Can you guess their favorite musical? (WORK!) always so much fun with this family and now even more so that we share good taste in musicals #smalllbusinessowner #smallbusinesssaturday #redlandsbusinessowner #redlandsfamilyphotographer #redlandsweddingphotographer #yucaipafamilyphotographer

Here’s something super fun: your family directly supports MY family! Every time you book a session, refer me to friends or family, buy prints, or book a wedding with me I actually do a happy dance! You help my kids get new clothes. You help me support other small businesses. And you also support me in my dream job. So thank you thank you thank you for your support and love every year but especially this year (can we all agree 2020 has been a doozy?) Much love on Small Business Saturday! #smalllbusinessowner #smallbusinesssaturday #redlandsbusinessowner #redlandsfamilyphotographer #redlandsweddingphotographer #yucaipafamilyphotographer

Another great reason to elope? Your day is your own! On a typical wedding day, time is usually tight which means there isn’t a lot of time to take all the pictures you want in all the places you want. Because Lauren and Travis had flexibility in their day, it meant we could start in the mountains and end our time in the city. These two met while working at Don’s Bike Shop so of course we had to make a stop there! We also made a trip to downtown Redlands to visit the new mural outside Emerson’s. When planning your elopement, think of what pictures would make you truly happy and I can make them happen!

Let’s hear it for all the talented hair and makeup professionals! Like photographers, they can really set the tone for a wedding day. It was a blast working with Kimtsy and Tristen at Lauren and Travis’ adventure session. Everyone was all smiles, even under their masks! If you’re looking for Inland Empire professionals, look no further! As a reminder, if you’re thinking of eloping during this time... Let me know! Most HMUA are offering bride only packages and I am offering elopement packages as well! #covidelopement #covidelopementphotographer #covidwedding #loveisnotcancelled #redlandsweddingphotographer #yucaipaweddingphotographer #inlandempireweddingphotographer

So excited to share this COVID elopement! It will definitely be featured in multiple posts, that's how thrilled I am for Lauren and Travis. After COVID changed their plans for a large Washington wedding, they contacted me to do an adventure session before their small elopement. I feel like flexibility and going-with-the-flow are important parts of a successful marriage, so these two are going to be just fine! Keep your eyes open for more from this amazingly fun day and congrats Lauren and Travis! Just a reminder: Love is not cancelled! If you'd like to change your wedding package to an elopement, I'm open to talking about it. Let's still celebrate!
