It’s always an honor when another wedding photographer trusts you to capture their own wedding day, so when Andrea reached out to me about Justin’s and her small July Outer Banks wedding celebration, I was beyond thrilled!! I am so blessed to have met these two wonderful human beings, and I loved playing a small role in their special day!

From the moment I arrived, I could just feel the joy and anticipation of the day. Both Andrea and Justin made me feel like a part of the family, welcoming me into their day and giving me full creative freedom (a dream!!). They promised their lives to one another, overlooking the ocean, and surrounded by their families and a few of their closest friends. The entire day was so sweet and full of the most beautiful moments!

Justin and Andrea, thank you so much again for allowing me to be a part of this day! It was so easy celebrating you two, and I wish you nothing but the best as you continue in this new chapter as husband and wife! Your wedding was a beautiful beginning to what I’m sure will be an even more beautiful marriage! Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Elarde!
