fair warning, these photos may induce overwhelming

fair warning, these photos may induce overwhelming feelings of love and joy - which is how wedding (or engagement photos) should make you feel, don’t you think? ⁠
⁠
i met these two lovebirds in Malibu for their engagement session, and let me say it was quite an honor to document this chapter of their story. ⁠
⁠
their love is so infectious, authentic, and perfectly theirs. while i was clearly there to capture it, they were able to to lose themselves in the moment, as if it was just the two of them falling in love all over again. their authentic attire also added to the overall ‘vibe’ of the session. ⁠
⁠
⁠
anways, these are just a few sneak peeks from the day that i could hardly wait to share...⁠
.⁠
.⁠
for anyone who is planning a wedding, engagement session, or elopement adventure, please don’t hesitate to make who you are the theme of your day. i promise you it’ll be so much more memorable when you do. ⁠
⁠
littlovedove + kaiyang⁠, thank you for reminding me why i do what i do, and for inviting me to be a part of your love story. it’s a good one. ⁠

as someone who eloped herself, i don’t blame you

as someone who eloped herself, i don’t blame you one bit. sure, wedding planning can be fun (at first), but it’s also incredibly overwhelming, especially when you factor in everyone else’s unwanted opinions about what you should do for YOUR wedding day. ⁠
⁠
planning an elopement adventure brings the fun back into wedding planning, as it gives you the freedom to craft a day that is for you and your love (the way a wedding should be)! ⁠
⁠
if you’re ready to ditch all the headache that comes with planning a traditional wedding and dive into the wicked world of elopements, i’m here for you! ⁠
⁠
you can count on me as your confidant, your guide, your adventure buddy, your location scout, as well as your elopement photographer! together we can make a wedding day that reflects you and your love, no one else’s.⁠
⁠
now, how does that sound? ⁠
⁠
send me a dm or an inquiry via my website, and let’s start planning the most epic adventure of your lives!⁠

first off, think about the general place where you

first off, think about the general place where you want to get married. Do you want a location that has a deeper meaning or connection within your relationship? or do you want a stunning backdrop to say your vows? ⁠
⁠
👉️ destination or local? ⁠
👉️ new or familiar? ⁠
⁠
the two of you should consider these questions together right from the start.⁠
⁠
next, it’s time to narrow it down a bit further by the actual type of environment that you’re both into. ⁠
🐚 are you all about sandy beaches? ⁠
🌲 a lush forest?⁠
⛰️ dramatic mountains? ⁠
🏜️ does an expansive desert sound up your alley? ⁠
🌆 or perhaps you’re more into an urban celebration? ⁠
⁠
hot tip: you’ll also want to consider how the season/weather may impact your plans.⁠
⁠
finally, think about the types of activities you’d like to include in your elopement day. ⁠
🥾 are you open to exploring and hiking to reach the perfect spot? ⁠
🚗 or do you want it to be easily accessible without a lot of physical work involved? ⁠
⁠
hot take: if you’re not typically into a lot of outdoor exertion, this may not be the best time to push it. 😉⁠

there have been whispers circulating that elopemen

there have been whispers circulating that elopements are often condensed to just 1-2 hours and are thought of as a photoshoot instead of a wedding—both of which are absolutely untrue.⁠
⁠
shall we set the record straight and start spreading some truth about elopements? ⁠
⁠
the beauty of deciding to elope is that you have complete freedom to do whatever you want; you’re not bound by rules, time restraints, traditions, or expectations; there is only you and your love choosing to honor your union exactly as you desire. ⁠
⁠
you could wake up before sunrise, spend the first few hours of your day helping each other get ready, cook breakfast together, do your favorite crossword puzzle, and then head to your favorite park with your dogs to share your vows at the water’s edge as the sun starts to peak. from there, you could have a cozy picnic (prepared by a local chef), sip on sweet tea or wine, read letters from your loved ones back home, and listen to giant waves crash into the shore. ⁠
⁠
after you’ve fueled your body and soul, you could lace up your hiking boots, trek to a secluded spot where you turn on the love song of your life, and share your first dance as the salty wind blows through your hair. of course, you could end your day there, but why not keep the celebration going by indulging in a slice or two of wedding cake, then taking a stroll along the sandy beach before finding a cozy nook to cuddle up next to your love and soak in the fact that you just made the best decision of your lives.⁠
⁠.⁠
whether you decide to elope or have an intimate wedding, getting to marry your best friend is a wickedly special day in your life. so celebrate it fully and with intention; get lost in joy and intimacy as you reflect on how insane it is that of all the people on this vast, beautiful earth, you found each other and fell in love.⁠
⁠
meanwhile, i’ll creep behind a bush, and snap photos from afar. paparazzi status, maybe? but i promise you’ll barely notice me there, and the photos I capture will prove that your day is so much more than a photoshoot. ⁠

one of the best things about eloping is that you get to customize every detail of your day, from location to season, guestlist, and scenery. however you want! ⁠
⁠
i always suggest starting with your location, as it will determine almost every other decision you make moving forward – from when to elope to which vendors to hire, how to pick your attire, and what to budget for everything. ⁠
⁠
while some people may know exactly where they want to elope, others need more assistance to lock down that perfect spot.⁠ this is why I always recommend thinking about the type of scenery you’d like and your overall vision for your big day.⁠
