Santee Courthouse Elopement │Krysta + Adam

in

Krysta and Adam reached out to me to shoot their San Diego wedding, pre-COVID days when the world was a simpler place. Like many couples, they had to re-think their initial plans to have a big wedding in 2020. They knew they still wanted to get married on their original wedding date, but switched up their plans to elope in San Diego instead. They decided on a more intimate celebration with just a few family members surrounding them, and to save the big party for later.

Wow. I have really struggled to find the words for these two. Words that bring them, this elopement session, and their sweet marriage justice.

For a little backstory, Emily reached out to me back in 2019 to photograph her and Chris’s intimate ceremony and elopement in Sorrento, Italy for June 2020. And we all know what happened from here. A pandemic that’s halted a lot of plans for a lot of people. Emily and Chris decided to elope anyway, but they decided to do it locally in the DC area instead. Then this spring, they reached out to me and told me they were coming to San Diego for a little getaway and wanted to have their photos taken while dressed in their wedding attire.

in , , , , , ,

First of all, deep breaths! That’s survival tip #1. Though breathing is actually super beneficial, I know it doesn’t solve all your thwarted wedding plans due to coronavirus. If you need to postpone your wedding/celebration because the people on your guest list are your rocks and you want them a part of your day - YOU do YOU.
