The elopement that changed the game for me. - Peop

The elopement that changed the game for me.
-
People often wonder what big stories I have, if I have a favorite venue, or if I have seen any monumental changes in my work. It’s a difficult question for me to answer because there are many reasons to love many different types of weddings.
-
But yes, there are a few weddings that stand out to me through my career as a wedding photographer. This is one of those weddings.
-
And it’s not particularly for the look of the elopement, because these two are super cute, there’s no doubt about that.
-
It stands out in my mind for the ✨ trust. ✨
-
Amanda and Brett wanted to elope outside of the US but couldn’t due to the pandemic. They asked for me to pick a location that had interesting natural elements to it at the Oregon Coast.
-
Ultimately, the landscape was their decor. They trusted me, as their expert, to pick the spot.
-
Following my advise, they chose to do a sunrise ceremony to ensure the most privacy on the public beach. It was quiet, calm, and crazy foggy. We wandered the beach together as I pointed out a few locations I scouted previously for optional ceremony spots, and they fell in love with the drama of this rock.
-
Myself and @nathanochoa were their sole witnesses along side of their officiant.
-
After the ceremony and after the paperwork was signed, the sun started carving its way through the fog and gave us the most gorgeous coastal light I’ve ever seen. ✨
-
🤗 So now onto WHY this wedding stands out to me as a game changer in my career:
-
In the wedding world, a lot of us vendors deal with self doubt. Often. After this elopement, it was like a switch went off in my brain. It was letting me know that yes, I did in fact know what I was doing. It’s possible for the right couples will fully trust in my vision and let me try all of my weird ideas and the outcome can in fact be better than they even imagined. 🥹
-
That’s when my career absolutely exploded.

That moment when wedding clients turn into forever

That moment when wedding clients turn into forever clients. 🥹
-
Some of my couples decide to have kiddos and invite me into those milestones full of celebration. Announcements, maternity sessions, newborn sessions, and family photos as their kid(s) grow.
-
Although my main job is being a wedding photographer, walking along side of my couples as they take next steps and join me for annual portraits is such a rewarding part of my job. It becomes so much more than just “one day” and instead a lifetime of memories captured with the same TMinspired experience.
-
I take a lifestyle approach to newborn sessions. Everything is so new to them, little ones are so much more comfortable in their own element that we have a better chance of a happy babe.
-
We swaddle them up, place them in their crib, and I have their parents take turns holding and smooching their cheeks. Any props we use were already purchased by the parents.
-
Sessions still allow time for nursing/bottle feeding, diaper changes, etc, whatever the babe might need. I’m just here to meet you where you’re at and take those cozy photos that you can cherish for generations to come.
-
This style might not be what you’re used to with studio work of newborn photos, and if that’s what you’re seeking, I’m not the photographer for you. But that’s okay! Those types of photos are also so sweet and I’ll let the experts have their space in that.
-
This type of session just feels so much more like “home” to me, you know?
