Arcadia Beach Micro Wedding

Arcadia Beach is a frequent feature in my blogs due to its raw natural beauty and that it has far less visitors than many beaches in the area. L and C opted for a beach micro wedding to celebrate their love in a more intimate setting. Their desire to exchange private vows and the peaceful appeal of Star Gazer Inn, where they chose to stay and create lasting memories together, inspired their choice of this location.

L and C’s Intimate Beach Micro Wedding

L and C’s wedding day began at their cozy vacation rental, where they shared a first look at the melody of one of their favorite songs. They also did some adorable portraits with their pups. Later, they exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony on Arcadia Beach. Post-ceremony, they adored moments with their loved ones. As the evening unfolded, they explored the beach, soaking in the beauty of the coastal sunset—a perfect conclusion to their fantastic day made even more special by the matching rings worn by all the women in attendance.

“Mattie and Gunnar are absolutely amazing! Mattie truly goes above & beyond! We hired Before Our Eyes Photography to capture our wedding day. Right away, she was very easy to work with, personable, flexible, and incredibly organized! She helped us understand the rules for beach ceremonies and what to expect, which saved us from receiving fines. On our wedding day, she texted beforehand to see if we needed anything, and she showed up early. When they arrived on site, they could tell we were initially pretty nervous. They helped us walk through poses, played our favorite songs, and coordinated to ensure we had all the shots/photo groupings we wanted. They were a huge reason that our day went so smoothly! We truly cannot say enough kind things about their character, our experience, and Before Our Eyes Photography!”
