Sam and Zach had ditched the idea of a bigger wedding right before Covid took over the world. When they hired me early spring of last year they expressed their vision for a laid back intimate Santa Barbara wedding surrounded just by their closest family. Over the past year, their plans kept getting changed and they must’ve planned about 10 different weddings before finally having their San Diego elopement. Before their San Diego elopement, Sam and Zach got married at the courthouse with just the two of them. Because they had hired vendors for their other wedding plans, they decided to still have a little elopement/vow reading with all their closest family members in San Diego. San Diego is filled with gorgeous elopement locations but Sam found a rare gem of a location for their San Diego elopement. She found this beautiful tree filled park a couple of blocks from their house. Can you believe it?! What a special day they finally got to have! To top off their San Diego elopement day , they enjoyed a chill evening and dinner outside of their home with all their guests.
