Kennedy & Tim - Wind & Waterfalls

August 12, 2019 by Ara R. in Elope Adventurously, Elopements

One redheaded fox, one golden-haired stag, one rose-gold gown, one emerald suit, one windswept veil, and romance to fill a cup until it flowed over. Such was the week of Kennedy and Tim’s wedding in the Columbia River Gorge.

After a big, beautiful wedding shindig at Skamania Lodge. we journeyed back out to the Gorge several days later to go waterfall chasing. I was wrapped in merry wind and a real-life fairy story as I stood on rocks, in water, and on golden grass.

Happily Ever After: Tamara & Art's Rooftop Elopement in Seville, Spain

January 24, 2018 by Ara R. in Weddings, Elopements

I met Tamara and Art at the Hotel Inglaterra, where they would later exchange their vows on the rooftop.  Tamara put on her red dress, Louboutin heels, and rose gold jewelry.  As we walked up the stairs to the roof, she beamed at me, making for some of my favorite photographs of the day...

Happily Ever After: Sibel & Manuel's Wahclella Falls Wedding

August 16, 2017 by Ara R. in Weddings, Elopements, Elope Adventurously

"You are enchantingly consuming, and consumingly enchanting."

Sibel's words echo through my mind whenever I look at these photographs.  I remember the laughter, the light beams, the thundering water, and the way Sibel and Manuel looked at each other.  I can see her dad's tears.  Magical mornings like these are to remember forever.
