Intimate Boho Elopement | Hampton Roads Elopement Photographer | Corey + Sabrina

There are moments and days so beautiful I don't think they will ever be erased from my memory. Saturday was one of those days. Corey and Sabrina have been together for more than 6 years. They share a life and two beautiful children, but there was one more step they wanted to take...officially becoming husband and wife. As they planned their wedding, they realized that the most important thing to them was not a guest count in the hundreds or a venue to die for - it was the lifelong commitment they were about to make to each other.

Nonetheless, Sabrina wanted to feel like a bride - and oh did she accomplish her goal! Her 'microwedding' (since true elopements involve no guests and there were a handful of family present) was a boho-themed dream from start to finish. Her bouquet and flower crown were spilling over with a gorgeous multicolored selection of flowers and eucalyptus. Her long-sleeved wedding dress had buttons running all the way down the back. The first look she and Corey shared near a lavender field was heartfelt, intimate, and absolutely stunning...

The Inn at Warner Hall Wedding | Gloucester Wedding Photographer | Sven + Michelle

It was a beautiful day in May when Michelle and Sven got to the Inn at Warner Hall in Gloucester, ready for a beautiful ceremony and an even more beautiful marriage. Michelle was nervous throughout the day - not at the prospect of marrying Sven, but about all the details that had to be done before that moment. Yet everything came together perfectly, and as she walked down the aisle to her future husband, Sven cried as he grew in anticipation for their many years together that were starting that day.

Sven's family is German, and as such, they are HILARIOUS. Everyone had a blast, from jokes about marrying 'American women' to dancing the night away. It was especially beautiful to see the love between the two families being united as one at the same time. They both spoke of their gratefulness to each other for raising such wonderful children, who have grown and found each other at the perfect time.
