Hannah and Joe - A Hacienda Elopement and Big Sur Sparkler Sunset

Hannah and Joe’s romantic elopement at De Tierra Events was simply perfect. Located in the Pastures of Heaven, this boutique venue and lodge is both vintage and modern, with old Spanish architecture mixed with bright colorful textiles. Ariele Chapman is an Engaged Life favorite and was the couple’s photographer on their wedding day.

The bride wore an incredible Pronovias gown with long lace sleeves and a dynamite train. She worked with Vibe Florals on a bouquet and arch installation with bright pink, dusty yellow and leafy greenery. After she finished getting ready, she met her groom and they exchanged letters, holding hands in the doorway that separated them as they tearfully read each others words.

A sweet ceremony, two glasses of champagne and one adorable wedding cake later, these two were happily dancing as newlyweds in the venue’s courtyard before heading to Big Sur for sunset photos. All we’ve got to say about their adventurous trip to the coast is wow. The colors of the ocean, the energy of the waves crashing along the shore and the iconic misty Big Sur vibes make these photos look alive. These two danced as they looked out at Bixby Creek Bridge before heading down to the beach to light sparklers and dance in the sand.

Welcome to Married Life Hannah and Joe! We wish you guys a lifetime of happiness and so much love. XOXO
