Amalfi Coast has the most stunning ocean view. I love the colors and the vibe that place offers. Olivia and Grant wanted to do an elopement and we decided to base the intimate celebration based on the Amalfi Coast. We found a spot in the city of Palos Verdes, California that resembled the coast. The windy weather made it even more romantic as the winds blew her dress making a dramatic effect. Everything on that day was so elegant and classy. I loved the sunset that shone on the florals which made it look so ethereal.

I met Olivia back in college when she was finishing up her PhD/doctorate’s degree. At the time, she hasn’t met Grant yet so I didn’t meet him until after this day. They were the cutest couple who were very relaxed and loved going with the flow. There were multiple obstacles that happened on that day, but they were calm and composed throughout the whole event. Elopements are the best for couples who want to celebrate their love together without the stress of having many guests.
