Today on the blog, I am SO excited to showcase these two beautiful souls’ backyard intimate elopement. These two wanted to elope in their beautiful tropical backyard in sunny San Diego. It was nothing short of a perfect evening with just them two and the support of their very best friends over facetime. Their intimate elopement was authentic and true to them, starting from getting ready together, a homemade DIY wooden triangle arch, a DIY wedding bouquet put together from Trader Joe’s flowers, and a colorful, boho rug from OfferUp bought an hour before their unique wedding ceremony. Their backyard is seriously the most beautiful, lush tropical jungle, and made for swoon-worthy wedding vibes (as someone who lived in Hawaii and loved it— I am SO here for tropical vibes alwayyyys).
After their ceremony, they popped a bottle of rose, enjoyed a warm, San Diego sunset, and danced around. Does it get more perfect than that?!
I love that they got ready together, just as they always do.
Putting together her homemade DIY wedding bouquet from Trader Joe’s flowers— MAN, their flowers do not disappoint :’)
They wanted their best friends to be a part of their day even from a distance, so they set-up their FaceTime and were able to incorporate them!
After the ceremony, they popped open a bottle of rose to celebrate being newly weds— my kind of people <3
As she started dancing around, her pup had to make his grand appearance (ISN’T HE THE CUTEST?!)
If you are on the fence about eloping in your backyard, I hope this convinces you otherwise ;)
I am seriously so in love with documenting elopements and intimate weddings, and so blessed by the couples who invite me in to share in their joy and capture their day. The focus isn’t at all about what any one else wants, but two people in love committing themselves in such a special way.
Congratulations you two beautiful humans on the beginning of one heck of beautiful marriage together!
