Alyssa and Cameron discovered a picturesque cove in Carmel-by-the-sea while enjoying a bike ride together one vacation morning. The pair of early risers loved the quiet still of the beach at dawn, and so when their plans for a wedding in Maui fell away in the wake of the pandemic, the couple knew the Carmel cove would be the perfect place for them to say I-do.

The couple arrived for their intimate beach ceremony just as the sun started to rise, a wave catching their feet as they stood together in the sand for photos. The ceremony was officiated by a dear friend (and local meteorologist!) and was sweet and sincere, the groom often professing how beautiful the bride looked. The pair departed the warming beach to cruise along the Pacific through scenic 17-Mile Drive before heading to brunch in Pebble Beach.
