"An Intimate Escape: The Magic of a Special Wedding Elopement"


Damien and Laisha were determined to make their elopement truly special. They wanted it to be a significant event, not just a simplified version of a traditional wedding. Initially, Laisha considered eloping in Orlando, but during our consultation, I sensed her desire for a more unique and memorable setting. 


One of my favorite locations, the Sarasota Courthouse, came to mind. It exudes charm and authenticity, with a rich blend of culture and history. Laisha had every detail covered. She did an amazing job organizing everything, clearly communicating her needs, and being open to my suggestions. With the elopement package, which includes four hours of session time, I meticulously plan out the schedule to ensure we capture all the important moments.


For this beautiful couple, we included a first look, the ceremony, and post-ceremony portraits, which featured the most precious generational photos with her grandparents. We even wrapped up the day with a honeymoon-style shoot at the beach. It was a perfect way to capture the essence of their special day


As I learned more about their love story and the deep affection they have for each other, I was overjoyed to be a part of their special day.


Eloping is a deeply personal and intimate way to celebrate your love story. As a photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing many elopements, each unique and filled with moments of pure joy and connection. When it comes to planning your elopement, it's essential to focus on what you, as a couple, truly need and want. Your elopement should be a reflection of your relationship and personalities. Whether you envision saying your vows on a mountaintop, in a quiet forest, or at a charming city hall, the setting should resonate with both of you. As your photographer, my goal is to understand your vision and capture the essence of your love story in a way that feels authentic and true to who you are. The flowers you choose, the attire that reflects your style, the special tokens you exchange—every element holds significance. As your photographer, I pay close attention to these details, ensuring that they are beautifully documented as part of your elopement story.


Together, we’ll create a collection of images that tell your unique love story, preserving the memories of your special day for years to come.
