Katie and Ollie – Sunset Elopement in Shenandoah National Park

bride and groom walking in meadow wide angle - sunset elopement in Big Meadows Virginia

On a chilly autumn evening, Katie and Ollie eloped at Big Meadows in the Shenandoah National Park. Katie let me decide the precise location of their tiny ceremony and so I headed for the best spot I knew. It did not disappoint.

free spirit mountain bridal portrait at sunrise [concept]

free spirit mountain bridal portraits session at sunrise with foraged wildflower bouquet

I’ve been waiting to share this shoot since the day it took place. This is the kind of work I wish to do. The evening before, Aneila and I foraged the wildflowers for the bouquet and wreath on some family land near our house. We woke up at 4am and hit the trail by 5:15. As the fog lifted, a magical scene unfolded. #longlivefilm.
