Graham + Kay | Intimate Courthouse Elopement | Cincinnati, OH

The wedding industry has changed in so many good ways these past few years and one of my favorite change is finding couples that are choosing to do what fits them. Many couples are breaking away from traditional marriage and really making the day their own. Filled with personal touches, skipping out on things that don’t fit their style, wearing something that speaks to them and something they truly feel lovely in, choosing all of their favorite people instead of inviting their parents coworkers and that one family member you haven’t seen in over 10 years.

These weddings are feeling more personal than they ever have been. Not only because couples are taking back their power and truly making it about their love story, but also because I think we have all realized how precious our time really is on this earth. How the day is truly about them and after all of the stress and planning, remembering that what matters at the end of the day is that you are saying yes to the partner that you fell in love with a long or short time ago. How important our time is and how we want to fill it with the people that have supported us and loved us from the beginning. G+K’s elopement was nothing short of those things. It has been so fun to get to know these two over the past year and I only hope that we get to keep helping tell their love story for many years to come.

My favorite parts of a wedding day is being immersed in the love. If you sit quietly enough, you can almost hear it, but mostly, you can feel it. This type of love feels like a warm hug that carries you for the rest of the day. Each smile, little hand grab, tear, embrace. It’s what makes these days so special for us. I hope you can feel this type of love through the photo story we tell below of G+K’s wedding day.
