I first met Natalia and Zac at the beginning of 2022 when they reached out about their engagement session. Although they don’t currently live in Chicago, Zac was born and raised in Chicago, and they couldn’t think of a better city to have their engagement session! After a beautiful sunrise engagement session in downtown Chicago, they reached out asking if I captured elopements, and a year later, I was flying out to the West Coast for their elopement!

Their intimate wedding took place on the Oregon coast and it felt like it was out of a movie. The weather was perfect, the waves were slowly washing up and the haze created the dreamiest backdrop to their ocean-view wedding. The ceremony was so beautiful, there were so many tears, it was so full of love and it really shows that no matter how big or small your wedding is, as long as you’re surrounded by people who care for you that’s all that matters. After they said their vows, we spent the next hour running around on the beach and capturing Natalia and Zac’s wedding day bliss. Once we were done at the beach, we headed back to their cabin to cut the cake and take some celebratory tequila shots.

The funniest part was that night, my Fiancé and I went back to that same beach and ran into N+T again! It was a perfect day, the perfect wedding with the perfect couple and I wish them all the best.
