The meadows raleigh elopement – kelsey & taylor

Here are just a few of my fave wedding photographs from Kelsey & Taylor’s elopement at The Meadows a few weeks back.

I love an elopement, so when Kelsey contacted me to photograph her wedding to Taylor the following week I was all in! Weekday weddings are a gift from the gods!

Got to love their little guy crashing the ring exchange! His face as he was walking his dad down the aisle was also pretty priceless – everyone was singing baby shark for him. LOL.

I was only with the couple for a few hours and we managed quite a lot: some getting ready, bridal portraits, groom’s finishing touches, the ceremony, family photos and portraits of the newlyweds. The weather was gorgeous and the The Meadows provided a fantastic backdrop for a good variety of photos.

So, without any further ado, here are my picks of the pics. Congratulations to this lovely couple!
