Two Brides getting ready at a 17th century Inn in the historical Gloucester Massachusetts on their elopement day

Uni & Yas: Cape Ann Editorial Elopement

Elopement

Uni and Yas are a real, madly in love, share love notes and special moments, real couple. They aren’t models – just two humans who wanted to create something beautiful and special together, that I connected with, who decided to make this day as real as possible. We started by getting ready at the William Haskell House in Gloucester – a historic Inn built in 1680, and still nearly in the same condition as it was when it was constructed during the First Colonial Period.

Obviously breaking into a well-saturated NYC market when you haven’t ever photographed in the city before isn’t the easiest thing ever – so I took matters into my own hands, and went to the city armed with these beautiful humans, Nicole from Good Vibes Beauty Co, wedding clothes from Julie Allen Bridals, and some stunning florals from The Dirt Empress, as well as a huge nod to one of my favorite stationary companies: Oblation Papers out of Oregon….

An Elopement Week in Iceland

Elopement

I’ve always struggled with how to write about this particular elopement. These were more than just clients for me… the groom, James, was one of my dearest friends through some of the hardest years of my life. I met him in his early 20’s, watched him go through a struggle with becoming sober, he helped me through my divorce and then supported me as I got on my feet as a single mom…

The Rainiest of Oregon Elopements

Elopement

Lillie and Tyler’s Oregon Coast elopement turned out to be the rainiest, windiest elopement day I’ve ever experienced. From the vows flying over a cliff in the wind at Hug Point, to signing their marriage license in a fish and chip shop – this was a PNW elopement for the books
