Chris and Jessica met in high school, and knew they wanted to keep their wedding simple but meaningful. They landed on a black tie English garden theme for their quiet elopement, which came through in the bride's soft yet wild bouquet and the groom's understated suit. The couple was hoping for a romantic yet elegant New York feel, and they kept all the classic elements in place for their photo shoot outside the Oregon Capitol Building. As a sweet touch, the bride kept all her accessories together in a blush hatbox.
