Hyatt Carmel Highlands Wedding Film | Emily + JM

, , ,

Emily and JM’s wedding at the scenic Highlands Inn perfectly captured the beauty of the Big Sur coastline. Set against sweeping ocean views, their day was filled with sweet, loving moments, from the way they looked at each other during the vows to their shared laughter throughout the evening. Their Shiba Inu, Elsa, joined them in the ceremony, bringing extra warmth and charm to an already heartfelt day.

The celebration was as lively as it was beautiful, with a fun, party-like atmosphere from start to finish. Coordinated by Plascencia Emily, with florals by Expressions Floral Designs and rentals from Chic Event Rentals, every detail came together seamlessly. Lynn Lewis Photography documented it all, capturing the joy and closeness of each moment.

Emily looked stunning in her Vera Wang gown, styled by Beauty with Cherie, while JM was equally dapper in his suit from The Black Tux. As the sun set, the party kicked into high gear, with Central Coast Entertainment keeping everyone on the dance floor, ending a day that truly felt like one big celebration of love.

Erick and Helen’s intimate elopement at the stunning Alila Ventana property in Big Sur was nothing short of breathtaking. Surrounded by the awe-inspiring beauty of the Big Sur Coast, this heartfelt celebration was a perfect reflection of their love—a day filled with serenity, natural beauty, and profound emotion.

The couple chose to say their vows in a secluded spot, encircled by towering redwoods. As they stood beneath these ancient giants, the sun filtered through the branches, casting a warm, golden glow on their ceremony. It was a truly magical moment, with the natural splendor of Big Sur serving as both witness and backdrop to their union.

The Alila Ventana property, known for its luxurious and serene ambiance, provided the perfect setting for this elopement. With its breathtaking views of the rugged California coastline and the tranquil embrace of the redwood forest, it offered a sanctuary where Erick and Helen could celebrate their love in privacy and peace.

Erick and Helen’s elopement was a reminder that sometimes, the most meaningful moments come in the quiet, unassuming spaces where nature and love converge. Their day was not only a celebration of their commitment but also an homage to the incredible beauty of Big Sur. 🌲🌲

Glen Oaks Big Sur Elopement Film in the Redwoods of Big Sur

, ,

Sun-kissed redwoods bear witness to a tale of love as old as the trees themselves. A memory etched forever amidst the ancient Big Sur forest. 🌲 🫶


There is something innately magical about the ancient redwoods of Big Sur - they stand tall and proud, their bark kissed by the sun and their roots deeply entwined with the earth. They've witnessed centuries pass by, bearing silent testimony to countless stories, and on this special day, they bore witness to a tale of love as timeless as the trees themselves.

This remarkable couple chose to embark on their new journey together amidst these centuries-old redwoods, basking in the soft, radiant glow of the Californian sun. A fitting start for a love story that promised to be as enduring and resilient as the forest itself.

Their story serves as a beautiful reminder that love, much like the redwoods, stands strong and tall, radiating warmth and life. This sun-kissed elopement in the redwoods of Big Sur is a testament to their everlasting love story, a tale that, like the forest, will continue to grow, thrive, and stand the test of time.

Rainy Glen Oaks Big Sur Elopement Film

,

“Love shines brighter than any storm ☔️🌲 This couple braved the elements and said their vows in the stunning redwoods of Big Sur, surrounded by misty rain and the natural beauty of the forest. It was an affirmation not only of their love but also their willingness to embrace life, with all its unpredictability.

The day was a palette of overcast skies and cascading droplets, creating an ethereal stage for their nuptials. The towering redwoods stood as silent, stoic witnesses to their love story, while the rain-drenched surroundings added a touch of raw, elemental beauty. The typical sunny weather that Big Sur is renowned for gave way to a more dramatic, atmospheric setting - which only served to amplify the emotion and romance of their elopement.

Their story is a resounding reminder that love is not just about the sunny days but also the rainy ones. It’s about standing strong in the face of life’s storms and finding beauty and joy in those moments. The couple’s Big Sur elopement film beautifully encapsulates this message, painting a vivid picture of an unforgettable day where love was celebrated in its purest, most powerful form.

It was so sweet to be a part of this wedding, and all the others, that happened during 2020 at a time when film became more valuable to almost everyone. It was an honor to capture these more intimate gatherings so couples could share them with all the loved ones who couldn't make it, and I'm excited for the weddings this year & getting to film couples who waited to throw a party in 2021 🎉
