This is where we share more than photographs — we share what they meant.
In The Journal, you'll find love stories told in full, elopements beneath open skies, planning insight, and location guides — all rooted in honesty, artistry, and emotion.
Curious where to begin? Step into Ellen and Quentin’s late summer wedding at Oak Grove, where golden light, impeccable style, and a ceremony beneath the oak tree gave way to courtyard champagne and celebration.

Wherever love takes you — we hope these stories help you imagine what your own might feel like.
On our way to Étretat through the countryside, we followed Marcus and Beth and watched as Beth hung her head out the window, allowing the wind to whip it as it willed.

The fact that they decided to ask us is an honor that we do not take for granted. We're excited to share those images on this blog in the future, so please subscribe if you'd like to see more.

After hiking a steady incline for a bit less than 2 miles, up ahead, we could finally see a clearing in the woodland. As we walked the final stretch of path, the air was calm and moist, causing the earth to delight our senses with its cedar aroma. Just before making it to the top, a returning hiker warned us of the extreme wind that we were about to encounter. And then, stepping from beneath the trees onto the precipitous rocky cliff, we were blasted with damp clouds and stunned by wonder.
