If you’re reading this because your big wedding dreams have changed due to COVID, I feel you! If you are reading this because you’ve always wanted a small intimate wedding ceremony, you may have had the right idea all along! I was lucky enough to be a part of an intimate wedding ceremony earlier this year. Photographed by the talented Ariele Chapman Photography, these two cuties eloped near the Huntington Beach Library!
It was the beginning of quarantine and the engaged couple reached out to me for a bridal bouquet for their elopement. Tanya, the bride, told me her wedding colors were purple and burgundy, and that she trusted me with the rest! Sometimes those words music to the ears or a floral designers and other creatives. It’s great to have the chance to take the artistic reigns on a creative project. I chose to include a boutonnière for the groom too, which was a surprise to the bride. With very little work during this pandemic, I was so excited and honored to be a part of their celebration.
The newlyweds chose to have their immediate family present at their vows. Everyone social distanced successfully! They found a quiet spot near the Huntington Beach Library and had their intimate ceremony. Their family stood near and rejoiced in their love!
Ariele then took the couple for their romantic wedding portraits, nearby. They had a few moments alone to celebrate their wedding vows together! It was a sweet and exciting time for the newly married couple, and a gorgeous setting for their wedding photos.
If you are thinking about eloping or reducing your big wedding to an intimate ceremony instead, then I encourage you to think about what’s most important - marrying the love of your life and best friend. And don’t forget to include a bridal bouquet plus some awesome photography too!
