    Ryan and Elizabeth: A Rockford Courthouse Wedding and Elopement at Anderson Japanese Gardens

    Ryan and Elizabeth contacted me because they wanted a courthouse wedding and they wanted someone to capture it in a special way. They already had a DSLR and Elizabeth knew how to use it, but they wanted to focus on the ceremony and not try to do both things at once. It was a wise…
