Carly & Josh.. what a pair. These two decided to elope in Meadowlark Botanical gardens with only their parents and last living grandmother. Their siblings didn’t even know! This intimate ceremony took place during the first snow fall of winter in Northern Virginia. What a way to start 2019!

Carly got ready in a white cocktail dress at her childhood home with her mother. She got so excited when the snow started coming down! We then all drove to Meadowlark, a short 5 minutes from their home. Carly & Josh did a quick first look and we all walked to the pavilion together. They pledged forever on the dock with only 6 people watching (myself included). They toughed the chilly weather for some outside portraits before heading to their favorite Italian restaurant to celebrate with family. I adored this day so much! Here are my favorite snaps from their elopement!
