Happily Ever After Elopement

Every single wedding story is completely different, and I feel like no matter how many weddings I attend, I always see something new and unique and absolutely magical during your big day.

This wedding was no exception. Ash and Holly are some of the most heartfelt and genuine people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. They knew that joining together on this day was a big move, but they recognized that it was a big move for their daughter as well! After the traditional first look between Holly and Ash, we did a second first look with her daughter, and it was absolute perfection!

In case that wasn’t the sweetest moment you’ve seen in a long time, allow me to double down on the cute factor here! One great thing about eloping is that you have a smaller crowd to try to entertain, so you have a little extra time with just you, soaking in the moments, making epic memories. After these incredible first look moments, the daughter wrote a note to Ash for him to read before the ceremony. It was so beautiful, and so touching. Cue the tears

Then, the bride and groom exchanged letters to one another, and while they read them I could feel the love between them. I just knew that those private moments, where they pledged silently to each other their love and adoration, were ones that they would remember for a lifetime.

Then, as the cherry on top of this emotionally charged love fest, the ceremony. It was beautiful and magical and everything you want from the joining of two (or in this case three) people. Ash wrote a letter to read aloud while they presented the daughter with a ring to signify that she is forever a part of their joined family. Then, the couple exchanged vows and pledged “I Do” to their happily ever after.

I wish you all the very best and thank you so much for letting me be there to document this beautiful day. Cheers!
