The story
the couple knew they wanted to have a destination elopement somewhere in states. They googled "most beautiful locations in the US" and promptly bought tickets to Point Reyes, CA. This happens to be one of our favorite places to shoot so we were extremely excited when they reached out to us. one partner is a talented florist and she put her skills to use making the bouquet, boutonniere, and floral crown. It was a fun and romantic day exploring and we made it out to the Point Reyes Shipwreck right at sunset - we couldn't be happier about the photos we created together.
