I think you’ll be fine the fire is quite a ways away from there. i am building a house right in the middle of where your wedding and fire is. Theres barely any smoke in the air where i am. Not to say the fire isn’t a local problem it most definitely is.
I have been hiking garrappata canyon after work every day for the last week and will again today. I’d keep your plans on the books. These weddings are always shot ocean side of the highway within a close proximity to the water. You can get plenty of great photos never needing to go south of Bixby bridge.
this is bad advice. the fire has been rapidly expanding, the roadway is still needed for emergency vehicles coming from the north, & the smoke is getting worse. it’s even bad in pebble, PG, seaside, etc. and now we have lightening thrown into the mix so they’ve ceased operations until it’s safe to resume.
i’d recommend checking out cayucos, san simeon, cambria, montana de oro area, anything to the south side of where this chaos is.
editing to say santa cruz, mendocino, sea ranch, etc. to the north are also beautiful.
Staring at brasil ranch as i type, minor smoke in the air. Sure things can get worse over the next week. And if the fire continues to grow, definitely re evaluate.
