Meet Your Wedding Team

Elope Santa Cruz and Monterey is led by a dynamic duo of wedding professionals with over a decade of experience in crafting beautiful, intimate ceremonies for Elopements and Micro Weddings. Their story began when Rebecca and Donna, both highly sought-after vendors, repeatedly crossed paths while working with the same couples. Not only did they discover that they share the same birthdate, they also found a shared passion for creating unforgettable wedding experiences that inspired them to become a team—offering couples a seamless, stress-free, and deeply personal celebration of their love.

Rebecca, the lead photographer, brings over 20 years of expertise in capturing the genuine emotion and beauty of weddings. Her keen eye for detail and talent for photographic storytelling ensure every couple’s love story is preserved in stunning imagery.

Donna began her journey as a meeting planner, where her natural ability to see the big picture, focus on important details, and infuse creativity into unforgettable events set her apart. In 2010, she followed her heart and became a Wedding Officiant, blending her talents with warmth, joy, and a heart full of honey to serve the couples she works with. With her signature touch of humor and deep sincerity, Donna creates wedding ceremonies that beautifully reflect the unique love that each couple has.

Together, Rebecca and Donna have built a reputation for their thoughtful, professional, and personalized approach to elopements and micro-weddings throughout the breathtaking Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay areas.

They believe that when two people join in marriage, they bring more love into the world—and they are honored to be a part of that moment.

People from all beliefs, cultural/ethnic backgrounds and LGBTQIA+ are embraced.
