I was thrilled to photograph Yu and Brian’s Hunterdon County Courthouse elopement!

It seemed that fate had a hand in bringing Yu, Brian and I together. The stars aligned and I had a rare May Saturday date open on my calendar. We made all the arrangements to work together over the course of 24 hours! Elopements are fun and exciting because they’re often very last minute. In the world of wedding planning, nine months ahead can feel “last minute,” so it’s really fun when the turnaround is so fast.

We decided that two hours of coverage would be just right for photos of their elopement ceremony, signing of the official documents in the Clerk’s Office, family portraits in Flemington’s Court Street Park, and a short drive to their brand new home.

Yu was the epitome of elegance in a beaded sheath gown from White House Bride. My favorite touch was the pop of persimmon suede Jimmy Choo heels peeking out from under the hem of her gown. Hot elopement tip from Yu: Costco makes beautiful bouquets!
