Romantic Vow Renewal in Foggy Big Sur | Garrapata State Park
A dreamy Big Sur vow renewal at Garrapata, surrounded by wildflowers, coastal cliffs, and foggy skies. Perfect moody inspiration for a California coast elopement.
Please note: a photography permit is required to work in California State Parks.
On this quiet evening at Garrapata State Park, the marine layer rolled in just in time for a deeply personal vow renewal. What could have been a gloomy sky transformed into a soft, romantic backdrop. Add in the golden wildflowers lining the trails, the crashing waves below, and the hills disappearing into the fog, and it was pure California coastal magic.
At just 30 years old, Chelsea and Sean are celebrating their 10 year anniversary. It’s an incredible milestone for them for personal growth, growth in marriage, and facing all of the transitions of military life over the years, hand-in-hand. I was honored when Chelsea reached out to photograph this intimate vow renewal and wish them many more decades of fulfilling marriage!
Why Garrapata is Perfect for Vow Renewals
Big Sur is known for its epic views but Garrapata State Park offers an intimate feel while still being incredibly scenic. If you’re located in the Monterey or Carmel area, it’s also very accessible.
