An Intimate Chamonix Wedding: A Romantic Elopement in the French Alps
There’s something undeniably magical about a wedding in the French Alps, and this intimate elopement in Chamonix was nothing short of breathtaking. With a blend of old-world charm, crisp mountain air, and the perfect touch of fall, this celebration was one for the books—I truly will never get over how lucky I am to have documented Ash + Caroline’s intimate day here.
The day began with a stroll through the storybook town of Chamonix. A + C wandered through cobblestone streets, perused a local market, and stepped into a charming bookstore, taking in the timeless beauty of this Alpine village. They thoughtfully picked out a book to commemorate their day and selected postcards to write their vows—a heartfelt detail that added depth to their already meaningful celebration.
Ashley and Caroline exchanged vows in the serene embrace of the French Alps, as the handwritten words on their postcards becoming smattered with raindrops.
Capturing the Day on Digital and Film
I worked with both digital and film to document this wedding. The soft grain of film beautifully complemented the misty mountain scenery, while digital images allowed for crisp details and vibrant colors—especially in the golden hues of fall.
From the intimate moments in town to the breathtaking ceremony in the Alps, every part of this wedding felt deeply personal and poetic. Chamonix has a way of making time slow down, allowing couples to be truly present in their love story, and this elopement was a perfect example of that magic.
