San Clemente California Elopement

Don’t mind me, I’m just going to close my eyes and wish I was back in San Clemente with Sophie and Brian for their California Elopement! I seriously cannot get over how freaking beautiful this beach was. The bluffs are so unique and stunning and watching surfers take on all these big waves – it was just GORGEOUS.

But… NOT AS GORGEOUS AS SOPHIE AND BRIAN, HELLO!! The love they have for each other is seriously like Steve And Peggy’s (Captain America, anyone?) unbreakable love. Their laughs were infectious. The way they softly touched each other. Seriously, everything about these two is just something right out of a romantic film.

Brian and Sophie’s Review

“OMG I had such an amazing experience working with Samantha Burke! She is super responsive, friendly and easy to get along with. She came early to scout the location and make sure everything was ready for my husband and I when we got there. She took care of everything from bouquet to carrying the dress around to covering me up when I got changed. I instantly felt comfortable with her like we knew each other for years. On top of that, all her feedback and compliments really gave me the confidence boost I needed to shine. She helps come up with poses which was really helpful and there are times she just wants to us be ourselves and have fun for some candid photos which is good too! I was just so stunned when I received her photos, she did such a great job and captured our love perfectly. I’ve actually worked with many other photographers but Samantha Burke’s photos showed more than just 2 people but she was able to capture an emotion and make it into art. I highly recommend her services to anyone! Love her so much!”

Would You Elope in San Clemente California?

This beach was nearly empty on a random Wednesday Night in October, which means we had the whole beach to use for Sophie and Brian’s portraits! Who wouldn’t want a whole beach nearly to themselves, right?!

The landscape is so unique and so different. You basically get the best of both worlds here! You get the beach, the ocean, the mountains, the bluffs, the sunshine – you seriously get it all in San Clemente!

Not to mention, some delicious restaurants to enjoy a meal after you say your vows, nearby hiking trails that are amazing, the beautiful Casa Romantica Cultural Center, and soooo much more!

If these images don’t convince you that you NEED to elope in this location… I DON’T KNOW WHAT WILL!!!!
