An Ocean View Wind and Sea Estate Wedding

Jun and Ashleigh have a steady, intentional, and quietly powerful love—the kind you can feel within minutes of being around them. There’s a softness in their eyes and a quiet confidence in their movement through the world together. From the first time I met them during their engagement session, it was clear: these two have built something real and deeply rooted. Their wedding day unfolded on a warm summer afternoon at Wind and Sea Estate, perched above the Pacific. The weather was about as perfect as it gets—bright and breezy in that classic coastal way.

Their Story + Why a Big Sur Wedding

Jun and Ashleigh’s story has stretched across state lines and seasons of growth. From their college days on the Central Coast to cross-country moves and significant life transitions, they’ve built a relationship grounded in shared experiences, quiet resilience, and deep support. They’ve figured out who they are—individually and together—through every move, challenge, and milestone. And even with all the places they’ve called home, Big Sur was always the place they pictured getting married. It’s where they used to escape during college, when life felt a little chaotic, and they just needed space to breathe.

One afternoon, while grabbing lunch, they caught a wedding unfolding nearby. It was a quick, passing moment—but one that lingered. Years later, standing in that same stretch of coastline, promising forever, it felt like everything had come full circle.

Wind and Sea Estate is one of those places that instantly takes your breath away. The ocean is just there, stretching out beneath the ceremony space, and when the sun hits the water just right—which it did for Jun and Ashleigh—it turns everything cinematic.

The day was warm, breezy, and straightforward. Guests settled in, sipping something cold, soaking in the view, and reconnecting with old friends. Something about Wind and Sea invites people to slow down and stay in the present. It’s not just the view (though it is unreal)—it’s how the entire space flows. For couples who care about creating a grounded, intentional celebration, it’s a dream spot. Jun and Ashleigh wanted a personal and close-knit wedding, and this place held that energy without needing much more.

The energy on Jun and Ashleigh’s wedding day felt easy, meaningful, and connected. Their ceremony was held right at the edge of the cliffs, with the Pacific stretching wide behind them. Most of the people there had never met before, making the evening feel even more special. This moment was about community forming in real-time. By the time the sun was golden over the ocean, everyone leaned into conversation over some good drinks. Jun and Ashleigh had hoped for a day that felt true to them, and what they created was even better—personal, lighthearted, and full of the kind of love that leaves a lasting imprint.

If you’re planning a wedding in Big Sur, my advice is simple: keep it meaningful. Choose a location that feels personal, and don’t overcomplicate it. The natural beauty does a lot of the work, but it’s the emotion and intention behind the day that people will remember. Jun and Ashleigh said it best: “It couldn’t have been a better night filled with happiness and love.”
