I’ve been hanging out to post these photographs since Bettina and Shane eloped just before Christmas, giving them time to share their news with all their family and friends. I love that this gorgeous pair feature in my last post before hitting the pause button on my wedding photography career.

There's nothing quite as intimate (or as romantic!) as an elopement. Melissa and Matt created their perfect day, starting at the beautiful William Bay Cottages and finishing with a romantic private dinner at Pepper & Salt Restaurant created for them by chef Silas Masih who had opened the restaurant especially for the occasion.
