70s-Inspired Sacramento City Hall Elopement & Photoshoot

Liam and Theresa are the perfect example of how to let loose and truly enjoy your photoshoot! This lovely couple is getting married in October of 2024, but they just couldn’t wait until then to officially tie the knot! So, they opted for an intimate Sacramento city hall elopement with a fun photoshoot. They wanted to do this because they wanted a day for just the two of them to celebrate their love without the stress and fuss of a wedding day! They are of course stoked about their wedding but they were so glad that they chose to do this!

Plus, Sea Ranch is the most charming, architecturally beautiful little coastal town that will make anyone swoon. Plus, it’s the perfect place for a lil elopement!
