A Sunset Clifftop Elopement in Austin, Texas

Nikk Nguyen Photo had the honor of capturing Erin and Christer’s elopement and we love what he had to say about the event…

“Erin and Christer are one of the couples whose plans were affected by the pandemic, but who rolled with the punches and created something beautiful anyway. They decided that they would get married in a simple, private ceremony outdoors. You might think that an elopement where the officiant, the photographer, and the family dog are the only guests might feel anticlimactic, but that couldn’t be further from the truth! Erin and Christer’s clifftop elopement was so intimate and special. The details were simple, but such care and attention was put into each one that the whole evening felt elevated and elegant.

They had this incredible rose flower arch put up on their patio for their clifftop elopement ceremony. This spot has the most amazing views of the river, and as they stood there in the golden hour of the setting sun, the flowers framing them, the moment was truly magic. Afterwards, they celebrated by popping some champagne and toasting to their marriage – along with their precious pooch, who witnessed the whole thing.

Christer and Erin were such a pleasure to work with – so kind, fun, and full of this extraordinary sense of peace. I really admire the way that they knew exactly what they wanted and they created an event that perfectly celebrated their love, without looking to any outside pressures. And I think the results speak for themselves! What a beautiful evening.”
