Elopement
This. This elopement was the SWEETEST. Like the genuine, make-you-feel-warm-and-fuzzy-inside kind of sweetness. Also, they eloped at a CASTLE in Alliance, Ohio! Who knew there was such a thing so close by?! Seriously though, Siqi and Elizabeth have such a tender, beautiful expression of their love for each other. It was incredible to be able to witness such sincere moments between them. Congrats you two!!!!
Every year in the early stages of Springtime, I start to get restless. The urge to “create” creeps back in after a season of rest. Inevitably, my brain goes a hundred miles an hour and I start imagining what could be. I make a few calls (ok, texts…) and before I know it, the snowball is forming and here we go: a styled shoot is born! And this shoot, my friends, was nothing short of DREAMY!

Y’all. This was FANTASTIC!!! I want to do more things like THIS! If you’re eloping or having an intimate wedding and it’s in the boho, romantic vein of things, CALL ME. ha! Seriously though…these are the environments where I work best, and where the magic happens, baby! Let’s do this! Also, you should make sure to get to the end of this little posty post because there’s some great little canoe shots that I don’t want you to miss! They’re some of my personal favs. :) :) :)
Truth be told, this was my first time photographing an elopement and I LOVED it! I hope this is the first of many more. It was a cold, dreary day in Cleveland, Ohio but because of the incredible backdrop of Notre Dame College, we had no trouble finding space to take romantic, rainy day pictures. Allison chose bright bold floral arrangements by Molly Taylor & Co. that were the PERFECT addition to the gray tones of this time of year. Here are just a few sample images of Richard & Allison's beautiful afternoon.
