A Day at The Ritz | Caitlin’s Beautiful London Elopement Wedding

Some mornings stay with you forever and this was one of them!

I travelled to London on the during the very early hours on a Friday morning to get my beautiful bride Caitlin ready for her elopement wedding who travelled all the way from Florida! As I arrived at The Ritz, I was warmly welcomed by a chauffeur who helped me with my kits before entering the grand doors of The Ritz London. As I walked through, it truly took my breath away. I had to pause for a moment to take it all in!

Caitlin made the beautiful decision to elope in the UK and I absolutely loved her vision. No grand crowd, no fuss... just her and her love Francis, sharing the most meaningful moments together while Weddings by Emma Olivia captured it all so effortlessly.

Although we didn’t get the chance to meet in person beforehand, we connected so much in the lead-up. Through our conversations, we explored her bridal vision in depth and I got a real feel for the kind of look that would reflect her. When the day arrived, I took my time crafting a look that felt just like her.

There’s something so special about elopements. To be part of Caitlin’s morning, especially in such an iconic place as The Ritz, was a true honour.

Caitlin, thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me with such a precious part of your journey. Your day reminded me exactly why I do what I do — not just to help brides feel beautiful, but to ensure they feel held, seen and deeply cherished as they step into one of life’s most magical moments.

With all my heart,
