Matthew and Amanda aren’t like most couples. Instead of a booking a huge venue and throwing a crazy expensive wedding, Matt + Amanda wanted to do something more ‘them’. They wanted an intimate ceremony with just their son, Jack, and their pastor in attendance. – Cameron Ingalls
Cameron Ingalls notified me he was going to be in the area and was documenting this awesome elopement, I was not shooting a wedding that weekend and suddenly remembered that I had just purchased another super 8mm camera and I wanted to test a roll. I asked Cameron if he thought it would be ok for me to come along and gift a roll of super 8mm to this couple, and WHAM next thing you know…I was in the car rushing to make the quick intimate ceremony! Check out the awesome photos Cameron snapped of them here
Thank you Amanda + Matthew for allowing me to be a part of your celebration!
