An Intimate Paris Elopement

"Some couples decide to elope to keep things private, and other couples like Jessie and Yuchen want both the intimate and the big celebration! After a civil ceremony in their home town of Seattle with their parents, the couple eloped in Paris to spend time together, just the two of them, in the City of Love. They returned to the US and are planning a large reception for next fall.

The couple chose Paris for its romance and elegance and because it was where they had gotten engaged the year before. Since it was just the two of them, they privatized an intimate ballroom full of Parisian decorative details: gilded walls, crystal chandeliers, and a beautiful marble chimney mantle. Their ceremony took place in front of the decorated mantle just before sharing a gourmet French dinner together."

This Paris elopement is just to die for.

A Sea to Sky Gondola Trails Engagement Session

"Carlie and Devon are two young lovers who were looking for a laid-back, romantic engagement shoot. We discussed some outdoor areas and activities, as they felt nervous about being in front of the camera.

We decided on a Sea to Sky Gondola Trails engagement session, which has spectacular views of the west coast mountains. We finished the session off with a cozy fire, nestled in blankets by Alice Lake. I documented them with the same laid-back, un-posed approach, so I would capture only natural emotions and expressions."

A Mint + White Casa Feliz Wedding

"This beautiful mint and white Spring wedding in Winter Garden, Florida was a Casa Feliz wedding that was absolutely to die for. Many years ago when walking through Winter Park, the bride saw Casa Feliz and knew that she one day wanted to get married there. That was the one and only place for her.

The couple wanted a very intimate atmosphere -- All 65 guests were family and close friends, as they wanted their day to feel more relax with less structure and "tradition." And oh, it sure was a beauty!"
