YOU CAN'T STOP LOVE - In recent days, some of our Erie wedding photographer vendors have expressed their desire to accommodate couples who don’t want to wait to be married and are rushing the ceremony.
Many couples have recently discovered that less is more when it comes to wedding planning in Erie, and those small weddings allow them to truly enjoy every aspect of their day. These intimate events allow brides and grooms to be fully present, as they are less worried and intimidated about the sheer size and scope of the day. While they may be planning a sweet and simple Erie elopement, couples still want to have their wedding day documented. It's important to work with a WPJA Erie photographer who specializes in elopements and who understands the unique dynamic of this type of event. The right photographer will capture the events of the day, the atmosphere of the event and the most important details.
The WPJA has an abundance of top-ranked, Erie documentary wedding photographers available right now who understand that some weddings and elopements can’t wait. Find yours today!
