Elisa and Zaid reached out about photographing their courthouse wedding, and I am so glad they did. Their ceremony was simple, sweet, and personal, with just the two of them, the officiant, and me tucked into the room. There is something really special about witnessing a moment that private, and these two carried such a calm joy that it made the whole thing feel effortless. Once the paperwork and rings were done, we stepped outside into the downtown buzz and let the city become our backdrop.


We wandered along Congress Avenue, stopping wherever the light or the architecture felt right, and they were an absolute delight the entire time. They are a great looking couple, but more than that, they were easy to talk to and quick to laugh, which always makes portraits feel natural. The gallery ended up full of warm, genuine moments that fit them perfectly. Congratulations again to both of you.


If you are planning a courthouse ceremony or a small wedding and want photos that feel personal and relaxed, I would love to work with you. Reach out and let us create something meaningful together, full of quiet moments that still carry weight.
