Ally and Jake’s elopement at the Tarrant County Courthouse was the epitome of laid-back perfection. With no strict timeline or rush, their day felt like a refreshing reminder of what weddings are truly about: celebrating love in its purest form.

We kicked off the morning in my studio, where they prepped and shared some quiet moments together. Then we hopped into my car and made our way to the courthouse, with their parents joining us for a heartfelt ceremony. After capturing some sweet moments around the courthouse, we headed back to my studio for a breather before walking over to Canvas Hotel for celebratory drinks.

The entire day was calm, intentional, and full of joy—proof that elopements can be just as meaningful and memorable as any grand wedding. Honestly, I can’t wait to document more full-day elopements like Ally and Jake’s—it’s such a privilege to tell love stories that feel this personal and unique.
