When Lydia came to The Cottage and met me in person, I knew I was going to love photographing her and John’s Carmel elopement on the beach! The three of us are very similar as people- organic and calm, preferring to keep things simple and natural. I guess you could call us all old souls! Read on for this sweet elopement.
Carmel Elopement Wedding Photographer
Lydia’s a local business owners here in the peninsula and she and John have been together for twelve years! We photographed their Carmel elopement on the beach at Carmel Meadows. Carmel Meadows is a nickname for the portion of Carmel River State Beach next to the Carmel Meadows neighborhood. It tends to be less crowded than nearby Monastery Beach and the main Carmel River Beach, which was perfect for Lydia and John and their private elopement.
Intimate occasions like this Carmel elopement on the beach are such an honor to witness and photograph, especially when it really is just you, the couple, their parents, and the officiant! Lydia wore this stunning BHLDN gown and had a big set of flowers for her bouquet. I loved the subtle details of the lace on the sleeves and skirt. It was all really classic and elegant but still in nature and organic, and the imagery reflects all those same qualities! Their wedding rings were so timeless and looked beautiful nestled in the flower petals of the bouquet. I loved the pinks, purples, and whites! It adds this dainty touch, don’t you think?
