A Wind-Swept Elopement in the Dunes of Provincetown

Connor & Chris

Three years later, and I still think about this one.

Connor and Chris came down from Toronto to say their vows among the dunes of Provincetown. No venue, no aisle. Just the wind, the sand, and the sea. Connor is a graphic designer by trade, and it showed in every detail — from the intentional pacing of the day to the handmade bouquet she created herself. Nothing felt rushed. Nothing felt performative. It was personal, imperfect in the best way, and deeply beautiful.

The elopement took place barefoot under soft skies, with their closest family present. It was one of those days that felt like a page from a novel. Quiet, windswept, and full of heart. They climbed dunes in dress shoes and long skirts. They laughed a lot. They held hands the entire time.

This wedding had all the hallmarks of something timeless: a New England backdrop, the intimacy of chosen family, and a kind of meaning that can’t be staged. It reminded me why I do this work. To witness love in its truest form and document it with reverence.
