Honeymoon Magic in the Swiss Chalet Room – Madonna Inn Wedding Photography

When a wedding is as fun and vibrant as The Orozcos’ elopement at Madonna Inn, there’s only one way to follow it up—with a honeymoon photo session just as full of color, charm, and personality. As a San Luis Obispo wedding photographer, I had the joy of photographing The Orozcos again the next morning in one of the most iconic rooms at the Madonna Inn—the Swiss Chalet Room—and it was the perfect blend of romance and whimsy.


A Honeymoon Session Full of Fun, Vintage Charm & Bubbles

The Madonna Inn is known for its themed rooms, and the Swiss Chalet Room is one of the most playful. With hand-painted woodwork, cozy alpine touches, and all the quirky details the Madonna Inn is famous for, it made the ideal backdrop for a relaxed, love-filled honeymoon photo session.


We kicked things off with bubbles, laughter, and a little bed-jumping (because who can resist?). The Orozcos fully embraced the moment, and I loved capturing their natural connection in this vibrant, storybook setting. Their joy was infectious, and every frame of this honeymoon photography session reflects their fun-loving spirit.


Madonna Inn Pink Champagne Cake = Honeymoon Goals

Of course, no honeymoon session at the Madonna Inn would be complete without a slice (or two) of their famous pink champagne cake. With its frosted swirls and signature color, the cake added just the right touch of nostalgia and sweetness to this already unforgettable shoot.


As a wedding and elopement photographer in San Luis Obispo County, these moments—the unscripted, joyful, deeply personal ones—are what I love most about documenting love stories. Whether it’s the big “I do” or the quiet, giddy morning-after moments like these, my goal is always to capture the essence of your connection in a way that feels timeless and true to you.
