Sam + Macey Elopement

When Sam and Macey asked me to photograph their top secret elopement I had not idea what March 14 had in store for all of us. The day before their wedding was the National Emergency announcement for Corona virus or Covid 19. We all were already planning a ceremony that was well under the 50 people gathering suggested by the CDC so we went along with the ceremony as planned. I photographed everything with the help of my mini mes both with a camera in hand and an iphone to get the back up video shots.

I love intimate ceremonies but more importantly collaborating with my family. The Husband officiated their wedding. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law were there witnesses. The dogs and kids were included in whole experience. We drove to one of our favorite campsites. We celebrated in the desert with wine and cheese. For the reception, we enjoyed pizza pie (on Pi day get it 3.14?) and cake at their home. We danced in their kitchen and shared well wishes & toasts.

They’ve been in quarantine honeymoon for about a month now and here are their wedding day images. I also just shared the short video on my facebook page here.
