Wedding at Cuffey’s Cove in Elk, California – Mendocino Wedding Photos // Right outside of Mendocino is a quiet little sleepy town that boasts incredible views of California’s coastline. The jagged rocky islands that shoot out of the Pacific were visible all along the coast. Cuffey’s Cove Ranch sits above these bluffs, a historic coastal ranch fit with Elk’s first settlement house, a barn, mooing cows, and meadows extending way out into the forest. This serene place is where Tina & Drew decided to tie the knot.
On top of a hill overlooking the property and the Pacific, Tina & Drew exchanged vows in a tear jerking ceremony. It was hard to hold it together! These two are the most sincere and loving people, and together, they are magic. In all honesty, it was such a privilege in being such an intimate part of their day. We chased sunset together and ventured way out to the bluffs to take an up-close peek of that coastline we’ve been raving about. We were expecting the mystical fog that the central coast is known for, but instead we must have brought that magical Southern California sunshine with us – which was pure gold. And it gets even better. When golden hour passed, the stars shun bright and hung heavy in the big open sky throughout the evening. That day felt as perfect as Tina & Drew are together.
