We are Scott & Kristine, husband and wife alternative wedding photographers behind Blue Elephant Photography. We are based in Oklahoma with our furry boy Fuji. We’re big fans of love, travel, and adventures which takes us to Colorado, New Mexico, Arkansas, Texas, Washington and across the world. We are passionate about documenting genuine and uninhibited love between two people because telling their story matters.
The first time that we met Patrick and Chandler, a couple of months ago, was at the local gelato place in town. I couldn’t resist but notice this glow of happiness in their faces the entire time they talked about wedding plans. Instantly, we liked them so much, not just to photograph but we wished we could simply hang out with them all the time! They have this vibe where you’re just happy being around them. Both of them were witty and funny plus Chandler is so sweet while Patrick is such a romantic. I immediately got this impression while listening as Patrick excitedly described the night that he proposed. Patrick took Chandler back to the place where they first met 8 years ago, the Gaslight Theater in Enid. Outside was a marquee that read…”With all my heart, for all my life.” The theater was covered in rose petals and tea light candles. Inside there was another sign that read “This is where we started. Our sweet little story. The part where your page met mine. No matter where the tale takes us tomorrow. It’s you I want by my side.” Patrick led Chandler through the petals and candles on stage, got down on one knee, and asked her to marry him. She said ‘Yes!’ of course. They obviously love theater but they also both love Arkansas so much. If you’ve ever been to the Ozarks in Arkansas you would understand why. And we couldn’t be any happier to shoot their engagement session there. We got to visit Chandler’s lake house, walk around Eureka Springs, check out historic old towns, a century old mill, visit a gorgeous lake, and experience the area’s beautiful scenery. We had a relaxing shoot with them and just really enjoyed our afternoon. It was pretty in the winter so I can only imagine its beauty in the other seasons. We can’t wait to visit Eureka Springs again and for their wedding at Dominion House in Guthrie, OK.
Patrick and Chandler, the trip to Arkansas and photographing you guys is something we will never forget. We can’t wait to shoot your wedding later in the fall this year! And we are over the moon happy for you two! Friends, thank you all for stopping by and make sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram!
