Intimate Elopement in San Francisco

Intimate ceremonies are one of my all-time favorite celebrations to capture. Tamara and Andrey’s destination San Francisco elopement was no exception! The two of them had been in a long-distance relationship with Tamara in Russia and Andrey in San Francisco. They chose San Francisco as the perfect location for their intimate nuptials!

On the day of the wedding, we began with early afternoon portraits at the iconic location overlooking Redondo Beach. This picturesque place in San Francisco Bay area offers a variety of epic views and it is not overcrowded - something that is a must especially if the couple is shy to show their love for each other in public. I took extra care to make Tamara and Andrey comfortable in front of the camera.

With all of the excitement for finally being together, paired with gorgeous light and florals, it was a truly memorable day. It’s always really inspiring to see couples choosing to focus on the most important part of a wedding celebration; uniting as one in front of their most treasured loved ones. I’m incredibly honored I was invited to capture this remarkable milestone in their lives! Cheers to Tamara and Andrey!
