When Blaire first reached out to me about her elopement in Airlie Gardens for early April in 2026, I knew it was going to be magical.  Blaire was planning her wedding to happen during the gardens most beautiful blooms.  The azaleas and tulips were out in full force and everything was just perfection.  Blaire and her fiancé, Walker, only had a small handful of family and friends for the ceremony.  The gust of honor though was definitely Walkers seeing eye dog, Loki.  Even though we only had one hour in the gardens for the ceremony and portraits, we used that time to our fullest and got so many gorgeous photos.
