From the Redwoods to the Beaches, a California Dream Elopement!

Creating the Magic of Your California Elopement with Morgan Alanna Photography!

California elopements are a vibe y’all! Picture this: a breathtaking couple, hand-in-hand, running along the warm sand, as the fog plays with the sun casting a warm glow on their faces. Just an hour after they eloped amongst the coastal redwoods! It's a moment of pure joy and love, captured forever. This is what an elopement with me, Morgan Alanna, looks like…if we can let it happen. And let me tell you, this couple let it happen!

Let Me Help You Unleash Your Creativity

Feel stuck in a Pinterest loop or endless Insta scroll, looking at the same inspiration, over, and over, and over again? You’re not alone! When it comes to capturing these magical moments, creativity is key, and also kinda my jam. From utilizing film and experimenting with angles and perspectives, my approach adds a cinematic and timeless touch to your photos, making your day a truly once in a lifetime moment. My mantra has been, “Don’t just pin the pin. Be the pin!” This is my way of saying, let’s break all the molds and have fun creating something uniquely you. Let’s make art!

Capturing Your Love the Classic Way…Let's Have Fun Together

Who says photography must be serious and posed? Let's break free from the traditional and have a blast capturing your elopement! I believe that the best photographs come from genuine moments filled with laughter, joy, spontaneity…but how about a few rolls of film LOL

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but film cameras and photography have had a been in a bit of renaissance, and I’m here for it. I started my photography journey with a film camera, but moved into digital as the demand for my work has grown. I have since inherited my dad’s old Minolta, and I am getting back in touch with the old, cinematic vibes of the film era gone by! Long story short, I will always try to convince you to add a few rolls of film!

I mean how dreamy are the images below?

PS - you get the digital scan of the film. I promise you won’t be bothered with clunky negatives!

The Significance of Booking a Photographer Who Shares Whole Galleries With You

I believe in the power of storytelling through the lens. I understand that your special moments are not just a single snapshot; they are a tapestry of emotions, candid interactions, and memories. All of these moments are important to you, not just the ones the photographer thinks are perfect. That's why I emphasize the importance of booking a photographer who shares whole galleries with you!

Gone are the days of choosing a photographer solely based on a few carefully curated images. I believe that clients deserve complete transparency and confidence in their photographer's skills, artistic vision, and ability to capture their unique narrative. By sharing whole galleries, I ensure that you have a comprehensive view of my work, enabling you to make an informed decision and forge a genuine connection.

In living out this philosophy, please enjoy this beautiful Redwoods to the Beeches, California Dream Elopement! And thank you to the couple who gave me their permission to share their full gallery with you!
