What better day to elope than on the holiday that is dedicated to love, right??
When I envisioned this shoot, I wanted it to be super classy and romantic. From the classic black & white attire, to the heart champagne stirrers and heart balloons, this shoot was all about LOVE! I set up the scene in my studio in Utica, NY. We then did a few outdoor shots in South Utica and ended our shoot at Ocean Blue Restaurant & Oyster Bar in Downtown Utica. I love how this shoot came out, and hope you can get some Valentine's Day inspiration from it!
