Hey, did you know I photograph weddings and elopements, as well? I had the privilege of photographing Emily and Christopher’s elopement at the Top of Woodland Weddings. While they couldn’t bring their fur babies this wedding venue IS dog friendly. I look forward to doing many more elopements with pups and their people there!
I first met Emily and Christopher with their pups during a mini session at The Farm at Natchez Trace in fall of 2019. Since I am a Pets and Their People Photographer, and their pets couldn’t make the elopement…I snuck a few pics from this session below so you could meet Oti and Mandy also!
Oti, a 12 year old pug, has been a part of Emily’s life since she graduated college. He absolutely hates skateboards, but he loves to eat dirt, snore, and is the bravest little thing. Oti really has no idea how small he actually is! Oti comes from Shakespear’s Othello, but that was quite a mouthful, so it was shortened.
Mandy is a two year old Blackmouth Cur/Hound Mix. She was an unplanned rescue from PetSmart. She is the sweetest, most sensitive hound pup. Because of her intuitiveness and understanding of human emotion, she has been a huge emotional support for Emily, especially during COVID. Being a big snuggler probably helped, too! Mandy loves to run super fast and chase the tennis ball, but the things she hates the most are fire alarms and oranges. Mandy is shortened from her original name “Mandalay”. The rescue organization named all the pups in her litter after casinos. So happy Mandy won the jackpot in finding Emily, Christopher, and Oti!
Enjoy some of my favorite pics from their elopement and mini session!
