Eloping to a forest in Washington state wasn’t Halle and David’s first choice when it came to their wedding.  😷 😷  Like many 2020 couples, they had to scratch the wedding they HAD been planning (for a year already!) and rethink their entire day.  👰 🤵  That meant their large, full-day event in Ohio was instead going to be a breathtaking mountain elopement in Port Angeles, Washington with just Steve and I, and their photographer in attendance.  🎥 📸  I know it wasn’t their Plan A, but I cannot imagine a more perfect day!
