“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.” - Pablo Neruda
"I have a room all to myself; It is nature" - Henry David Thoreau
portrait of the groom in chile wedding elopement
I don't tend to post many portraits on my blog. But, a portrait can often tell as much about a personality as capturing a candid moment of laughter, nervousness, or confusion. This portrait of Matt speaks to me of his calm and self assured personality that was so easy to be around while in Patagonia Chile for their elopement.
It takes a special type of human to embrace the plethora of unknowns while eloping. Heather and Matt thrived. This is them 2 days before their lakeside ceremony checking out one of the locations the hotel suggested for their vows.
Heather and Matt offered the incredible opportunity for my wife and I to document their private elopement in Chile. The above image was taken within their first few hours in Puerto Notales, sitting with their translator (required by law, as they both speak Spanish) awaiting their "interview" process with the city hall official who was conducting part 1 of their official marriage. Many days later (after eating breakfast, lunch and dinner with them) and a long hike, the below image captures their lakeside ceremony at Patagonia Camp. The same city official traveled the 2hrs north to finish the process, with enthusiastic hotel staff looking on. Out of our nearly month long journey, the most memorable part was the honor of bonding with these two unique and special humans, and bearing witness to their adventure. Many more images will pop up soon.
