An Intimate Elopement & a Joyful Celebration | Chapman & Harley

Chapman and Harley simply couldn’t wait to start their forever. Though they had originally booked me to capture their wedding day later on, their love story had other plans. They decided to sneak away for an intimate ceremony—just the two of them (and me behind the lens). It was such a special moment to witness and document. The way they looked at each other was pure magic—undeniably full of love, tenderness, and excitement for the life ahead.

Later, they gathered with family and friends to celebrate their union with a beautiful reception at Hodge United Pentecostal Church. Harley spent the afternoon getting ready with her mom and a close friend, soaking in those quiet, meaningful moments. Chapman arrived toward the end of the prep and lovingly helped her with the finishing touches, including slipping on her shoes—such a sweet and thoughtful gesture.

The reception was filled with joy, laughter, and meaningful details. Their wedding cake was a stunning three-tiered heart-shaped design, and Chapman’s groom’s cake? A delicious cookie cake that guests couldn’t get enough of!

Chapman and Harley’s day was a perfect reflection of who they are—romantic, genuine, and full of love. I’m so honored to have been part of it.
