July 6 marks International Kissing Day—a playful, heartfelt reminder of the simple, yet powerful gesture of a kiss. Whether it’s the giddy peck after a first look or that long-awaited smooch at the altar, kisses are at the very core of love stories. On wedding days especially, they say everything words can’t. So today, we’re celebrating the magic of a kiss and the moments that make them unforgettable.
To mark the occasion, we’re sharing a few standout elopements from our community, each filled with romance and perfectly timed kissing shots that made us melt. From a lush floral escape designed by Ella & Louie, to a sun-soaked ceremony with Monte Vista Events, absolutely darling elopement cakes by The Little Things Bakery and the historic charm of a Santa Barbara celebration at the Historical Museum, these galleries remind us why wedding kisses are truly worth a second (or third!) look.
