Big Sur elopements

malibu + Los angeles  elopements

Joshua Tree elopements are for couples looking to tie the knot against a mystical and magical landscape. The Joshua Tree itself feels ethereal, with its twisted branches thriving in the desert; add in the vastness, the lighting at sunset, and the unearthly rock formations, and you can see why Joshua Tree National Park is the ideal location for an intimate, intention-filled elopement day. Whether couples choose to rent electric dirt bikes to explore the trails—or hop around by car to the park’s different sites!—Joshua Tree is a legendary elopement location.

Big Sur elopements can have two very different magical backdrops. The impressive, towering Redwoods are perfect for a slow morning of getting ready and exploring, while the coast offers breathtaking views at every turn, providing gorgeous vistas for sunset elopement photos. These locations are both easily included in a full Big Sur elopement day. This location feels adventurous without miles of hiking or hard work. There is so much to explore, and the constant swell of the ocean hitting across the rocky coast provides a calming, serene soundtrack for your elopement at Big Sur. Driving along the coast in a vintage car with the windows down and the sun shining to travel from the coastal redwoods to the rocky bluffs for your elopement ceremony is an unforgettable experience. 

Malibu elopements are raw, rugged and full of nature, featuring rocky bluffs and coves, perfect golden hour sunsets, and wildflower fields available within a drive. Any season works for a Malibu elopement due to mild year round temps, but fall and spring are the best due to warmer temps, and that time period is often called “locals’ summer.” Location options are endless when it comes to Malibu elopements, especially if your priorities are stunning views and beaches. There are also areas that are able to handle some more accessibility requests for elderly guests. Couples who choose to elope in Malibu often are looking for something down to earth, yet classy; think surfing before hiking into a wildflower hillside to say your vows!
