2 years ago they were supposed to get married in Key West, but we all know how 2020 went. D + K didn’t let that stop them from planning an intimate wedding in 2022!

Now on their 14th anniversary, they made it happen! It wasn’t initially planned that way, but I couldn’t think of a sweeter date for them to get married. We started the day K and the girls getting ready together at their beach rental before heading to the beach.

With the rising popularity of elopements, it’s no surprise newly-engaged couples everywhere are trying to decide whether eloping is right for them. Or if they should go the traditional route for their wedding day. Eloping has been around for forever, but the rhetoric around it has changed as couples have come to realize that it is a meaningful way to connect, eliminates stress, is cost effective, relieves decision fatigue, and it’s fun. Overall it gives them permission to put themselves first above all else.

WOW! What a weekend! There are too many words to describe J + L’s wedding weekend, but here are a few: genuine, joyful, entertaining, and fantastic.

Running around on this chilly morning with A + V was well worth the early wake up call and the cold!

A + V went to the University of Tennessee Knoxville (go vols!) along with a good friend of mine E who I also met at UTK. After graduating A + V moved out to Los Angeles and E moved on up to NYC, but we still stayed in touch.

There are few couples in this world that I would be willing to do 2 weddings in one weekend for (let alone the same day!), but C + K were one of those couples.

Couples are scaling down their guest lists and investing more into their wedding than ever to create an ultra personalized wedding day for themselves and their guests to enjoy! The wedding trends rising to the top for 2023 focus on intentional moments, creating a memorable guest experience, infusing personality wherever possible, putting modern twists on old traditions, and sustainability. Across the board these trends are fun, unique, and beautiful—from how couple’s structure their day to the vendors. 

B + C met while in college. They were both history majors at Spring Hill College in Mobile, Alabama. Their professor assigned them to be each other’s peer review partners. During one of their session they met up at Einstein’s Bagels to discuss their edits and C had marked all over B’s paper in red pen! From that day there was always something there between to the two of them.

When K reached out to me about getting photos done before S deployed I knew it was important to get them in. As a military partner myself, I knew just how important having these photos were for K. They are something to hold on to in the months that he is gone.

What if I told you, all the things you’ve been dreaming about your elopement are possible? You can experience a beautiful day full of all the adventure and love you can imagine—it’s just a matter of planning it! We’re going to cover an easy elopement planning step-by-step breakdown, elements you should consider, expert advice, FAQ, and free timeline examples. Together we’ll switch out the overwhelm of planning for the excitement of what’s possible! Sound like a plan? 

Florida weather is unpredictable, especially once hurricane season starts, but R, J + their families were true troopers rolling with the changes!

That is also a huge bonus to having an intimate wedding: more flexibility to change plans up because you are moving less people!
