OMG, where do I even start? M & L were THE BEST! When I first met them, we just clicked. It was one of those situations where I had felt like we had been friends for years. Their San Diego elopement was the cutest and was full of so much genuine love and happiness. My cheeks literally hurt from all of the smiling and from crying happy tears for the two of them! Seeing these two and how much love they have for one another was unreal and such a beautiful experience!



M & L's Intimate Cliffside San Diego Elopement
M & L first came together in robes for their first looks, It was just the two of them cliffside for their private moment together to see the dresses and take in the beauty of each other and their surroundings. They were both so emotional, and it was such a raw and beautiful moment to capture! Their ceremony was simple and officiated, but their personal vows were one for the books. Seeing two people who are so in love and so happy celebrating their love was amazing. After their intimate ceremony, they popped some champagne, hiked and climbed down the cliffs, and we got some cool drone shots! They sat on the side of the cliff sipping champagne, watching the sunset, laughing, and taking in the fact that they were married! It was a very short elopement - one that was less then two hours but felt like it should have been a whole day! M & L were the sweetest and so fun to hang out with! They weren't afraid to get dirty - they got in the water, got their dresses messy and truly enjoyed it! Leaving was like leavings BFF's. Sharing this day with them was such an honor and I was so happy to be a part of their intimate San Diego elopement!


Sweet Words From M & L
"Chelsea is not only an amazing photographer, but a great person! My wife and I eloped in San Diego and had a very intimate ceremony. Chelsea captured every moment beautifully. The drone shots at Sunset Cliffs were unbelievable! Not only were the photos stunning, but she also made us feel honored as an LGBT couple and made our day even more special. Chelsea is a talented, kind soul and we couldn’t be happier with our photos!"
