This shoot began as a dream many months ago, ending in a beautiful reality that got published on Hill City Bride last week! When I went through the re-branding process I knew that I needed to further hone in on my style. I love weddings of all kinds, but one kind of ceremony that is near and dear to my heart is an elopement. I photographed my first elopement and quickly fell in love - it was intimate, focused on marriage, and created beautiful space and time for portraits.
With this in mind, I wanted to revisit the idea of having a small ceremony with gorgeous elements but without the hustle and stress of a wedding day. I think this really came from a place of thinking about my own wedding - while I loved it, people change over time and if I were to have a wedding today I would probably opt for an elopement with immediate family present. There's something so sweet about a celebration of marriage with no pressure or expectations...
