Hot Springs, AR | April + Brody | Elopement
An Intimate Forest Elopement in Hot Springs National Forest
April + Brody
There is something incredibly special about an elopement that’s quiet, intentional, and rooted in nature. April and Brody’s wedding day was exactly that—simple, meaningful, and deeply personal.
They traveled from Tennessee to Arkansas with one goal in mind: to exchange vows somewhere peaceful and remote, away from the noise of the world. When they shared that vision with me, I knew I had just the place.
Tucked inside the beauty of Hot Springs National Forest, April and Brody said “I do” in an intimate setting surrounded by towering trees, soft light, and the stillness that only nature can offer.
A Remote Elopement Location in Hot Springs, Arkansas
One of the things I love most about photographing elopements is helping couples find a location that truly reflects their story. April and Brody wanted something secluded and natural—no crowds, no distractions, just a place where they could focus on each other and the commitment they were making.
Even after initially choosing a location, April realized she wanted something slightly different. She reached out, and without hesitation, we pivoted. That flexibility is part of the elopement experience I strive to give every couple—ease, reassurance, and guidance from start to finish.
We met, then traveled together to their ceremony spot, where everything slowed down in the best way.
A Meaningful Ceremony Surrounded by Family
April and Brody exchanged vows with their daughter by their side, making the moment even more meaningful. It was emotional, tender, and incredibly sincere.
No timelines to rush.
No pressure to perform.
Just love, family, and a moment that felt true to them.
These are the kinds of weddings that stay with you—the ones that remind you what it’s really all about.

The forest setting gave us the most beautiful, natural backdrop for their portraits. Soft light filtered through the trees, creating a calm, romantic atmosphere that perfectly matched their day.
We captured quiet moments, genuine laughter, and the kind of connection that doesn’t need posing or perfection—just space to be present.
This is what elopement photography is meant to feel like: relaxed, authentic, and deeply personal.
What April Had to Say After Their Elopement
After delivering their gallery, April left the kindest review—one that truly means the world to me:
“Hannah was amazing to work with! We drove to Arkansas from Tennessee to elope. I searched for photographers in the Hot Springs area and reached out to her. She made everything so easy! She communicated well and was so helpful! I even changed my mind on locations, and she didn’t mind! She met us, then we followed her. She is the absolute BEST! I’d recommend her over and over! She delivered our session pretty quickly too 😍 I’m so happy with her work!!”
