Robert + Betsy, an Intimate Ten Thousand Waves Elopement

Right in the middle of our insanely busy summer wedding season we got to spend the most quiet, perfect weekday with lovers Robert and Betsy for their elopement. These cuties made it official at the iconic Ten Thousands Waves Japanese Resort and it was truly perfection.

Even though these two worked next door to each other, Robert and Betsy initially met online and had an immediate attraction. After a while, these two knew it was meant to be and decided that they wanted to be together forever. Robert and Betsy opted out of a big wedding for a tiny elopement; they were officially married at the Santa Fe Courthouse with only their witnesses, officiant, and Betsy’s mom (on FaceTime!) present.

Robert and Betsy decided to celebrate their union with a mini staycation at Ten Thousand Waves, a place that reminds them deeply of their treasured Japan trip from a few years ago. These lovers incorporated a few soft, minimalist details into their including a dreamy bouquet, custom ring, and coordinating linen attire for an effortlessly simple feel. We loved exploring this special location on the most stellar summer day with these angels.

Cheers to more dreamy little elopements in all the amazing, unconventional locations, we’re so down for it all!!
