Tahira and Thomas reached out to me to have their courthouse wedding photographed. This has become almost a personal specialty for me. I have now snapped at least five different elopements at the Mecklenburg County Courthouse. Thomas and Tahira have celebrated nine years of love with one another and have two beautiful children, and on Agust 10th, they decided to make it official. The rain was coming down like crazy on my drive into the city. Luckily the water stopped pouring from the sky, and the sun came out for the most stunning golden hour this world has ever seen.
