Stephanie & Ariel’s Elopement

Stephanie and Ariel got married at Castle Otttis with just their moms and a small group of family — exactly the low-key day they were after. The ceremony took place inside the castle's stone chapel, with a wooden cross at the altar and a spiral staircase winding up behind them. After, they did portraits inside the tower — her veil trailing across the stone floors, him stationed at the railing while she stood in the background — and we also got introduced to the tortoise that lives on the grounds. The reception wrapped up the evening at Casa Monica, where the two of them were framed through a Moorish arch next to a floor-to-ceiling wine wall.
