J and N’s urban winter elopement at Race + Religious in the heart of New Orleans was nothing short of a lively and magical celebration! With the soulful sounds of a brass band filling the air, these two lovebirds embarked on a whimsical journey into marital bliss. The charming streets of the Big Easy set the perfect backdrop for their intimate gathering of two, and as they exchanged vows, you could feel the electric energy of the city adding an extra sprinkle of joy to their special day. It was a true New Orleans love story, filled with laughter, music, and a whole lot of heart!

As the golden sun dipped below the horizon, B and J found themselves on the sandy shores of the Florida Panhandle, surrounded by the Gulf breeze. With their companion C leading the way on the nature trail, we began their evening beach session, commemorating the beautiful memories they’ve built since they moved into the area in 2021.

Capturing C + J’s love once again!! I had the joy of getting to spend time with this pair as the sun rose through the trees of Piedmont Park along with S + B (who I was SO excited to finally meet!!). This delightful couple, whose journey I’ve been privileged to document since their engagement in 2021 and their beautiful wedding in 2022 at the Watercolor Inn, returned with even more radiance and their two beloved dogs in tow. J even brought the quilt that her mom had made for them as a wedding gift to us in the field!

I recently had the pleasure of capturing M and K’s love story amidst the stunning backdrop of Grayton Beach State Park, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of a blast!

Beneath the warm hues of a Destin sunset, I had the incredible privilege of capturing a love story that began in the hallways of their middle school during 7th grade. J + L’s journey from classmates to soulmates brought them to the picturesque jetties for a breathtaking engagement session! As the sun painted the sky with its golden brushstrokes, their love and affection for each other radiated. A beautiful chapter in a story that started long ago, now being etched against the backdrop of a setting sun and endless horizons.

Let me tell you about T and J’s wedding at Eden Gardens State Park last fall – it was like something out of a fairytale, seriously! The weather was on our side, not too hot, not too humid, just perfect. After the scorcher of a summer we’ve had, it was amazing!

What an epic Saturday spent with J and B! It’s safe to say it’s one for the books!

Their day kicked off in true cat-parent fashion, hanging out with their fur babies at home before diving headfirst into the wedding festivities to come that afternoon.

If you’re thinking about eloping in a beautiful place somewhere in the world you’ve undoubtedly come across the term “adventure elopement”. Despite being certain you want to do something out of the box for your wedding day, once again you’re being boxed in by this new term. Now you’re trying to navigate where you fall into the spectrum of outdoorsy-ness and getting lost in a sea of options. Enter ME. Your little beacon of light. Guiding you through the bullshit and confusion towards a day that is simply defined by: “doing-whatever-you-want-to-do elopement” (…I’ll work on a less wordy definition later)! 

Love knows no season, and for R and M, December became the canvas for their breathtaking engagement session bathed in the warm hues of a Gulf Coast sunset!

Alaska’s vast landscape is brimming with electric blue glaciers, sprawling wildflowers, aurora borealis lighting up the skies, oceans full of whales, lush mountains teeming with wildlife, and truly undisturbed locations. Oh, and it’s all a domestic flight away. There is so much to do and see. And memories to create. If that’s not the perfect destination for a rustic outdoor elopement, I don’t know what is!
