The Elopement~Gloria & Ian

I recently had the honour of photographing a romantic elopement a local winery. Though it was devoid of flowers, frills and fanfare, there was a great deal of warmth, love, and emotion, and these pictures highlight it well.

It started with the special people of the day, bride, groom and minister.

The pledges...hers,

and his...

The Celtic ribbon ceremony,

With this ring I thee wed.

First married kiss...

the Registry to make it official...

A very loving maid of honour and best man stealing their own kisses in the vineyard.

Together Forever...

The Celebration:

The toasts

The Dancing...

and lots of kissing...

A special moment in the vineyards

and another...

A few more quiet moments...

the dreamy bride...

the garter...ooh la la!

the Mister and Missus...

and then....a romantic kiss in the rain before departure.

and so they are swept off their feet in love,

Gloria and Ian together forever.
