It was love at first sight for Mykayla and Jake, so when they celebrated their love, they did it with the only people who were truly able to bear witness to their story: each other. A true elopement, the pair cozied up in the beachside rental Meena Lodge for their wedding weekend -- the space itself reflecting the uncomplicated vintage sensibilities of the couple. 

While the pair sipped coffee out of mugs purchased at their favorite café in New York they exchanged their deeply intimate vows. Sitting in their matching blue pajamas, Mykayla and Jake pledged their love to one another while the early morning light streamed in through the grand windows, allowing them to feel truly at home. Afterward, they got ready for their coastal ceremony.

Mykayla in Margiela tabis, vintage-inspired gown and lace veil, and Jake in a smart brown wool suit, the pair embarked with their closest friend to upgrade from fiancées to husband and wife. After the ceremony the newlyweds ventured to three different beaches to "achieve the coastal trifecta" of cliffs, beach grass and rocky caves for their playful and cinematic portraits - even utilizing vintage opera glasses to watch the seagulls fly by. 

The evening ended as it began, with the happy couple in the comfortable confines of Meena Lodge, where they listened to records, danced in the glow of the rice paper lantern and cut their "chaos cake," to ring in the rest of their lives together.
