The After-Party to the Italian Elopement

Whitney and Josh, who eloped surrounded by the romantic landscapes of Italy, later hosted an unforgettable celebration in Atlanta to share their joy with friends and family. Moving away from traditional wedding norms, they created a lively evening at their favorite local restaurant with a cocktail hour, a delicious dinner, and an energetic dance party. The highlight of the night was Whitney’s stunning change into a beaded Clio Peppiatt dress, perfect for dancing, as a live band set the tone for an evening full of fun and excitement.

The couple wanted their photos to feel editorial and candid, capturing moments that looked effortlessly stylish while still telling the authentic story of their day. This approach perfectly matched the carefree and joyous atmosphere they created, emphasizing living fully in the moment. Among the festivities, they honored one beloved tradition: cutting a towering wedding cake. The entire night unfolded like an exuberant after-party rather than a formal event, perfectly reflecting Whitney and Josh’s desire to celebrate their love in a way that felt uniquely their own.
