A Simple and Elegant Elopement full of Love


I met Darcy and Brendyn while I was 7 months pregnant with my first. They decided to have an intimate elopement ceremony at the House Of Refuge Museum and Venue. It had the perfect backdrop of the ocean and the historic tower.


We started with some bridals of Darcy before Brendyn arrived- getting every detail of her simple yet elegant dress down to the bouquet she made herself! Their ceremony was officiated by Darcy's mother making it a super intimate family ceremony. It was full of laughs and each family member said a few words and prayers for the couple as they said their vows. It truly was a beautiful thing to see. Following the ceremony, their family headed over to the restaurant and we began taking their couples portraits. The sunset was everything you would want and more. The blowing rocks and the west facing dock made for amazing photos.
