Amanda + Chase booked me earlier in 2020, around the time COVID became serious in the United States, for their December 2020 wedding. As the months passed by there were more uncertainties, especially within the event industry. The couple decided to carry on with their plans of getting married, but with a small, intimate vibe to keep family and friends safe.

The couple planned an elopement at the courthouse Downtown Orlando for a quick ceremony. I met the couple outside for photos. The Downtown courthouse is a newer building, so there were many nooks just outside the courthouse that was perfect for backdrops. After we were done taking photos at the downtown courthouse, we drove to a lake nearby called Cherokee Lake where I took more beautiful photos of the couple. After photos were taken the couple met up with family for a small reception dinner.

Covid has shifted many of our plans, but one thing that didn’t change was the plan to Marry.

Happy 1 month- ish to the Newlyweds!

Bride went with Lulu’s for her dress and a local Orlando Trader Joe’s for DIY Florist.
