At Tides to Peaks Elopements, we create unforgettable, intimate ceremonies in some of California’s most breathtaking places. Specializing in Orange County beach elopements, we help couples exchange vows on the golden sands of Laguna Beach, the dramatic cliffs of San Clemente, and the hidden coves and coastal viewpoints that make this region so special. Our all-inclusive packages take care of everything—from location guidance and permitting to trusted vendors and personalized ceremony planning—so you can simply show up, breathe it in, and enjoy the moment.
For couples drawn to the mountains, we also plan meaningful elopements in destinations like Big Bear Lake, Lake Arrowhead, and Julian. Whether your dream day includes waves crashing at your feet or the quiet stillness of towering pines, we’re here to create an experience that feels true to you. Every elopement is crafted with care, intention, and a relaxed, personal approach—making your celebration beautiful, stress-free, and full of heart.
Brooke Lyon is a Southern California native whose love for celebration was shaped by golden beaches and Pacific sunsets. After moving to Colorado more than 20 years ago, the mountains and wide-open landscapes quickly became part of her heart as well. Today, she blends the easygoing spirit of California with the natural beauty of Colorado to help couples create weddings that feel joyful, personal, and unforgettable.
With a background in project management, Brooke brings exceptional organization, calm energy, and a genuine passion for helping people. She guides couples through every step—from permits and logistics to location scouting, vendor coordination, and thoughtful details—and offers concierge-style services for those who want an even more personalized, stress-free experience. Whether it’s a breezy beach elopement or a mountaintop ceremony, Brooke ensures every moment feels seamless, meaningful, and true to the couple’s story.
With decades of wedding and elopement experience, Joey Broccardo has a talent for making couples feel instantly comfortable—usually by saying something he didn’t plan. He’s photographed love stories everywhere from SoCal beaches and Catalina Island to the Sierra Nevada peaks, Colorado mountaintops, and even New Hampshire. Joey thrives in adventurous, just-us celebrations where the scenery is stunning, the moments are real, and laughter comes easy.
A born-and-raised San Clemente local, Joey is wildly loyal to his community—and to his Rainbow sandals. When he’s not behind the camera, he’s probably over-caffeinating, serving up questionable dad jokes, or pretending he packed hiking boots for the next adventure. Realistically, he’s sipping a West Coast IPA and scouting the perfect sunset.
