On a Saturday in Houston, Texas these two eloped outside the courthouse with all their closest family & friends surrounding them. Of course this was during baseball season & it just so happened the couple were big fans of the Astros & that came to be a hot topic on wedding day. The officiant was telling them how that’s where he was headed after he did the job of officiating their wedding ceremony & naturally his wife brought him his Astros baseball cap, so he could be in fashion for the couple. I love how this small detail, will forever be imprinted in their memory when they think of their elopement/wedding day. Micela & Charles were wanting a simple day to celebrate their love for one another. The couple has been together for 7 years, they didn’t feel the need to spend a ton of money on something they wanted to be true to them & wanted an intimate moment without the pressure of a traditional wedding. It was a chill, humid, cloudy afternoon in the city of Houston. After these two were officially married, we walked around the courthouse, admired the beautiful oak trees & I captured the couple. I had them look & hold one another, & bask in the just married feelings. I want my couples to take it all in, feel the emotions, & look at your surroundings. Especially because when you’re eloping in the city, you are the main character!

We walked on over the Main Street & took more photos afterwards we popped in to a bar a grabbed a drink, especially water, because it was a May day in Texas & we were dying of sweat & humidity. I talked with the couple & just got to know them & hear about their life plans. To me I love doing this, I had been working with them for a year & to finally meet them & talk was such a full circle moment. I love how life brings people together & this was one of those moments.

I loved every minute of this day & these photos take me back as if I was in a time machine, so enjoy a peek of The Elliott’s Elopement.

POV: When the couple are big Astros fans & the officiant says he’s attending the game right after this… it’s only right to have him wear his Astros baseball cap!
