An Intimate Celebration: Shannon & Owen’s Elopement at Crystal Lake

When Shannon and Owen asked me to capture their intimate elopement at Crystal Lake in August, I knew it would be a day filled with meaningful moments — and it truly was.

As a wedding photographer, I’m always honored to capture the essence of a couple’s special day. For Shannon and Owen, that meant everything from quick glances to the joyous laughter that followed an unexpected cake situation (a sweet reminder that sometimes the best memories are the unplanned ones).

Despite some raindrops, their day felt like a dream: candles flickered, bouquets bloomed, and love radiated in every moment. It was the kind of celebration that made you forget the world, focusing solely on the connection between two souls starting their forever together.

Shannon and Owen’s elopement wasn’t just about the big moments — it was about the small, quiet ones too, the ones that truly make a wedding day unforgettable. Whether I’m capturing your day on an iPhone as your wedding content creator or preserving your story as your photographer, I’m here to ensure no special moment goes missed.

It was a joy and privilege to be a part of this love-filled day.
