I asked him if he would be open to an elopement happening in his space. It’s a small studio space in the heart of North Florence, AL. I had just shot a bridal session at my friend Abraham Rowe’s studio. Where could they elope in North Alabama? Could they stay local to Florence and have a micro-wedding in town? They came to me for elopement ideas, since I do this pretty often. As soon as they told me we were rearranging their day, I had a few ideas to guide them. ![]() This pandemic was not going to stop them from celebrating their love though! Like most couples who planned to wed in 2020, they whipped out their back plan.

I watched them progress from their first date to THEIR PROPOSAL (so thoughtful you need to check it out) and finally their marriage. I remember when Blaine started dating Emma and how excited he was to be with someone so freakin’ cool. Emma and Blaine met at a West Means Home show and bonded over music.
