An Adventurous and Intimate Elopement in San Francisco


Marianna and Cade's intimate elopement in San Francisco was filled with so much adventure and even more important, so much love! Marianne and Cade are from Montana, and they came all the way to San Francisco to elope by the coast. Cade's family is also from Montana and came to celebrate the couple, as did Marianne's parents who came all the way from Canada! It was truly such a dreamy day and everyone was so happy to be there and celebrate Marianne and Cade's love and witness it become forever!

An Intimate elopement at Golden Gate Park and Dreamy Sunset views at Fort Funston


We started the day at Golden Gate Park in the moon viewing garden. Golden Gate Park is such a great option when choosing to have an intimate wedding or elopement in San Francisco! It offers a beautiful garden, redwoods, lush greenery, and endless backdrops for your portraits and family photos. Plus, with being in San Francisco you can head over to the beach afterward and get some epic cliff views with your lover! Marianne and Cade did this exact thing and after their ceremony, we headed over to Fort Funston to watch the sunset! They started off with their own picnic with Mcdonald's! Afterward, we checked out the cliffside views and headed down to the beach, and had fun in the water! Marianne definitely wasn't afraid to get her dress dirty, she definitely was there to create some memories, and I so love that!


Your elopement gallery can be so diverse with several different feels and backdrops! If you want both a forest vibe, gardens, or coastal vibes, we can totally do all three just like this couple did! I absolutely love adventurous couples and capturing adventurous elopements and especially capturing those true emotions and feelings of the day.
