Real Wedding | Magical and Intimate Park Elopement

We get in so many real weddings but there are times when we get submissions in that just speak to us…..this is one of them. I swear it’s something about the emotion that I immediately see when looking at these images. And then to see a magical and intimate park elopement that just resonates with so much love, that’s what it’s all about. Sometimes it’s not about the glitz and glamour but about the love that two people share. It makes our hearts so full!!!

HOW DID THE TWO OF YOU MEET? We met at work years ago when we were seeing other people. We met at an improv show years later when we were both single and have been together ever since.

YOUR ADVICE FOR OTHER PLUS SIZE BRIDES: Wear what makes you feel gorgeous, and stop caring about how much space you take up. Your body is your home, and should be cared for and loved as such. I was so worried I would hate my pictures because I had to order the biggest dress and it barely fit, but the size of my body will never dictate my beauty, or take away from the happiness I felt in this moment.
