The Outer Banks + a golden sunset + a whole lot of love = a beautiful elopement.

Amanda and Gabe's elopement in OBX was intimate, quiet, personable, and exactly what they had hoped for. We started the day getting ready at their beach house, and then walked over to their ceremony location on the beach. Somehow (in July?!) we managed to get the whole beach to ourselves. After saying their vows and being announced as husband and wife, they privately celebrated their first dance to their favorite song. Amanda wanted photos that focused on their love and the ocean, so of course we took all the dreamy couple photos after this. And then a quick truck ride back to the house for cake cutting and celebrating the rest of the night with their family.


Their day could not have been more beautiful and perfectly "them." Sometimes I still kick myself in disbelief that I get to photograph these moments!
