WEDDING: Elopement Photos at Sunset Cliffs

Not everyone dreams of an elaborate wedding.  Some couples just walk down to the beach, find a perfect outlook and get married.  Either way is great, but regardless of your style, great photos are a must!

Jessica & Matthew chose the simple route.  A few close family members, a sweet little wedding bouquet and yours truly.
