A Kiss to Remember
Picture this: the couple, hand in hand, somewhere breathtakingly remote. With only a handful of loved ones (and an officiant who’s sworn to secrecy), they exchange vows filled with laughter and tears. Once those heartfelt “I do’s” leave their lips, they lean in for that first kiss — an instant where every ounce of stress and planning drifts away. It’s my absolute favorite moment to photograph, because it’s like watching all the joy in the world get wrapped up in one gentle embrace. This final seal of their marriage feels almost magical. And sure, I love every second of an elopement — the quiet hikes to secret spots, the giggles over mispronounced vows — but something about that kiss just stops time.
Blue Hour
Sophia and Jean Francois exchanged vows by a tranquil lake at sunset, with golden candles reflecting off the deep blue water. As dusk turned to twilight, a soft glow lent a dreamy touch, making their moment unforgettable.
Hello, this is Liza!
I am so happy a wedding guest took this photo of me at work, and now I can share it here with you!
I am sure there is someone clever out there who can come up with a worthy, or at least funny caption for this photo!
Note For Photographers:
I have a few tips for you that made this winter session easier and more fun to shoot:
For the mess-free but impactful joy-inducing celebration I like to bring along paper hand streamers, they come in different colors or in wedding-white, and they are easy and quick to clean up, which is important for keeping outdoors wild and trash free: Streamers
To keep your hands warm, but fingers free for using your camera controls, I wear merino wool fingerless gloves, pro tip - stay away from anything with lose fibers or fur: Fingerless Gloves
To shoot my phone BTS I bring along this tripod stand with remote - I like the compact design and how sturdy it is, it can be a selfie stick or a tripod, plus it comes in wedding white: Tripod Stand
