Switzer Farm Wedding in Westport, California
Kate + Abtin’s Cliffside Wedding at Switzer Farm In Westport, California
When I think back to Kate + Abtin’s wedding at Switzer Farm in Westport, California, I can still feel the magic of the Northern California coast in the air. Nestled on the rugged cliffs overlooking the Pacific, Switzer Farm is one of those venues that feels both wild and intimate—the perfect place for a celebration as heartfelt as this one.
Kate and Abtin live in San Francisco and both work in tech, but their wedding weekend was the complete opposite of fast-paced city life. As soon as their family and friends arrived, the energy shifted into something warm, grounded, and deeply connected to the natural beauty of the coastline.
Kate wore an absolutely incredible dress—textured, layered tulle that moved like ocean mist. It felt modern yet nostalgic, and completely timeless. Paired with her radiant smile, it set the tone for the entire day. Abtin looked equally sharp and put together.
One of my favorite parts of the day was how the weather played into the story. Kate had been a little disappointed that the sun didn’t make an appearance, worried that the overcast skies might dull the photos. I reassured her that some of my very favorite portraits are taken under soft, cloudy light—and she trusted me. As we wandered the coastal cliffs together, the mist wrapped around them like a cinematic backdrop. Their portraits turned out moody, romantic, and breathtaking—images that could only happen on a day like this.
What struck me most, though, was the love surrounding them. Kate + Abtin’s friends and family were endlessly sweet and supportive, celebrating each moment with laughter and tears.
Every wedding has its own rhythm, but this one was unforgettable. The combination of Switzer Farm’s sweeping ocean views, the misty Northern California coast, and Kate + Abtin’s genuine love story made for something truly special.
