Anyone looking in from outside, would think I was the odd man out...


But I never felt more included + comfortable with the intimate group of 6- the bride and groom, as well as their four guests.


While driving out to the location of the ceremony nestled near the river, with a backdrop of distant mountains, I already felt how special the day would be for the couple. And I began to reminisce about my own elopement nearly 13 years ago.


Their day was focused on the very important things: close friends to witness their union, a short and sweet ceremony and photos of them together just reveling in the small moments.


Topped off with a sweet wedding cheesecake cutting.
