Elopements: Traditional and Modern
The oldsters among the WPJA ranks no doubt remember when 'to elope' meant, in Merriam-Webster’s definition, “to run away secretly with the intention of getting married, usually without parental consent.” Many wedding photographers have gone on the lam with couples who did just that.

Dearest Gabriele, Thank you for the slideshow!! We have been travelling since Friday (from Mykonos to London, and then we just returned to Sydney) and I've finally had the chance to view the slideshow properly on my lap top. It's AMAZING!! I'm so happy. The whole day was like a dream and just whizzed by without really being able to take everything in....so its so lovely that you captured all the important moments. You are a true artist through and through. We will be in touch again once the jetlag ceases! Alison & Pauly
