There’s something incredibly intimate and powerful about a small wedding . Alexis and Orson’s day was the perfect reminder of that. This beautiful couple eloped in Northern California, surrounded by the love and support of their closest family. With Orson serving in the Airforce, every moment together carries a deeper meaning, and their elopement was a heartfelt celebration of commitment, courage, and connection.
Even though the gathering was small, it overflowed with joy and love for the bride and groom. The day felt elegant and intentional. I loved capturing every smile, every tear—the quiet glances between Alexis and Orson spoke volumes and were rich with emotion. It was a privilege to capture their joy, and the overwhelming feeling of love that surrounded them.
After the ceremony, Alexis and Orson made one special request — portraits in front of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. It was the perfect backdrop for their love story: strong, enduring, and unmistakably beautiful. As we walked along the lookout, wind in her hair and his uniform sharp and dignified, you could feel just how proud they were of each other — and how ready they are for this next chapter.
Eloped in Northern California — is more that just a title. By eloping in Northern California we were able to capture some incredible photos in beautiful spots. Being in the military can be tough, but it also brings unique chances to meet people and see beautiful places. Orson is from Utah, and Alexis is from Arizona. Without this incredible journey, their paths may never have crossed. It’s the story of a couple who chose each other in the midst of duty, service, and the unknown. It’s a reminder that love doesn’t need a big production to be profound. Sometimes, love simply needs a meaningful location, surrounded by your people, and, above all, a deep love that’s ready to last a lifetime.
Alexis and Orson, thank you for letting me document such a significant day in your lives. Wishing you all the love and strength in the world as you step into marriage, side by side.
