A One-of-a-Kind San Clemente
Elopement Experience
First look at the outlets. Ceremony by the ocean.
Somewhere between premium and clearance — it works.
Not traditional. Not trying to be.
The First Look
(Retail Edition)
This is where it starts.
Not in a field. Not at a venue.
At the outlets.
You show up dressed for your wedding day in a premium outlet — and somehow it just works.
Clean light. Easy movement. No setup.
No stress. No overthinking.
Just show up, look at each other, and let it happen.
Simple. Easy. Yours.
Just retail.
Portraits Throughout the Outlets
We move through the outlets like it’s all part of the plan —
because it is.
Different textures.
Different light.
Different little corners that feel like their own scene.
Some shaded.
Some bright.
Some that feel like a quiet moment in the middle of a place that’s never actually quiet.
Every direction gives you something new.
Like an endless rotation of locations —
none of them designed for this, all of them working anyway.
Ceremony with a View
And then we shift.
From storefronts to coastline.
One of San Clemente’s overlooked ocean-view ceremony spots —
sometimes even the upper level of a parking structure with a clean line straight out to the Pacific.
No signage.
No setup.
No one telling you where to stand.
Just open air, natural light, and a view that feels way bigger than where you started.
Because underneath everything —
this part still matters.
Post-Ceremony Celebration
Sometimes that means Ruby’s.
Burgers. Fries. Milkshakes.
Still dressed like you just got married —
because you did.
It’s simple.
A little unexpected.
And somehow fits perfectly with a day that never tried too hard to make sense.
Optional Add-Ons (If You Want to Lean Into It)
This is where things shift.
From “this is different”
to
“this should not work… but it absolutely does.”
The Paparazzi Moment
For a few minutes, everything breaks.
Movement.
Voices.
Cameras going off from every direction.
Like you just stepped into something bigger than your day.
It’s fast.
It’s chaotic.
It disappears just as quickly as it shows up.
And suddenly, the entire experience feels… elevated.

As seen on absolutely nothing.

No code.
No countdown timer.
No “act now.”
Just… $2,200.
Disclaimer
This experience may result in:
- strangers looking at you like something is happening (it is)
- a sudden loss of interest in traditional weddings
- moments that feel like a mistake until they don’t
Side effects may include:
- laughing at things that shouldn’t be funny
- forgetting what you originally thought a wedding should look like
- a growing suspicion that this was the better decision all along
Not recommended for:
- anyone looking for a perfectly controlled, traditional timeline
- people who need everything to make sense
- couples who want their wedding day to look like everyone else’s
If none of that sounds like a problem,
you’ll probably be fine. This is not for everyone. That’s exactly why it works.

Q&A
Can you actually get married at the outlets?
No.
That’s just where things start.
The ceremony takes place at a nearby ocean-view location —
which gives the day a balance between something unexpected and something real.
Is this a serious wedding experience?
Yes.
It just doesn’t take itself too seriously the entire time.
There are moments that feel grounded —
and others that feel completely unexpected.
That’s the balance.
What if the outlets are busy?
Even better.
That energy becomes part of the experience.
We’re not trying to control everything —
we’re working with what’s there.
Do we have to do the paparazzi thing?
Not at all.
You can keep it simple
or lean into it.
The structure holds either way.
