Chelsea & Brady decided to elope after 10 years together on May 25th, 2023. The two of them picked a local overlook based in the New River Gorge National Park for their special day. These two exchanged loving vows that they wrote for each other and there were tears (the good kind). After this lovely couple said “I do” we walked around the overlook taking memorable photos. Finally, we headed back to their airbnb where we took a few more photos with their fur baby. It was a gorgeous, wonderful, and loving day for these two and I was so happy to be apart of it.

Emily & Channing decided that they wanted to elope in the newest national park for their special day. They picked one of the most scenic overlooks in the New River Gorge National Park to elope at. They were surrounded by only their immediate family and their super cute baby boy. They did a first look at the scenic Beauty Mountain and Channing’s reaction was incredible. After the first look, we explored around to get their amazing and adventurous bride & groom portraits! We walked back to their ceremony location where they exchanged lovings vows and said, “I do!” We got some family formals with those who attended and cut the cake and had dinner back at their airbnb! Congrats to these newlyweds!

Janna & Luke’s elopement began with a super sweet first look at the overlook at the Blackwater Falls Lodge. Once we did the first look, we got some great portraits of these two before their ceremony. Next came their intimate ceremony where their close family attended. Janna & Luke exchanged their vows and tied the knot! After the ceremony, we got some great family formals and then headed to Elakala Falls for some more bride & groom portraits. We got to get right at the base of the falls for some amazing photos. Next we drove over to Lindy Point and hiked out to the overlook for the rest of their portraits. We got some great views at Blackwater Falls and gorgeous photos of Janna & Luke for their elopement.

Brooke & Thomas were so much fun to work with for their elopement. I got to know these two initially with their elopement consult and learned so much about them and their relationship. This amazing couple had so many adventures together and that was definitely the best way to describe their elopement. Brooke & Thomas travel to the New River Gorge National Park often and always seemed to come back to the same stunning overlook in the park. They knew that this place was where they wanted to say, “I do.” Once their special day came, it wasn’t as stress free as you may think! This same day was full of rain and Brooke and I were constantly checking the weather reports to see if we needed to change locations or not. Luckily for us, the rain passed just in time. Though to get to this overlook, you have to scale up a wall with nothing but your shoes and a rope so with the rain and mud, we made the call to change at the top of the overlook. Once we got everyone to the top, this family changed into their elopement attire and began their ceremony! These two exchanged loving vows in front of Brooke’s beautiful children as well as Thomas’ sister. This intimate elopement was nothing short of perfect. We grabbed some beautiful photos of everyone and these wonderful people went off to celebrate their new marriage!
