Alyssa and Colin’s intimate Pebble Beach wedding at the Church in the Forest wove together traditional and modern wedding elements to create their perfect, stress-free day. With the arrival of their second child only a few months away, they decided to forego a large event and focus their efforts on a micro wedding with only immediate family, in a beautiful seaside forest setting outside Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Weddings with kids are fun and you never know quite what to expect, like on this day for example when their son was so overwhelmed with emotion that he got right up there with mum and dad during the exchanging of vows. Too cute. After their intimate church ceremony, a whole lot of hugs, and photos with the family, we set off to explore some of the beautiful Carmel coastline and take photos making the most of the beautiful day.
