I had the absolute pleasure of capturing Nicole and Josh’s vow renewal elopement in the amazing Big Sur, California. This wasn’t just any vow renewal, it was a one-of-a-kind celebration, on the edge of a cliff, overlooking the stunning coastline. This special day was filled with emotions, as they read their commitment to each other. I couldn’t be happier that I got the chance to capture all of it so they can look back and cherish this memory for many years to come!

Stunning Vow Renewal Elopement in Big Sur

The location was everything! Big Sur, with its stunning mountains, tranquil waters, and lush greenery, offered a unique and beautiful backdrop for such a special day. It’s a special place that truly speaks to Nicole and Josh. They’ve been together for 10 wonderful years and decided to plan a trip around their vow renewal. How beautiful is that?! Choosing a location that resonates with the couple is really important in any elopement. In this case, the coast has a special place in their hearts. Nicole’s father lives not far from there, which adds an even deeper connection to this spot.

This was a time for just the two of them. They left their son Cade at home to have some much-needed alone time as a couple. The focus of this day was on the images and sharing their vows in a place that was so incredibly beautiful and magical. I mean, sharing your vows on a cliff in Big Sur? Talk about a memorable moment! The entire day was absolutely magical. The sun was shining, the waves were gently crashing against the rocks below, and the love between Nicole and Josh was palpable. You could just feel it in the air!
