Coronado Elopement Photographer
Just the two of you, the coast, and someone to document it. In Coronado, that means spots like Coronado Central Beach and Hotel del Coronado.
Eloping isn't the easy way out — it's choosing the day you actually want. Whether it's a sunrise vow exchange at the cliffs or a courthouse ceremony followed by tacos and a coastal drive, I document the whole arc so you don't lose a single quiet moment to a phone camera.
Coronado feels like a small town that happens to have a world-famous beach. The wide, sparkling sand in front of the Hotel del Coronado is some of the prettiest in California, and the island's quiet, tree-lined streets make for a relaxed, classic backdrop.
Local know-how: The bridge backs up at rush hour — budget extra time or take the ferry. Beach ceremonies need a Coronado permit; the flat, wide sand is stroller- and grandparent-friendly.
