You know that moment when you’re so caught up in the magic of your wedding day that you might just forget one tiny detail? Well, sometimes that “tiny detail” happens to be turning in your marriage license! But when you’re a wedding photographer with amazing photographer friends, a forgotten piece of paperwork can turn into the perfect excuse for an intimate elopement celebration.
That’s exactly what happened to Rachel & Aaron, who found themselves planning a sweet do-over celebration just a few months after their original wedding day. And honestly? We’re kind of obsessed with how this love story got a beautiful second chapter.
Stella Shots Media captured every gorgeous moment of this intimate elopement, even snapping a few on film for that extra timeless feel. The photos tell their story so beautifully and show how even the most unplanned celebrations can become the most magical memories.
The star of the show had to be the absolutely stunning red monochrome bouquet by Olive Thyme. This arrangement was pure perfection – rich, romantic reds that basically broke the internet when these photos dropped. The depth and texture of the all-red palette created such a bold, romantic statement that felt both classic and completely modern.
Blush Restaurant opened their doors for this sweet celebration, providing the perfect intimate setting for Rachel and Aaron’s elopement. With Rachel’s best friend Olivia serving as the officiant, and their daughter by their side, the celebration couldn’t have felt more meaningful. And because no celebration is complete without something sweet, Sugar Bite Bakery created the most gorgeous Lambeth cake that was absolutely perfect for the occasion.
Picture this: an intimate gathering, gorgeous red florals that could stop traffic, and two people who were so in love they literally forgot the paperwork the first time around. Talk about a love story that keeps getting better!
