The two of them couldn’t stop laughing, and I just remember leaving this session wondering how the world aligns such great people with me which is how I felt leaving my elopement yesterday.

This session started when he began taking his jacket off only for Carley to hault up and give him that look— the one that said "oh my god, only you” and then it never really stopped until he finally relented and removed his knife from his pocket.

That’s the stuff I live for. A fraction of a moment, the real moments, the showing up in front of me knowing you're going to be seen beyond what you show up carrying, experiences or pocket knives alike. The deep-belly laughs. The way you two exist together when no one’s watching—except, well, I am… but like, not in a creeper from the bush way. But in like a, how weren't you a friend of ours beforehand kind of way.

You don’t need a big milestone to book a session, although I'm booking only 2 more spots this October since I am deep into what editing through my que looks like. Maybe you just want to freeze this version of your love. The right-now kind. The soft, sweet, silly, no-one-else-gets-it kind. The honest+ magic moments that were always yours to begin with.

Celebrating in the way that feels best to you, while simply being so fkn committed to having you feel as incredible as you'll look is what lines the list as what's most important to me when spending the day together.

When you are able to show up as yourself, it gives me permission to do the same– and connecting on that human level is what keeps me grounded into loving this passion over ten years into this. However you want to feel, and your day to feel is what grounds me into this.

So when I want to throw my own hands up at life (a little more middle finger vs ring fingers like Kels + Brae), thank you for still showing up for me, welcoming me and supporting the thing that is soOOoo near and dear to me.

Please 2025, I am so ready for more celebrating, more connection, more wild parties, so much more fun and all the love I can't wait to fit into this lil heart of mine.

There is a world where you get everything you want, and this is what it can look like ✨️

Unfiltered joy. Your favorite humans there welcoming you, and the kind of love that makes the whole *room* feel like it's quite literally glowing from being there with you.

The best fking part? You can have a whole day that actually feels like home — because it is with them.

It wasn't just an incredible party and celebration, it was a promise that you don't have to compromise a single damn thing. Not the vibes. Not the venue. Not the vision. And definitely not the feeling of all the magic you deserve.

Emily + Ryan's elopement from the archives of 2022 on the coldest day of the year when in reality it could have been from the last cold snap we just had. I still dream of this day and everything it meant to them, and what it meant to me. Every celebration is an absolute treasure to me *truly my heart 11 years into this can hardly handle it* but something about joining only their siblings to witness the frost nipping at them while their vows found mountain tops will live in my bones forever.
