For some people, a courthouse elopement may not seem ideal. But the stress, high stakes, and high expectations that come with an extravagant wedding does not sound fun at all for some couples.

We all know that a wedding is meant to celebrate the beginning of a lifelong journey. However, it can be the source of tension between family members and, unfortunately, sometimes even the couple. Instead of focusing on why they got engaged in the first place, they end up trying to please everyone but themselves.

Whether it’s for these reasons or the fact that they simply want an intimate setting, some couples choose to elope instead of having a traditional wedding.

When Eddie and Kim asked me to capture their courthouse elopement I was thrilled! A lot of people don’t see the need for a photographer for a courthouse elopement but having someone to capture those special moments can make all the difference. Every wedding deserves to be treated equally and every couple deserves to have their fairy tale images to enjoy for the rest of their lives.

No matter if it is a huge ball room wedding or a simple courthouse elopement downtown!

I hope you can feel the love between these two beautiful people when you look at these images. I hope that you can see the beauty in the simplicity and the raw, real emotion between two people who love each other. I hope every image brings you joy and tells the story of Eddie and Kim’s love.
