THOUGHTS FROM STEPH’S BRAIN
Hey! We’re Sarah (she/her) & LJ (They/Them) and we’ve been together 3 years. We live in Portland, Oregon. We hiked into a beautiful waterfall and exchanged vows and solidified commitments to one another. We chose to elope and it was such a great decision. It felt like it was just the two of us having a very sacred, personal, vow exchange.

I was bummed that I wasn’t more put together as I would have liked to be and was worried of what she was going to think of me. I remember walking into the church and seeing her and my mind just froze and I couldn’t think or feel anything for the rest of the night😂 it was a feeling I have never felt before and I was determined to figure out why this women made me completely blank.

They met on a hot summer day on June 5, 2019 and have been together ever since. They chose their home. In their backyard. They wanted an intimate gathering with close family & friends and had just moved in. The wedding doubled as a housewarming! Here is a little bit of their love story and a few faves from them getting ready in their home…I hope you enjoy it & click thru to see their backyard ceremony. Give them a follow & say hi to these wonderful humans. 🖤
Read MoreDid you know that all of the LGBTQ+ couples below had under 50 people at their wedding? This allowed us to explore. Sure, timelines were there but we had flexibility to be spontaneous. We had time to get creative and pull off the road for those unexpected moments. If you think a micro wedding or elopement might be for you… I’d love to answer any questions for you! I’m here to help.
Read MoreI flew into Los Angeles a few hours before the wedding festivities began. I was greeted by a house full of friends, family and a lot of laughter. It was going to be an exciting day. Beautiful Indian culture, stunning brides & style for miles! Couldn’t ask for more. There was so much love that consumed the SmogShoppe that evening. Congrats Shannon & Seema.
