Me 🤝🏼 a white wall

It was 97 degrees outside when I showed up for Mariana + Steven’s pre-ceremony portraits. No style compromises were made by taking their photos inside the air-conditioned AirBnb 😇

Spring weddings at Riata Ranch!!!! It’s a dream to photograph every dang time 🥲

Dana & Chris are so in love 🥰

This impromptu first look with Dana’s grandmother was one of my favorite moments of the day

First look at the bunkhouse!

Was so sweet and emotional

Followed by personal vows, witnessed by their wedding party!

And then the ceremony with all the guests!

A zoom lens 🤝🏼 Riata Ranch’s ceremony space

Officiated by their brother in law, a deeply personal touch

Husband and wife!!!!!!!

I will never get tired of guests dotting the lawn at cocktail hour, with the sprawling oaks as a backdrop

All the colorful details!!!

When I say fun people attract other fun people, I am probably talking about Chris and Dana’s family and friends

Running through the fields at golden hour is always a highlight at Riata 🥲

And we always have to take a step back for the oak trees, a slo county icon

Everyone’s favorite reception space!!!!!

Sunset and toasts!

Everyone’s favorite reception space part 2!

I’m convinced you can’t have a bad time on a checkerboard dance floor 🤷🏻‍♀️

A very, very fun day 🤸🏻‍♀️

SNEAK PEEKS from the kind of day that reminds me exactly why I love all-inclusive elopements. 🤍
.
These two said they wanted to get married in San Francisco and from there, we planned the whole experience together.
.
The locations, timeline, hair + makeup by @brittarrbeauty and content creator @social.coast who both traveled with me, flowers from @edenfloralslo that I brought with me… and then I got to photograph it all AND legally marry them… yes I officiate most elopements I shoot if you didn’t know.🥹
.
Basically, they just had to show up, get married and have the best freaking day.
.
And we DID.
.
We laughed literally all day. The groom was hilarious and also came prepared with a steady stream of random fun facts 😂. The weather was unreal, San Francisco showed OFF, and we ended the night with the most insane pink sky behind the Golden Gate. (Thank you, Dolly, for the pink skies. 🩷✨)
.
THIS is what I want eloping to feel like. Intentional, fun, completely you and without spending your wedding day stressing over all the logistics.
.
Dreaming of an elopement but have no idea where to start? That’s where I come in.
.
Comment ELOPE or DM me and let’s dream yours up. California or halfway across the world, I’m game. ✈️

I’m Samantha Josette, a California elopement + intimate wedding photographer, planner and 😉 ordained officiant based on the Central Coast. I help couples create a day that actually feels like them… and then photograph it of course🤍

If you’re new here, hi, I’m Samantha Josette 🤍

I’m a California elopement + intimate wedding photographer based on the Central Coast in San Luis Obispo County, photographing love stories from Big Sur, Yosemite, Santa Barbara + beyond.

I’m here for the couples who want their wedding day to feel less like a production and more like them — intentional, adventurous, beautiful, a little untraditional, and actually fun.

I don’t just show up with a camera. I help you dream up the experience, find incredible locations, build a timeline that leaves room to breathe, and create photos that let you feel the day all over again.

Planning a California elopement, destination elopement, or intimate wedding? ✨
2026 + 2027 dates are open. Send me a DM or inquire through the link in my bio and let’s start dreaming yours up.

Gearing up for another Elopement in SF in a couple weeks and I can’t help but reminisce this past SF elopement.
.
This one was extra special for me because the bride was one of my besties from high school. So I was thrilled to be a part of her day for sure.
.
He and her man quite literally can quit their day jobs and just model if you ask me so made my job so easy. Like so stunning 🤩
.
I am going to be so honest and say I wasn’t a big fan of SF for a while. I love the city and its beauty… but the way it’s ran kinda gave me the ick. Not to go into too much details let’s just say between 2020 and 2024 I saw some things that made me not only turned off but so sad. 😞 because SF is a bit nostalgic for me since I grew up not to far from it and my parents grew up on the east bay.
.
But this last time it changed my mind. I didn’t witness anything bad. I feel like things are turning back around for the good again. Which makes me so happy because I LOVE SHOOTING at these iconic SF locations like shown here the City Hall. But also Palace of Fine arts, Embarcadero for the bay bridge and city scape, Chrissy beach with the view of golden gate.
.
I’m planning this next elopement with a new location in addition to all these… outside the city but I’m stoked. So stayed tuned for that.
.
So ya I’m here to report… SF is definitely growing its trust back for me. I’m so
