Elopements & courthouse days

Four hours, the two of you, and whoever you decided to bring. Two real days here: Gabrielle and Matthew at the Santa Barbara courthouse, and Victoria and Walter, who married at the San Bernardino courthouse and then drove to Prospect Park in Redlands for the portraits. Both photographed the way they happened — no timeline built around pictures, no hour of posing while everyone waits.
