I truly enjoy every wedding that I photograph. I enjoy hearing how my clients met, and the story behind their decision to spend the rest of their lives with one another. Most of my Brides have their Cinderella moment in front of friends and family; However, I had the pleasure of witnessing and taking part in a very intimate moment in this couples life. This lovely couple proved their bond of friendship was strong. They met each other as children, and through time and circumstance, love brought the two back together again.

Mahaley and Joe travelled all the way from North Carolina, not only to see California’s beautiful Redwood forest, but they eloped right in the midst of those gorgeous tall tree’s! A perfect day for the pair that have been together for seven years. They married on July 7th, 2017 at 7:00pm EST.

It is always delightful to see how people show their love for eachother. This elopment was especially memorable because the pair had no distractions; just them, their love for each other and God.

I wish many years of joy and happiness to you both, and know that you two will live a wonderful married life together back in North Carolina. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
