SURROUNDED BY BEAUTIFUL NATURE.
There is something undeniably magical about celebrating love surrounded by beautiful nature -- beneath towering trees, beside golden desert landscapes, along the coast, or beneath a sky painted in the softest shades of sunset.
A little luxury. A lot of romance.
And nature as your most beautiful backdrop
Our luxury picnics are thoughtfully designed to bring romance outdoors, where nature becomes part of the celebration. Picture fresh blooms, elegant tablescapes, flickering candlelight, champagne bubbles, delicious bites, soft linens and cozy details -- all nestled within the beauty of the great outdoors.
Because when you’re surrounded by nature, beauty, and the person you love, even the simplest moments can feel extraordinary.
Hi, I'm Amber!
Hi, I'm the founder and owner of Chic-a-Pic Photography & Picnic.
My journey began in Malaysia, where I discovered a love for
storytelling. After working as a journalist and later making the United States my home, I found my true passion behind the camera -- capturing life's most meaningful moments.
Today, I'm based in beautiful San Diego, California,
specializing in intimate weddings, adventurous elopements, and destination celebrations throughout Southern California and beyond.
My style is timeless, romantic, and documentary-inspired,
focusing on genuine emotions, natural connections, and the beautiful moments that unfold naturally.
Get To Know The Photographer
I believe your wedding day should be experienced, not staged.
My goal is to create an enjoyable, stress-free experience while preserving your
love story with elegant, heartfelt images you'll treasure for a lifetime.
It would be my honor to tell your story.
Book our luxury elopement today
Your wedding should be about your love ... not expectations.
At Chic-a-Pic Photography & Picnic, we offer more than beautiful photography. We help you plan a personalized elopement, recommend stunning locations, create a seamless timeline, and capture every genuine moment with timeless, heartfelt imagery.
From "Yes!" to "I do," we'll be by your side every step of the way, so you can focus on what matters most -- each other.
Skip the stress and the drama of a traditional wedding.
Let's create an intimate celebration that's uniquely yours.
Even if that's just the two of you...
If you value meaningful moments over a packed guest list, breathtaking scenery
over crowded ballrooms, and unforgettable experiences over tradition, a luxury elopement may be the perfect way to begin your forever. It allows you to celebrate your love authentically, surrounded by beauty, intention, and the people who matter most -- even if that's just the two of you.
And for us, it was an absolute honor to curate this intimate little love story for Gizelle and Ren -- proof that an unforgettable elopement doesn't have to be extravagant. Sometimes, all you need is a beautiful place, a little bit of magic, and the person you love beside you.
Our California couple, Gizelle and Ren, wanted nothing over the top for their intimate elopement in Yucca Valley, California. Their wish was beautifully simple: a romantic picnic, fresh flowers, a delicious carrot cake, peach Bellinis to toast their love, and a sweet little altar where they could say, “I do.”
And sometimes, less truly is more.
We created an elegant, intimate setting with a small macrame-covered teepee, white leather picnic sofa, beautifully styled table, fresh florals, and the soft desert landscape as their backdrop. Nothing extravagant. Nothing excessive. Just thoughtful details designed around the two of them.
Yet somehow, the entire scene felt like it had stepped straight out of a Hallmark love story -- romantic, dreamy, and wonderfully personal.
With only their officiant present and a portable speaker playing their favorite songs throughout the picnic and during their vows, the late afternoon unfolded quietly and naturally. There were no crowds, no elaborate production, and no distractions -- just two people deeply in love, celebrating one of life's most beautiful moments together. A carrot cake to share. Peach Bellinis to toast. Music that meant something to them. Vows spoken beneath the desert sky.
It was simple. It was elegant. It was romantic.
It was completely theirs.
A Little Picnic. A Lot of Love.
Precious Day for Love
Love is life's greatest adventure, and your wedding day marks the beginning of a beautiful new chapter. It is a day filled with anticipation, heartfelt vows, joyful laughter, quiet tears, and unforgettable moments that deserve to be celebrated with intention and grace.
Whether you envision an intimate beachfront ceremony,
a breathtaking desert elopement beneath golden skies, or a luxurious celebration
surrounded by your closest family and friends, your wedding should be a true reflection
of your love story -- authentic, elegant, and deeply personal.
At Chic-a-Pic, we believe every love story deserves an extraordinary setting and an unforgettable experience. Long after the flowers have faded and the music has ended, your photographs will remain -- timeless reminders of the promises you made, the joy you shared, and the love that brought you together. This is more than your wedding day. This is your precious day for love -- beautifully celebrated, artfully captured, and forever remembered.
