Greyhound Rock County Park Elopement » Davenport, California

After scheduling and rescheduling and postponing multiple times over in 2020 and 2021, Devon and Rico finally landed on an intimate wedding plan that perfectly fit their personalities and vision. While I was no longer available for their larger wedding party plans, they wanted to kick off their wedding week with a family only ceremony at the beach. During one of their many drives along Highway 1, Rico and Devon came across Greyhound Rock County Park and were enchanted by the gorgeous cliffs and rocky beach down below. We met up on a warm summer afternoon where Rico and his family first arrived at the parking lot. I followed Rico down to the ocean where he collected some sea water for their ceremony. The family then made the small hike down to the cliffside while Devon and her mom and sister arrived and prepped themselves. Rico’s father officiated their cliffside nuptials while they exchanged personal vows to one another. Rico’s niece and nephew presented them their rings while his brother-in-law brought the sea water for their water ceremony. Afterwards, the families celebrated with some well wishes and hugs before heading off to their taco dinner down the road. Devon and Rico hung back with their family pup and we headed down to the beach for some dreamy sunset portraits. Despite all the changes to their plans, their minimony celebration came together more beautifully than they could have imagined.
