North Georgia Sunrise Elopement - Roswell, GA

Karina & Andy got married on Oct 16th, 2022 and a year later decided to get dressed up again to celebrate their 1 year anniversary with a dreamy canoe sunrise anniversary session! We met just before sunrise at this beautiful lake and heard the birds chirping, along side some drilling and construction noises going on right next to us (LOL - the things you don’t see in the pictures!). It ended up being such a magical morning and I’m so happy I got to capture these moments for them.

I’ve known Karina for over a decade now and she has truly helped shape my photography career - particularly from the beginning. She was my first subject and we would hangout almost everyday, take pictures together, and bask in creativity. We were 12 at the time, but I learned so much just by practicing and shooting so often, and Karina was always down for any of my ideas.

Flash forward 6 years, and we were roommates together in college! And now, we are both entering our adult lives with our partners (both named Andrew)! Karina & Andy are such a sweet, loving couple and I can’t thank them enough for spending this perfect morning in front of my camera. Getting up early can be really hard sometimes, but it’s always worth it for the peace and quiet of a sunrise elopement.

I hope you love these photos as much as I do - if you ever want to do an anniversary session or vow renowal somewhere epic (with or without a canoe!) please reach out!! I have tons of ideas and I can’t wait to bring your vision to life. xx
