An Intimate Field Wedding at Sunset

September 14, 2026

Some wedding days announce themselves. This one didn't. It moved at the pace of an afternoon with friends: a pair of white flats set out on an embroidered case, a sheer back being fastened by the window, and then the two of them alone in the grass while the sun dropped behind the tree line. Everything about the day was small on purpose, and the photographs are warmer for it — long shadows across a lawn, butterflies stitched into a dress, a sky going orange over tall grass.

Days like this are exactly what our Elopement collection is built for: up to four hours with one of us, $2,500, which is enough time for the details, the getting-ready, and a golden hour nobody has to hurry through. When it is worth having both of us there is when the day has more moving parts — two getting-ready rooms, a ceremony with a real guest list, or a reception you want covered through the dances. Our Classic and Signature collections include us both for that reason.
