Rebecca and Mike love the outdoors so choosing Point Reyes National Seashore for their intimate wedding made perfect sense. The day began with a heartwarming first look under the enchanting Cypress Tree Tunnel, setting the tone for the day's festivities. As the couple shared this intimate moment, their anticipation and excitement were palpable, a testament to the love they share.
We headed over towards Chimney Rock where the rest of their family was already setting up for their ceremony. Despite the sunny April weather, strong coastal winds added an element of unpredictability to the setup. Rebecca and Mike honored tradition by signing their ketubah and partaking in the time-honored Jewish custom of breaking a plate. It was a poignant moment, and it beautifully represented the merging of two families. With the Pacific Ocean behind them, the couple stood before their closest family members and exchanged heartfelt vows. The pristine surroundings and the sound of crashing waves provided a naturally romantic backdrop as they made their promises to one another. The love and devotion shared between Rebecca and Mike were evident in every word spoken and every glance exchanged. Following the ceremony, Rebecca and Mike shared tender goodbyes with their families, knowing they would reunite later for a celebratory dinner. Their decision to keep the wedding small allowed for a truly intimate experience, where their love was at the forefront, unobstructed by the fuss and frills of a larger celebration.
Rebecca and Mike ventured over to Chimney Rock for post-ceremony portraits. The rugged cliffs, the salty sea breeze, and the endless ocean views provided an ideal backdrop for capturing the raw beauty of their love and the enchantment of their special day. Before the afternoon wrapped up, Rebecca and Mike headed over to the Lighthouse where they did a quick outfit change, opting for bicycling attire. With a nod to their shared passion for cycling, the couple embarked on a unique adventure, symbolizing their journey as a newlywed couple. They celebrated their nuptials with an exhilarating ride, bringing an extra dose of joy and excitement to their special day. Rebecca and Mike's wedding day was a testament to love, tradition, and the beauty of simplicity.
