Our Urban Elopement

You may have already heard my big elopement surprise earlier this month on social media and I'm excited to share more of my favorite images! Just before Christmas, my husband Read and I gathered with our four kids for an intimate ceremony at Hope Light Studio in Portland, Oregon for a simple, yet meaningful moment to make our commitment official with the people who matter most. Santa may have come early this year, but our hearts were already full of gratitude as we stepped into this next chapter together. I’m endlessly thankful to my dear friend and talented colleague Kaory with Near and Dear Photo Co. for capturing our day so beautifully and trusting me to edit them in my own style. Huge appreciation also goes to Solabee Flowers & Botanicals for the stunning florals that brought the space to life, and to Makeup by Shana for making me feel like myself, just elevated. This day was simple, intentional, and overflowing with love—and I’m so grateful for the support of our family, friends, and community as we begin this season as a married family of six.
