elopements

Big Sur Elopement Photographers | Kelly + Danny

I have always told my friends that there is absolutely no way I would ever be any of their wedding photographers. First off, how am I supposed to focus on anything with a never-ending flow of tears? And secondly, I want to be there for them… I want to stand with them, I want to enjoy with them… I don’t want to work all day! (No matter how much I love it!) But there is absolutely one exception to this rule… If you decide to elope I absolutely, positively, must be your photographer!!! And luckily for me, so far they’ve listened.

I’ve known Kelly since I was 14 years old. We grew up together. We watched each other go through just about everything in life. So it was only fitting to spend this amazing day with these two. Kelly and Danny eloped in our favorite place in California! Big Sur! And she killed it in a gorgeous Boho BHLDN gown that I’m totally in love with. We spent the day soaking up flower covered cliffs, strolling under red wood canopies, sipping beers and chasing each other around the purple sand beaches of Pfeiffer Beach. I know I’ve said it before but “magical” does not begin to explain this gorgeous Big Sur elopement.

Enjoy!!

Las Vegas Elopement Photographers | Austin + Brian

Anyone that knows me, knows that I do everything in my power to stay away from the strip or anything touristy. But Austin and Brian really wanted to roam around the LINQ and were willing to do it early in the morning before all the craziness. So I figured why not and to be honest I’m so glad that we did! It was desolate and so quiet, which is definitely not the norm. Between that early morning light, the moisture in the air and that sweet-sweet love of theirs everything just popped!

I’m still bummed I didn’t get to be part of their actual elopement the day before but this morning after session made up for it!

Intimate Joshua Tree Elopement | Asya + Ben

When Asya first got in touch with us about this gorgeous Joshua Tree elopement she was super excited to have a beautiful desert elopement but she wasn’t quite sure where. She thought possibly a Death Valley elopement or even a Red Rock Canyon elopement out here in Las Vegas. But as we chatted more it was evident that she loved the idea of a cute home session before they got each other ready on their wedding day. And let’s face it… there is nowhere better than Joshua Tree to pull off a cute elopement day home session in the desert! I have to say they found the raddest Joshua Tree dome house to get ready in!

We met up with the two of them the night before and chatted in the pitch dark desert until it was time to hit the hay. When we awoke the next morning there was an undeniable electricity between these two as they snuggled, loved and pillow fought the morning away. As afternoon crept up on us it was time for these two love birds to start getting each other ready. So simple, so sweet, so damn beautiful!

We headed out into the wild of Joshua Tree and found the most amazing golden sunset that seemed to linger in the sky for hours. They explored, danced, played tag and finally exchanged vows amongst the goliath boulders. Saying that this intimate Joshua Tree elopement was pure magic would be a huge understatement.

And now…. enjoy!

PS. I totally overshared but how could i not?
