College of William & Mary Wedding - Surprise Elopement

 

Hampton Roads Elopement at College of William & Mary | Don & Porscha

Don and Porscha both knew they wanted a very intimate wedding ceremony with just the two of them, so the location was very important. Don had taken on the task of planning the details of their elopement and wanted to keep the venue as a surprise to Porscha. When the car and driver arrived to pick up Porscha to bring her to the ceremony, she wasn't sure where she was headed until the car kept going east past Richmond. That’s the moment Porscha suspected she was on her way to her wedding! Their College of William & Mary wedding in Williamsburg was everything they dreamed!

The couple both graduated from the College of William & Mary, and this is where they first met. So it was only too fitting that they would return to the location where it all began to celebrate their union.

The William & Mary campus is a gorgeous setting, and since it was spring break week for the students, we practically had the entire campus to ourselves! 

I was honored to be 'in' on the secret and to capture this chapter in Don and Porscha's love story.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the day.

(Oh, and the final shot--that's the elevator where the two would meet to catch up in between classes! I loved that we made a special trip over to the building to reenact this special memory.)
