An Intimate Micro Coastal Wedding in The Mendocino Headlands

Manny and Stephanie's intimate micro wedding in the Mendocino Headlands was one to remember! The free adventurous spirit made the day so fun and the coast was BEAUTIFUL! I absolutely loved the intimacy of this day as well. It was a small day celebrated with just their closest loved ones, including their two dogs. Their color scheme was such a dream with the pinks, colorful aesthetic, and the spring vibes were perfect for an April elopement or micro wedding by the coast! All in all, this micro wedding was perfect.

Stephanie & Manny's Intimate Coastal Micro Wedding

We started the day with some of the PRETTIEST details! With the chamomile in the champagne, pretty pink flowers, some cute bouquet photos, and her pink bridesmaid dresses hanging with her wedding dress. I loved Stephanie's wedding details so much. She did a fantastic job putting her color schemes together, and her florist's art made her vision come to life! Stephanie's style and attention to detail was impeccable. I especially loved the moments after Manny and Stephanie's first look. They walked around the cliffs and explored the Mendocino Headland views together and witnessed the magic of the earth before their ceremony. It was truly an amazing time spent with each other! Their ceremony was amazing in itself. It was at Cypress Grove, which has the prettiest view of the coast surrounded by cypress trees. It allows so much privacy for an intimate ceremony. It's truly the best place to have a ceremony in the headlands if you don't have a space or venue!

After the ceremony, we headed to MacCallum House which was perfect for their intimate dinner. They have such delicious food, tasty appetizers, and plenty of drinks to choose from. The florist worked her magic with the wooden walls and the pops of color to make the space magical! After dinner, we ventured out for sunset. I ended up scouting this private spot just 3 minutes from their venue for this. They exchanged the sweetest and most heartfelt vows on the cliffside. They also had a private first dance as husband and wife here too, surrounded by the ocean, salty air, purple flowers, and the most gorgeous and romantic sunset. We then took more photos in the headlands and headed back to MacCallum House! The rest of the night was a carefree one. With speeches, cake cutting, fun drinks and lots of laughs! I truly had so much fun capturing this wedding for Stephanie and Manny. It was one of my favorite micro weddings!

SWEET WORDS FROM STEPHANIE:
