A Full-Estate Micro Wedding on the Big Sur Cliffs
Jessica & SeanOctober 2022Wind and Sea Estates · Big Sur
Jessica and Sean's micro wedding at Wind and Sea Estates in Big Sur was twelve people on a cliff above the Pacific in October 2022. The morning was slow and close, the gown hanging in a window over the deck, Sean's mother pinning on his boutonniere, and when Jessica came out in her dress, the family who'd driven out to the coast met her with a room full of raised hands. They found a quiet corner of the garden for a first look, then everyone gathered on the clifftop deck, where Sean's father stood in as officiant and married them with the fog and the open water behind him.

Morning
Getting Ready at the Wind and Sea Estate
Jessica's gown, a clean, backless slip with a row of covered buttons, hung in a window over the deck, the Big Sur pines just outside the glass. Downstairs, Sean's mother pinned a small white boutonniere to his navy suit while he laughed. Jessica got into the dress with her people close by, and when she came out to meet the family who'd made the drive, the whole room threw their hands up.
Before the day gathered, the two of them slipped down to a quiet stretch of the garden, coastal scrub, a curving rail, the ocean somewhere below the fog. Jessica came around with her white-and-green bouquet, Sean turned, and they had a few minutes that were only theirs.
Afternoon
Married on the Big Sur Cliff. Full Estate, His Father Officiating
The ceremony was out on the deck at the edge of the property, a wood platform with cable railings and nothing beyond it but the grey, open Pacific. A handful of benches on the lawn held the twelve guests, two of them young nephews. Jessica walked in with her father to "Marry Me, Archie" by Alvvays; Sean's father, Dave, stood as their officiant, reading from a black folder with the water at his back.
