Photography of Cambria Weddings & Elopements by Peer Johnson

My favorite Cambria Wedding Venues are The Cambria Pines Lodge, Ragged Point Inn, Robin’s Restaurant, Oceanpoint Ranch,  Moonstone Beach, Old Santa Rosa Chapel,  & Harmony Chapel, Fog’s End.

Ragged Point Inn Weddings & Elopements

take place in Southern Big Sur, but, but, but, it’s really closer to Cambria than it is to Big Sur. I know that makes no sense & people always get confused as Big Sur is about 75 miles long. However, Ragged Point is on the very southern end of Big Sur & is 30 minutes from Cambria. Conversely Ragged Point is about an hour from “Big Sur” – meaning where all the hotels & resorts are in Big Sur. Ragged Point Inn & Resort is an all inclusive venue that can house, feed & host your wedding or elopement ceremony all on the same property. The Cliff House at Ragged Point Inn is a seperate house at the end of the property with some of the best views in Big Sur. Combine this with the 40 spacious rooms & you can have all your guests for a very comfortable weekend. You can find more information on Ragged Point Inn & Resort here.

The Cambria Pines Lodge

offers unlimited comfort & privacy for weddings. The gardens are truely spectacular – it’s very easy to find a private corner for special moments. The main lawn is large enough to easily accomodate over 200 guests & is sectioned off during ceremonies for the ultimate in privacy. Guests can choose from room pricepoints varying from individual cabin’s to comfortable single rooms. You can find more information on The Cambria Pines Lodge here.

Robin’s Restaurant

weddings & elopements at Robin’s Restaurant are always a classy affair. The award winning California-International fusion cuisine is served with top-notch service. The private, covered garden patio, offers comfort & beauty year round in Cambria’s quant East Village. The heated covered patio offers a comfortable alternative for an outdoor ceremony. You can view more information on Robin’s Restaurant here.

Oceanpoint Ranch

has one of the only large lawns in all of Cambria – and it’s located directly across from Moonstone Beach.  Your guests can literally take a few steps and have that beautiful dark-sand beach as a backdrop for stunning photos.  Oceanpoint Ranch is located at the northern end of the famous beach with many dramatic vistas for outstanding photos.  Insider’s tip is that the best views are on State Park property and are available to all – even if your eloping elsewhere you can access some of the best spots in all of Cambria.

Moonstone Beach Elopements & Weddings

is the perfect place for your Cambria elopement or wedding.  This dark-sand beach features a few spots to choose from.  Leffingwell landing on the northern end is a nice little cove with easy access.  Shamel Park on the south end has a grass area, barbecue pits & public restrooms. Cambria’s Moonstone Beach is an awe-inspiring place for intimate weddings & elopements. Black sand coves & majestic forever views are only upstaged by colorful sunsets. Moonstone Beach is very close to The Cambria Pines Lodge & Robin’s Restaurant. The can easily be reached on your wedding day if you hire the right photographer! You can find more information on Moonstone Beach here.

Old Santa Rosa Chapel

is a hidden gem of a Cambria Wedding venue. It really is. Old Santa Rosa Chapel is a heck of alot better in person than it looks on their website. I can’t stress that enough. It’s really beautiful. Situated on top of a small hill in Cambria’s East Village (which is the original location of town) the Chapel can seat 85 guests. It is old, small & a little creeky, but it is a very classy spot. You can find more info on the Old Santa Rosa Chapel here.
