Some mornings change everything. For this couple, their wedding day began not with a procession or a grand hall, but with the hush of the ocean and the glow of first light stretching over East Hampton. The beach gifted them a beginning that was elemental and true: sky, water, sun, and love.
As the sun began to rise, a small circle of their closest loved ones gathered barefoot on the sand. After the lovely ceremony, and still in their wedding attire, the couple sprinted toward the water, hand in hand. Their guests followed in full suits and dresses. They leapt together into the waves, laughter echoing into the morning. The joy was contagious, unfiltered, and cleansing.
This elopement style wedding was documented across three formats: digital, 35mm film, and 120mm medium format film. Each format revealed a different texture of the morning. The result is a set of images that feel alive, echoing the tenderness and spontaneity of the day.
