everything we could have hoped for — and more.
