Wildly Romantic Clifftop Elopement in Southern Spain

Jessica and David, from California to Southern Spain, eloped in a quaint white village in Andalucia in late spring, when the flowers are still vibrant and the days long and warm. They arrived at their rustic Andalusian cottage for the weekend, ready for an experience that would remain with them for a lifetime.

THE ELOPEMENT ADVENTURE BEGINS

Their adventure began with horse riding on the wild beaches of Cadiz. The couple rode side by side, taking in the breathtaking views of the ocean and the sandy beaches. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore and the salty air filled their senses as they enjoyed this magical experience together. The day ended with a surprise picnic, where they sat amongst the sandy dunes, as they shared local wines and a charcuterie board of local meats and cheeses. They watched the sun slowly dip below the horizon before the sky turned a deep inky blue.

SACRED VOWS ON A CLIFFTOP

Their big day started with a slow breakfast followed by relaxing massage together. They took their time getting ready savouring the leisurely pace of life in the Mediterranean.

Not having an inkling of how their day would unfold, they put their whole trust in the local wedding team and sat back to enjoy the ride.

They were led to the coast and found themselves at the dramatic red clifftop, where the stormy skies added to the emotional ambiance. As they stood at the edge of the cliff, overlooking the vast ocean, they made a beautiful promise to one another and sealed their love with a hand-tying ritual, using textiles that their friends and family had gifted to them. They felt their loved ones' energy and love surrounding them, even though they weren't there in person, it was as if they were there in spirit, blessing their union. The wild, untamed beauty of the coast only added to the magic of the moment, as they committed themselves to one another forever.

The ceremony was beautiful to witness, as I put this post together, my tears fall as they did that very day.

ROOFTOP DINNER BENEATH A FULL MOON

The evening ended on a rooftop in a magical white village. Gifting the newlyweds a stunning view of endless rooftops, the nature surrounding and the full moon. They enjoyed a tasting menu of ethically sourced, seasonal produce and an abundance of wine and cocktails. The food was prepared by a local chef who designed the menu with Jessica and David’s favourite Spanish dishes and ingredients. As they wined and dined, they were serenaded by the soothing melodies of a Spanish guitarist. Jessica and David sat close, holding hands and immersing themselves in the romantic dreamy atmosphere. They laughed, conversed and reminisced about the events of the day.

And finally, we all shared a celebratory drink together, creating the perfect end to a unforgettable elopement experience.
