In case you missed last week’s announcement, I have retired from shooting “traditional” weddings. However, I am thrilled to still be photographing elopements, courthouse ceremonies, vow renewals, and some receptions! Elopements have been my favorite, since shooting my first one ten years ago. In addition to less stress, and often less time, they’re just more romantic. Without all of the “stuff” that comes with traditional weddings (the guests, decorations, catering, speeches, posed portraits, etc.), the focus is completely on the love and the marriage, not the wedding itself.

Anyway, as a way to celebrate this big change to my business, I’m going to be re-posting some of my favorite elopements from the last decade. First up is Tracy and Jordon’s beach elopement in Neskowin, Oregon.
