Due to COVID-19 and the uncertainty of the future, G & M decided to turn their big wedding plans into an intimate sunrise elopement. They decided on getting married on the same day that they officially became a couple: October 28th.

The week leading up to their date, it rained hard- every single day. Our Plan B was to find a location with an awning that we could hide under. A beautiful backdrop is always important, but in this situation, the date was more important and the backdrop was a bonus.

It was predicted 80% chance rain the morning of the elopement. However, as much as the uncertainty gave the two unnecessary stress, they decided to roll with it. We had faith that it would pan out in our favor, but just in case, we prayed extra hard the night before, hoping that HE was listening.

And Hallelujah, He did! He gave us a gorgeous sunrise to start that morning with lots of sunshine, beautiful skies and backdrops to work with. From the moment we arrived until the end of their portrait session- not a hint of rain was around. And then one hour after we wrapped up and went about our day, it stormed, but we didn't care.

Congratulations again, you two! It wasn't your original plans, but it was PERFECT!



Portrait sessions were taken after the ceremony both on the beach and in a wooden area nearby.


KIND WORDS:

"Rachelle was supposed to cover our 100-person wedding, but it was postponed due to Covid-19. We decided to do a beach elopement and postpone our celebration. AGAIN, Rachelle worked her magic. Our photos are out of this world. I didn't know we had model potential haha. It is impressive that she fully captured all the moments of our 20-minute ceremony by herself. Every shot captured the beautiful sequence of events and emotions. 100% without a doubt, Rachelle will always be our go to." ~ Melisa & Garret
