A Retro Minimalist Valentine Elopement With Three Dresses!

Retro Minimalist Midwest Valentine Elopement

Emma and Lucas had an amazing wedding with all their nearest and dearest, but during the wedding planning process, they shared with their wedding planner that they would have loved to elope and have an intimate ceremony just the two of them. We get that. The wedding with all your family + friends is an amazing day, but sometimes you also want to soak it in just the two of you. ❤️

Emma also LOVES fashion and dreamt of getting some gorgeous portraits of the two of them that they didn’t have time for on her wedding day….well, Courtney (their wedding planner) decided to make their dreams come true with this stunning retro Valentine’s Elopement!

From Courtney, “The bride’s favorite holiday is Valentines Day and they love going to Vegas – so we tried to bring all those themes together for this really fun elopement shoot!

This session is the perfect inspo for those couples that dream of an intimate day just the two of them – with lots of fashion and fun as well! Let’s take a look at all the moments Inner Images & Taylor Jean Photography captured!
