This sweet elopement is live today! We hadn’t met prior to their wedding day, but I met Diana in the parking lot at Quiet Waters Park where they would do a first look at the South River Overlook at the gazebo. Very few people knew they were eloping . They said I do to each other under the roof line of a beautiful gazebo overlooking the river in front of their kids. It was so intimate and special. Diana has two very sweet older sons Ben and Alex and together Philip and Dianna have their sweet 16-month-old name Willy. What a cutie.

They would soon be excited to share with friends and family on Instagram! During portraits the sky opened up while a little sunny and it started to pour. We looked for a rainbow but found none. Smiles across everyone’s face as we kept taking portraits under the gazebos. Congrats Phillip and Diana. Super excited for you guys and honored and thankful you asked me to document your beautiful intimate wedding.

Yah! I’m so excited to share this wedding today on the blog. I met Ashley via zoom thanks to her officiant Rachael. When Ashely and I started talking, I knew we would be a really good fit. I actually didn’t’ realize how perfect the fit would be until the day actually came.

Ashley and Nick had planned an elopement more than a mini wedding at the gazebo at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis Maryland. I loved it because it was simple and beautiful. The florals were done by the bride herself, they included their dog in the ceremony and photos, AND her dad and grandparents on her wedding day. Florals were actually wooden and paper and just gorgeous. Even the floral crown was assembled and designed by the bride… it looked incredible!

My 2020 couples are blessing me with new locations and experiences and I’m so thankful! For Clare and Zach’s session we went down to Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis and traversed the land! It is such a beautiful park: gazebos, trees, fields, high grass, and water! My favorite part (besides hanging with these two cuties!) were seeing all the fluffer puppers!!  Even at the brightest part of the day, we were able to find some open shade and get some fun photos.
