Naima & Avery’s Elopement

This one was personal. Avery's dad is one of my best friends, and I've watched Avery grow up over the years. When we heard what they were looking for—trees, nature, a dock over a pond, ducks, about 50 guests—we offered our backyard. Their wedding was held at Casa Futrell, and my best friends worked the day with me: Jon Noeth on video, and Chase and Parks DeLa Cruz live streaming the ceremony for Naima's mother in Austria who couldn't make it due to last-minute travel issues. These two are raw milk enthusiasts and sealed their vows with a raw milk toast after some heartfelt speeches. Getting to photograph them here, at our home, surrounded by the people we all love—it doesn't get better than that.
