Elopement + Downtown + Riverside + CA

I love how different each couple's Elopement ends up in downtown Riverside D+G were drawn to my past couples' images, but they also came in with fresh new ideas and visions. I embrace the views through other creatives' eyes! Together, we create some amazing imagery!

Thank you for entrusting me on your intimate elopement day!

They chose to say their I Do's at “Thee Old Chapel” on 14th St, in Downtown Riverside CA. with their immediate family and a few friends.

Thee Old Chapel holds Civil marriages for a fee of $120 you get 30 minutes, they officiate for no longer than 6 minutes, which then gives time for family photos before heading out to downtown riverside for their portrait session.

We had three hours to adventure and explore Downtown Riverside comfortably. D+G did some recon beforehand, so we had a good idea of where we wanted to capture their portraits, which gave us plenty of time to complete all our favorite spots. After the Ceremony at Thee Old Chapel, we completed their Family Photos. We caught some epic shots at the chapel and hopped in our cars to downtown Riverside Historic Courthouse for some more epic shots.Thee Old Chapel,

I give full credit to my groom for this epic shot. The day before, he took a photo of his fiance to show me his vision, and what an Epic outcome!

We covered so much and equally had a lot of fun. If you are thinking about eloping and doing an intimate civil wedding with just your loved ones, remember that it's really all about you! How you choose to celebrate it and with whom is always your decision, and there is never a right or wrong way to do it. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

Spend three hours with me at the minimum to explore, have a relaxed session, and complete all the imagery you envisioned. You'll have an experience to remember for years to come! If you have less time in mind, I will cover a minimum of two hours.

I’d love to hear from you! Let’s chat about your Elopement and or Civil courthouse wedding!

Let’s talk about your vision for your wedding day!
