Pilar and Jarad approached us in the last week of November with a request you don’t get every day. After 7 years of being together, loving each other, and traveling the world, they wanted to give their families (and themselves) a special Christmas present by eloping this weekend! We were especially honored because not only were we the photographers, as they told us the day of, we were two of only three other people (the third being the officiant, Ivory Morgan Burton of Storybook Events) who were in on their plans!

We met in beautiful, historic Williamsburg for the wedding which was held at an amphitheater on the College of William and Mary campus. The weather was perfect and we had the most gorgeous natural light you could hope for at an outdoor wedding. We captured Pilar and Jarad’s bridal portraits in and around Colonial Williamsburg.

Pilar, Jarad, thank you so much for making us a part of your very intimate ceremony. We hope as you share these photos with your friends and family, they can get a sense of just how beautiful your special day was.You guys are a fantastic couple! – Michael and Carina
