From  Bessie Young Photography

Nestled in the Sierra Nevada Forest with not a soul to be seen, an elopement was happening. Love and intimacy filled the air as the candles flickered and the pine trees rustled through the breeze. This elopement was only about two people in love. 

As the evening grew cold the bride and groom snuggled together. The first dance was beautiful as the two danced on a faux fur rug. The couple brought out a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon and toasted to each other, to their love, as well as spending the rest of their lives together. 

A group of small business women came together to create this beautiful wild mountain elopement. It was magical, sweet, and full of love and laughter. The idea behind the styled shoot was to keep it wild, adventurous, and all about the bride and groom. We wanted to keep it simple with rustic touches. This styled elopement turned out exactly the way we all expected.
