Contact Kaci Lou

Hi, I'm Kaci!

I'm your guide to eloping in California in style! I'll help you plan the best day of your lives, from start to finish with photos to remember it all.

Ready for the best day ever?! California really has it all, it's a huge state with so much diversity. From coastal beaches, cliffs, islands, deserts, lakes, forests, national parks, salt flats, and some amazing city halls...there really is something for everyone here!

The photos we craft together are going to forever remind you of how much you love each other! Great photos come from having a great time so you're gonna have fun and look good, I promise!

I'm based out of San Diego, California and have traveled extensively around the state - Sunset Cliffs, Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, Catalina Island...California has so much to offer, I'm here to help you navigate through it all. 

Start planning your California Elopement

"Kaci Lou is AMAZING. Our day would not have been nearly as perfect without her. We considered eloping after our big wedding was no longer possible [...] Kaci Lou is extremely organized and well-equipped from start to finish. You can’t go wrong booking her, and your jaw will drop at how beautiful the photos are. Multiple people have independently told us they belong in a magazine!! What more could you want?" -Kylie and Max

The Best places to elope in california

You can have the best of both worlds! A micro-wedding can be just as adventurous as an elopement with just a few of your closest family and friends. Typically less than 30 guests. 

I also have many couples that will elope then have a reception later. The sky is the limit!

is a California micro wedding is for you?

Just the thought of planning a big wedding stresses you out, so now you're thinking about eloping and I might be biased but I really believe eloping is the best way to get married! No stress, all fun!

Especially around California! You can't go wrong with the climate and landscape options here!

Considering a California elopement?

Just because there are less people and less stuff, doesn't mean your wedding is any less special! In fact, I think it is even more special because you will truly be able to focus on you two and your love for each other. That's what really matters. 

Your elopement photos are even more important because there are no guests, no witnesses, no other documentation for you to remember and share later. 

Beyond taking photos, I'll help you plan an amazing day, secure permits if necessary, and find the best vendors so your vision can come to life. 

I'm based out of Northern San Diego and have traveled around the whole state extensively so I know it well! A real California girl at heart!Wether you're a local or having your destination elopement here, we're gonna explore some epic places together! Elopements are my specialty!
