San Diego Boho Beach Elopement

By Jenn

Did you know boho and beach could go so well together? Cory and Josh’s boho beach elopement in San Diego is proof of this! By simply choosing keen details, their special day turned out modish and refined. Neutral colors were featured all throughout. White and beige details were consistent, from the dried pampas and macrame backdrop to the bride’s classic white bouquet. Family and friends celebrated with them on this very special day. However, the happiness in the couple’s faces was paramount. These two were so in love!

From The Photographer

The way the waves crashed into the rocks where Cory and Josh stood for their ceremony felt so powerful! These two are a force. Cory is a Certified Health Coach (RN/MPH) and just by being around her in preparation for her and Josh’s elopement day–she sincerely inspired me in my own self-care routine. She is so passionate about what she does and even gifted me a self-love goodie bag from her brand Salt and Lane. This boho beachside elopement was held with their parents and a couple of close family members. — Joni Bilderback

Just Mauid: An Intimate Tropical Elopement in Maui

By Jenn

Does it get any more romantic than saying your vows in a beach setting, surrounded by the wonder of nature and a cool breeze? Kyra and Noah’s intimate tropical elopement in Maui was exactly like that! Simply Eloped made sure every detail was executed perfectly. From the sweet first look to the heart-melting ceremony and the picturesque shoots, this wedding was a dream! Kyra was classy on her flowing, one-shoulder gown, with intricate floral patches and a tan lining underneath. The groom was looking sharp on his emerald suit too! I love how this couple smartly swayed away from the usual white-black outfits tandem. The day was made even more special with only their closest guests around. A traditional Hawaiian practice, Reverend Kuya blew the conch shell to pronounce the two as now husband and wife. Now, enjoy scrolling through this set by Samantha Takes A Photo and feel the love radiating through the photos!

Cuban Love

By Jenn

Maria and Eugene were lucky to be invited on a trip to Cuba with friends. And because it’s not everyday that you get to set foot in what looked like an Instagram-optimised place, the couple took the chance to do their engagement shoot. With pristine waters and breathtaking scenery, the couple’s photos are exactly what destination shoots are made of! They walked around the beach and took a fun ride to see some good ol’ romantic architecture. Would you believe they never had a real photoshoot? Yet these two are so natural in front of the camera and happily kept their eyes on each other! Whether you’re looking to list potential destinations for your beach wedding or simply looking for some engagement poses, this refreshing Cuban love feat by MS VISION is a must-see!
