Carmel Beach Wedding Photography

Intimate Sunset Wedding in Carmel

I received a phone call from Jessica, who wanted us to help her work out the plans for their very intimate wedding in Carmel. They loved the outdoors and had spent many happy weekends hiking the Carmel and Big Sur trails with their beloved dog. They thought that having a low-key pop-up wedding near the beach would be a very comfortable experience for them. They started looking around at Carmel, California wedding packages and were having a hard time finding everything they wanted and still keeping within their budget.

San Francisco City Hall is TRENDING for Intimate Weddings

San Francisco has so many iconic spots, and I'm sure you've noticed them over the years on popular sitcoms and in famous movies. One of the reasons that San Francisco is such a popular destination for weddings and elopements, is that many people feel like they already know us, having grown up with our city as the backdrop on their big and small screens!

SF City Hall Wedding on the Mayor's Balcony

$1,000 Wedding Venue: The Mayor’s Balcony – SF City Hall

Choosing a wedding venue is an extremely daunting task, especially if you're on a budget. As a wedding photographer and planner, I have seen the best and worst of venues. From lavish ballrooms to rustic barns, I have been in charge of planning and photographing weddings in many different types of venues. Many couples can't afford typical luxury wedding venues which start at $20k per event, but don't worry - there are affordable wedding venues that allow you to have everything you need for a beautiful event without breaking the bank!
