amanda + matthew | intimate elopement
los olivos, ca

Oct 22

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!

Hi Joel!

I have seen and loved your work (shamefully, mostly through Jose’s prompting) and it is gorgeous and inspiring and I hope you are shooting some memories for some of my couples soon! Lovely!

Absolutely beautiful! Truly showcases what weddings should really be about- the love & commitment of two people.
