INTIMATE WEDDINGS
& ELOPEMENTS

SANTA BARBARA. BIG SUR. SAN FRANCISCO

Timeless Moments

Beautifully Curated

Intimate weddings and elopements are all about what truly matters — your love, your story, and the quiet magic of the moment. Without the pressure of a big event, you’re free to be fully present, to feel every word, every glance, every breath.

Whether you choose to say your vows at the quaint Santa Barbara courthouse, beneath the golden light of a Santa Ynez vineyard, or along the cliffs of Big Sur, your day will be crafted with care — meaningful, beautiful, and entirely yours.

HELLO, I’M KELLY

Hi, I’m Kelly — the heart behind Simply Intimate Weddings. For over 15 years, I’ve been capturing love stories that unfold quietly, tenderly, and meaningfully.

I believe there’s something truly powerful in the simplicity of intimate celebrations — where every glance, touch, and vow feels deeply personal. Inspired by nature, emotion, and the quiet beauty of connection, I bring not just my camera, but my heart to every wedding.

Let’s create something that feels like you — honest, beautiful, and unforgettable.
