Crossing the Bridge to Love

There’s a moment I love most in Big Sur — that first step across the bridge. The redwoods rise around you, the river hums softly below, and the light dances through the trees like a blessing. Each time I cross that bridge to officiate a wedding, I feel the same quiet thrill — the sense that a couple is about to take their next step forward into a deeper commitment to love.

Big Sur has a way of holding people in its magical energy. The air feels alive, the trees stand ancient and steady, and the cliffs and ocean beyond whisper stories that have lasted lifetimes. When couples choose to marry here, it isn’t just about the location — it’s about entering a heart-filled space, together.

Eloping in Big Sur

Eloping in Big Sur isn’t about doing less — it’s about doing what matters most. Two hearts, one promise, surrounded by the most breathtaking beauty nature has to offer.

Picture crossing a rustic bridge at Glen Oaks, the light filtering through branches overhead, and your beloved waiting on the other side. The forest becomes your cathedral, the wind your music, and the trees your witnesses.

Each ceremony I create here is different, because each couple brings their own rhythm, story, and spirit — but every one of them carries the same essence: a crossing into love.

Partnering with Rebecca Stark Photography

I’m so grateful to collaborate with my dear friend and creative partner, Rebecca Stark Photography. Together, we offer elopement packages that blend soulful ceremony and stunning imagery.

Rebecca has that rare gift — the ability to see the heart of a moment. She captures laughter in motion, tears of joy, and those tiny in-between seconds where love is most visible. Her lens doesn’t just document the day; it tells the story of the feeling itself.

Our partnership is about more than convenience — it’s about shared values: beauty, authenticity, and reverence for the natural world. Together, we make it easy for couples to relax, be present, and let the forest (and love) do the rest.
