It was a very relaxing and beautiful way ...
To say it was an honor to photograph Nick and Carla’s elopement would be an understatement. I was secretly hired by family members a few weeks before the Big Day.

While I feel eternally blessed to be able to witness and capture the love between so many incredible souls, there’s nothing like seeing one of your best friends saying “I do!” to the man of her dreams.
