Moody Winter Elopement

Where do I even start? I’ve known Avy and her family almost all of my life, going way back to singing in the Holly Creek Christmas programs with her sister Alissa.

I’m always honored when a couple chooses me to document their wedding day, but it’s definitely extra special when it’s someone you’ve watched their relationship grow from beginning to now.

Avy & Tisha tossed around this idea for a while of doing some unconventional (hoping for a big snow, but sadly the weather had other plans for us.)

Intimate elopements have always been one of my favorite things to shoot, but this one was so much more than that!

Huddled in a creek bed in January with the winter winds whipping past, I couldn’t even focus on the cold for how much love & emotion was exchanged for this ceremony. (Yes, I teared up – as I always do)

I’ve shot at The Barn at Twin Oaks a bunch of times, but if you’re familiar with the venue, you’ll know that this is a completely different look! Lesleigh did such a fantastic job creating and executing this concept – playing over the bareness of winter and still keeping things warm.

That’s enough talking for me, I’ll let these images speak for themselves!

P.S. If you’ve ever considered doing an elopement like this, I’d LOVE to chat with you!
