Getting the opportunity to photograph intimate elopements is one of my new favorite things. This Sunset Cliffs elopement did not disappoint! I met Esther and James at the cliffs on an overcast weekday morning, where we almost had the whole area to ourselves. After sharing beautiful vows in front of two of their close friends, we walked around my favorite Sunset Cliffs location for some pretty portraits. We couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather and conditions for this particular area. A highlight was a guest appearance by their sweet dog, who was absolutely one of the most well-behaved dogs that I have ever photographed!

Enjoy highlights from this Sunset Cliffs elopement, shot on Kodak Portra 400 film.
