It was just two days after the quiet elopement at the rustic Black Angus Ranch that our daring couple decided to have their 'engagement party'. And what a party it was! Nestled in the heart of Peregrin Mereweather, an idyllic location known for its grandiose architecture, the atmosphere was abuzz with joyous chatter and the clinking of champagne glasses. Little did the guests know that they were actually attending a wedding reception.
The couple, both of them with a knack for the dramatic and a disinterest in the ordinary, had secretly tied the knot in a private ceremony. Their love story had always been one for the books, so it wasn't a surprise that their wedding followed suit. Instead of the traditional route, they chose to elope, a decision that perfectly encapsulated their adventurous spirits and their desire for intimacy.
The 'engagement party' was a beautifully orchestrated event. As the guests mingled, unaware of the surprise that awaited them, the couple reveled in their secret. The air was thick with excitement, the delight of the couple, infectious. It was hard not to get swept up in the romance of it all, the sense of being a part of something truly special.
The reveal was nothing short of spectacular. As the couple took the stage to thank their guests for joining them, they dropped the bombshell. The gasps of surprise, the applause, the cheers that echoed through Peregrin Mereweather were unforgettable. It was a moment of pure, unadulterated joy, a celebration of love that was as unique as the couple themselves.
The highlight for me was the blame game! This was my first time seeing it at a wedding and let me tell you there is nothing quite so fun as a little bit of affectionate teasing between lovers.
@timelessbynate What a great idea for a reception! We love some affectionate roasting 🤌

Their decision to elope and then surprise their loved ones with a reception was a testament to their love for each other and their determination to do things their way. It was a bold move, but then again, they were a bold couple.
Their story is a reminder that love is not one size fits all. It's about finding what works for you and your partner and embracing it wholeheartedly. Their 'engagement party' turned wedding reception was a celebration of their love, their way. And at the end of the day, isn't that what it's all about? This wedding photographer feels blessed to have been able to have captured such key moments in this lovely (and so in love with each other) couple's life. I truly wish them all the best and am excited that everything I captured will continue to be more and more important as the years go on as this is truly only the beginning for their family.
