Beautiful fall elopement in San Francisco

Eloping is the ideal concept for a small, flexible, and emotional gathering


After two years of trying to make sense of a global pandemic and living with (lots) ups and downs, I am elated to share new work. PJ and Lois chose to have a beautiful elopement in San Francisco in the fall of 2021.

They decided to invite only a few people they wanted that day. Starting the day early is a perfect example of using your time on your elopement: they eloped in the morning and sailed in the San Francisco Bay at sunset. A freaking great mix of formality and simplicity.

The ceremony took place at the brilliant Cavallo Point Lodge in Sausalito. There, you will enjoy breathtaking views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. Marin Headlands, one of my favorite locations in Northern California, is accessible after a short drive.
