What began as the simplest elopement ~ Janice+Phil (and myself + officiant Paul Howell), grew into a beautiful, intimate ceremony on the cliffs in Shell Beach! As it turns out, there was a guest of honor at the wedding with a front row seat (Janice is expecting!)
When we met a few weeks before the ceremony for breakfast at the Del Monte Cafe (one of Phil’s favorite spots), I discovered that they would be inviting a few highly esteemed guests rather than doing a simple elopement. In the end, Janice +Phil had a posse; no one in their crew wanted to miss the show. It was a beautiful ceremony at Ebb Tide Park in Shell Beach, California. The guests gathered on the cliff overlooking much of Avila, Shell & Pismo, while Janice and the ladies put on their finishing touches at the Dolphin Bay Resort in a room overlooking the ocean. Every little thing was beautiful & these photos are clear proof of this fact…proof that will someday be viewed by Janice & Phil’s new addition!
Congratulations to these two & to their families. And thanks to everyone who takes the time to enjoy their photos!!
Awesome pictures, blake! Thanks for capturing my sister’s wedding so beautifully 🙂
