Kelli + Nathan , 4th of July Elopement
Elopements are amazing in that they usually offer more time and freedom for creative portraits, which is a dream for us photographers. The ceremony took place at a cute little bed and breakfast in Woodland, Utah, called the Woodland Farmhouse Inn. The Inn is beautifully kept, with cute barns and sheds along the driveway leading up to it. Horses graze in the fields surrounding the property. After the ceremony we took a short drive up Mirror Lake Highway, where isolated thunderstorms followed close behind us. When we finally got a step ahead, the dark sky opened up to the sunset to reveal its golden hues. Nearby we found a quiet aspen grove and then wandered over to the Provo river to cast a line in and listen to the water as the last bit of light finally faded. We returned to the city just in time to hear fireworks.
Kelli and Nathan waited a long time to find each other. Their elopement is featured in the ‘galleries’ section on Utah Bride & Groom’s blog.

Now that Kelli and Nathan have tied the knot, they have big plans to travel the world together in search of adventure! Congrats Kelli and Nathan!
