Who does not love Etsy? They have just about everything and most things are so unique. If you want to add to your wedding little details or even some big ones, Etsy is the place to go. I will be adding some shops I have seen that have some amazing items. This blog post is […]

It is no secret that one of the prettiest city hall’s in all of the United States is right in our backyard, San Fransisco. Eloping at a beautiful city hall is just part of the fun the other part is coming up with unique things to do in the city to celebrate. That is where […]

We are truly a foodie by nature, so if I were to elope right now (vow renewal for us) I would plan the menu around Eli and I’s favorite foods. We love puerto rican food, Spanish food, Mexican food, Vietnamese food and African food as a shared love. We really love all food, so narrowing […]

We are jumping into only shooting elopements (under 12 people) and intimate weddings (under 50 people) in 2023 so if you see a lot of elopement blog posts that is why. We are just so excited to be specializing in a field that we know and love. That being said let’s jump right into 7 […]

Had the best time at the Sonoma County Shootout! Thank you Elise, Amy and Tiffani for the best time and all the amazing vendors who made this glamping shootout at Wildhaven possible. Eli and I were honored to be there and loved meeting so new people as well! Vendors: Host: @sonomacountyshootouts Venue: @wildhavensonoma  Florals: @willowandbloomllc  […]

After many years of shooting many different types of weddings I have determined that I love micro-weddings, elopements the best. Do not get me wrong I am passionate at shooting all types of weddings, but I thrive at shooting these types of weddings. I think it is because I get to help my couples plan […]

This was one of those shoots where everything just came together: no wind, good weather and great light! Happy one year anniversary to the sweetest couple who loves the desert just as much as I do. Also, Hayley is a wizard at florals and all the florals came from her work WildFlora. To see her […]

A beautiful Christmas elopement in city hall. It was the first time I had ever been to city hall at Christmas time and it did not disappoint. Getting married with a stunning tree in the background just set the stage for the whole day! We started in city and ended at the conservatory of flowers. […]
