A peaceful September elopement filled with sentiment, simplicity and a love that felt steady and deeply rooted.
< BACK TO PORTFOLIO
Bob and Lori eloped at Goldberry Woods on a quiet September afternoon surrounded only by the trees, the sounds of nature, and each other. Their day was intimate, intentional, and filled with meaning from handwritten vows and sentimental heirlooms to a tradition I had never seen before. After promising their lives to one another, they shared a drink from a Quaich, a two-handled loving cup that symbolizes trust and unity, which made the moment feel even more personal and sacred.
Lori looked radiant in her lace gown and veil, and Bob’s green tweed suit stood out beautifully against the pine grove. After the ceremony, they cut cake, toasted with champagne, wandered the grounds hand in hand, and embraced the feeling of being married with no rush, no timeline, and no audience.
Their gallery reflects a love that feels warm, steady, and joyful, with images filled with emotion, tenderness, and quiet celebration.
