Jessica & Paul's Elopement : Hotel Del Cornado

One of my all time favorite aspects of engaging in photographic exchanges is the constant witnessing of smiles!
SO many smiles.
Each one sharing such a unique, euphoric moment.
These moments, right here, ah, was it so very special as they truly honored their unique expression of love.

I was connected with this very couple over a year ago through a family friend.
We connected immediately and shortly after, booked their wedding.
As I do so with all my couples, we met a few months after booking to touch base,
go over details, preliminary timelines, etc and then we connect about a month before the wedding.

Well, this second meeting was a little different, as it turned into that of their elopement!
Ahhhhh. Yes, you read it correctly.
These two lovely souls were planning a wedding for the external expression of their love.
As the planning went on, they discovered their desires lied in something intimate, something very intimate, an elopement.
With just them, their best man, maid of honor and a few family members.
​My, was it beautiful.⠀
