SAN LUIS OBISPO WEDDING & MICRO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER | CENTRAL COAST

A micro wedding is a small, intimate celebration, usually with 10–50 guests, designed for a deeply personal and meaningful experience. An elopement is even more private—often just the couple and a few close witnesses—focusing on your connection and the joy of the moment, without the stress of a traditional wedding crowd.

The Central Coast offers breathtaking scenery—from golden beaches and rugged cliffs to rolling vineyards and charming small-town venues—perfect for intimate weddings and elopements. With its natural beauty, you can create a celebration that feels personal, authentic, and uniquely yours, without needing elaborate décor. Smaller guest lists also allow you to fully enjoy the location and focus on genuine connection and meaningful moments.

We offer flexible by-the-hour photography services tailored to fit your day, whether it’s a quick elopement or a longer micro wedding celebration. Custom full-day packages are also available for couples who want comprehensive coverage.
