Craggy Gardens Elopement

Elopements Weddings

Canyon by Glded

These two crazy in love, adventure loving humans made their elopement day exactly how they wanted it and if the photos are any indication, they made the right call. One of the best pieces of advice we can give our couples is to make sure their day is what they want it to be. Not what someone else wants it to be. That’s exactly what Shannon + Alex did with their Craggy Gardens elopement. Starting their day out with little picnic they set up over on the picnic side at Craggy Gardens. Afterwards, we hiked up on the pinnacle side and met the officiant. It was incredible. It was just Shannon, Alex, the officiant and myself up on there on a beautiful little opening that overlooked the mountains. And as they began exchanging their vows, the most beautiful light began to wrap itself around the the mountains and the words Shannon + Alex were sharing with each other.

Hope these make you feel all the feels.

Thanks! This was an early spring elopement, so the time when the light was good then, wouldn’t apply to a summer shoot up there. The first portion of the shoot was probably 3.5 hours before sunset and the remainder of it was closer to sunset and just a little after. This time of year, I’d aim for 6:30 and shoot until 8:30 or a little after 🙂

Hi, I am a bride who is struggling to find the right location. I saw your pictures and needed to reach out. Can you please tell me how to get to this location?
Thank you!

It’s an easy hike that takes about 15 min. It can be very very crowded this time of year, especially on weekends, just a heads up 🙂
