Karina inquired with me about her courthouse elopement and emphasized she still wanted an editorial, elevated look even though they weren’t hosting a big wedding. That Friday morning started with a huge deluge of rain but gave way to the prettiest morning light for our time together. Karina wore the cutest puff-sleeve organza dress and gathered a bouquet of lilies. She and Joel were so giddy as they exchanged vows downtown in front of the Chattanooga courthouse. After they were married, we took bridal portraits along the bridge and then ended in West Village. This was such a sweet, intimate morning celebrating Karina and Joel, and they were effortless to photograph. More courthouse elopements like this please. :’) Scroll all the way through for 35mm film I also took!
