Northern California is such a majestic place to celebrate an elopement or intimate wedding  – there are few places I’ve photographed that are more epic. This Big Sur wedding inspiration was photographed in Elk, which is a small, remote town perfect for those seeking a more quiet and intimate setting for their wedding or elopement. Nata and Braedan were expertly styled by Ginny Au, and Nata’s gown by Emily Riggs Bridal was such a stunning contrast to the cliffs of Northern California.

These photographs are a mixture of film and digital, captured on the Contax 645 and the Canon 5D Mark III.
