Wedding Timeline
Arrival at Alila Ventana
Check into your suite tucked within the redwoods. Sip on coffee, breathe in the coastal air, and settle into the rhythm of the day.
Hair & Makeup Begins
Your beauty team arrives. Soft curls, flushed cheeks, a dewy glow, crafted with time and care, not rush.
Photographer Arrives
Your photographer begins capturing the day's quiet details: the rings, vow books, heirlooms, and handwritten notes.
Getting Ready Portraits
Final touches and first looks—whether with your partner or just the mirror. Wrapped in robe or veil, these are the still moments before the story unfolds.
Couples Portraits at Alila
Golden light filters through the trees as you roam the grounds of Alila Ventana, capturing portraits that feel cinematic and timeless.
Drive to Garrapata State Park
Windows down. Playlist on. The Pacific shimmers to your left as you wind down Highway 1 to the ceremony site.
Ceremony at Garrapata State Park
Just the two of you (and maybe a few cherished guests). Vows exchanged as the cliffs meet the sea, waves crashing below.
Post-Ceremony Portraits
That just-married glow, caught in motion along the bluffs. Wind in your veil. Laughter in your eyes.
Drive to Beach Picnic
A quiet cove awaits. You arrive just as the sky begins its descent into dusk.
Intimate Picnic on the Beach
Champagne is poured. A curated charcuterie board laid across linen and driftwood. Toes in the sand, hearts full.
Sunset Portraits
The sky turns gold, then pink, then indigo. You hold each other under the last light, soaking it all in.
Wrap & Return
The stars begin to show. You head back to Alila, married, sun-kissed, and completely in love!
