A Love 10 Years in the Making
After ten years together, Lance and Nicole chose to begin their next chapter in a way that felt perfectly true to them — a quiet, heartfelt Oceanpoint Ranch elopement on a Saturday morning, surrounded by the people who mean the most to them. This Oceanpoint Ranch elopement was a dream come true, reflecting their love and commitment.
The Magic of Oceanpoint Ranch
Set just off the windswept coast of Cambria, Oceanpoint Ranch offers a peaceful, woodsy retreat where the ocean breeze meets piney forest paths. It’s a place that feels both grounded and expansive — a fitting backdrop for a couple whose love has already weathered a decade of life together.
The serene atmosphere made their Oceanpoint Ranch elopement even more special, as it provided a unique setting for their vows.
An Intimate Ceremony with Family

Their morning ceremony took place on the ranch lawn, where soft light filtered through the trees and the only sound was the ocean in the distance and the occasional laughter of their children. It was intimate, genuine, and deeply moving — exactly what an elopement should be.
This taco bar reception was a delightful extension of their Oceanpoint Ranch elopement, bringing everyone together to celebrate.
Lance and Nicole were joined by their families and children, creating a sense of warmth and unity throughout the day. Watching them exchange vows in front of their kids added a beautiful depth to the moment — a true celebration not just of marriage, but of family.

Exploring the Ranch for Photos

A Wedding Day Full of Meaning
Every detail of the day reflected who Lance and Nicole are: grounded, loving, and full of quiet joy. Elopements like this are such a reminder that weddings don’t have to be big to be powerful.
