Tarah and Karl’s wedding at Mavericks House in Half Moon Bay was the perfect blend of coastal charm, relaxed elegance, and heartfelt celebration. Set along the Northern California coastline, their day was filled with ocean air, joyful energy, and meaningful moments—exactly the kind of wedding that reminds us why we love doing both photo and video.

As their Mavericks House wedding photographer and videographer, we had the privilege of capturing their story from every angle: the still, quiet details and the motion, sound, and emotion that only film can preserve.

Getting Ready: Blue Pajamas, Happy Tears, and Quiet Anticipation

The morning began with laughter and anticipation as Tarah got ready with her bridesmaids. Dressed in coordinating blue pajamas, they shared stories, hugs, and a few happy tears. These are the kinds of moments we love capturing in both photos and video—the candid, in‑between pieces of the day that say so much about your relationships.

Tarah looked stunning in her off‑the‑shoulder gown with delicate lace‑up detailing, a romantic choice that fit the coastal setting perfectly. Karl looked sharp in his tan suit, complementing the soft tones of Mavericks House and the natural colors of the harbor and hills.

With photography, we focused on timeless portraits, details, and candid expressions. With video, we layered those visuals with movement and sound—the rustle of fabric, bursts of laughter, and the calm before the ceremony.

An Oceanfront Ceremony with a Pacific Backdrop

Their ceremony took place outdoors at Mavericks House, with the Pacific Ocean stretching out endlessly beyond a wooden pergola adorned with coral and white florals. Guests sat on rows of white chairs, facing a view that felt like something out of a postcard.

One of the sweetest highlights was their adorable ring bearer, who made his way down the aisle tossing flower petals with pure joy and zero hesitation—an absolute scene‑stealer in both photos and video.

Under the rustic wooden arbor, decorated with tropical‑inspired flowers in vibrant coral and orange, Tarah and Karl exchanged heartfelt vows in front of their closest family and friends. The bridesmaids in flowing teal dresses and groomsmen in neutral tones created a beautiful palette that echoed the colors of the sea and sky.

As their Mavericks House wedding videographer, we captured:

• The sound of waves and sea breeze beneath their vows
• The emotion in their voices
• The reactions of their family and friends

As their photographer, we focused on:

• The big, iconic ceremony moments
• The tearful smiles
• The small, fleeting expressions that you might miss in real time

Together, the photo and video coverage told a complete story of their ceremony from every perspective.

Coastal Portraits Overlooking Half Moon Bay

After the ceremony, we explored Mavericks House and its surrounding overlooks for portraits. The venue’s location near the Half Moon Bay harbor and misty coastal hills gave us a range of backdrops without needing to travel far.

For photos, we captured:

• Classic portraits of Tarah and Karl framed by the harbor and hills
• Soft, romantic images of them wrapped in each other’s arms
• Candid shots of them laughing, walking, and simply enjoying a few quiet moments together

For video, we leaned into:

• Slow, cinematic movement as they walked along the property
• The way the wind played with Tarah’s dress and veil
• Wide establishing shots that placed them in the vast, beautiful landscape of Half Moon Bay

The slightly misty coastal air added a dreamy, cinematic feel to everything—a reminder that Northern California’s fog and texture can be just as magical as clear skies.

Mavericks House: Where Relaxed Beach Vibes Meet Thoughtful Design

Mavericks House is a gem for couples who love the idea of a coastal wedding that feels both relaxed and refined. As a wedding photographer and videographer team, here’s what we love most about this Half Moon Bay venue:

• Versatile Spaces
  From the oceanfront ceremony area to the harbor views and charming indoor spaces, there’s a variety of looks for both photos and video.
• Natural Light & Views
  The coastal light, open sky, and water views mean almost every angle is flattering and cinematic.
• Laid‑Back Coastal Atmosphere
  Guests feel comfortable, the energy stays relaxed, and couples get to be fully themselves—something that always translates beautifully in photo and film.

Tarah and Karl’s design choices fit the space perfectly: teal bridesmaid dresses, coral and white florals, tan suit, and a clean, modern aesthetic that let the ocean be the star.

Capturing Their Love Story in Photo and Film

What made Tarah and Karl’s wedding truly special wasn’t just the setting—it was the way they fully embraced the day. They laughed often, cried openly, and soaked in every moment with each other and their guests.

By photographing and filming their Mavericks House wedding, we were able to:

• Freeze the most meaningful moments in timeless images

Together, the two mediums tell a complete story: how their day looked, how it sounded, and how it felt.
