I'm a year late, but on their anniversary I'm sharing Justin + Raya's VEGAS elopement! HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY YOU TWO! If you're interested in all the perks of an elopement, but with the fun of a party with your closest friends...then take some pointers from these two! You might've previously seen my blog posting about Raya's maternity + newborn photos - linked HERE - but I was lucky enough for these two to take me to Vegas with them as well!

They had traveled from Fort Mac for Thanksgiving weekend and I was lucky enough to be able to shoot them. Bring us to February - and they had an appo

First you might be wondering "if the photographer is the second most important thing, what's the first?" The answer would be: you and your partner's love, duh.
