There is nothing sweeter than an intimate elopement. When Chung reached out months ago (all before a global pandemic hit) that she was planning an elopement, I was excited! We have known Chung for a few years through the wedding industry and we felt honored that she would choose us to be the lucky few to witness her and Stephen get married. On top of that, Chung has a level of detail and style, both in appearance and style- that I knew this would be a dream to photograph.
With a slight postponement for their elopement, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. The weather was lovely and they started their day getting ready at the new Hotel Carmichael and they said their I Do’s at the historic Lilly Mansion at Newfields.
Stephen & Chung, we couldn’t be happier for the two of you in this new (and long awaited) chapter in your lives. Thank you for choosing us to be a part of it all.

I loved everything about this elopement and we couldn’t help but be a long time fan of Chad & Melanie. These two have been together for so long and we would often see them together at past weddings we photographed. So when they finally got engaged, we weren’t surprised, and then when Melanie reached out to me several months ago saying that they were planning an elopement, we were beyond excited!
Flash forward to Coronovirus and things felt as if for a moment things would be in hold. Thankfully, the date they chose was right after things lightened up and these two were able to say there I Do’s at the beautiful, historic Swan House in Atlanta.
Chad & Melanie, thank you for giving us the honor to capture the two of you. Everything was a dream and we couldn’t be happier for the two of you. Congratulations!
