A Modern Indie Studios Elopement for Jacqueline & Brian
In a world where grand weddings steal the spotlight, Jacqueline (“Jack”) and Brian proved that sometimes, less is so much more. With just 35 of their closest family and friends, they embraced the beauty of a micro-wedding elopement at Indie Studios. Stripping away the excess, their day was all about deep connections, heartfelt moments, and a personal atmosphere.
Jack and Brian’s love story began in an unexpected place — work. Both employees at The Home Depot, Jacqueline still remembers the first time they shook hands, thinking, Oh… is this him? Brian, similarly, knew instantly that Jack was his kind of person. At the time, they were both in other relationships, so their connection started as a simple friendship — grabbing lunch, meeting for coffee, and even syncing up their water breaks. But when they both found themselves single, Jack’s not-so-subtle crush became impossible to ignore. Once Brian worked up the courage to ask her out, the rest was history.
True to The Home Depot motto, “Doers Get More Done,” the couple planned and executed the entire wedding themselves. Set against the backdrop of Indie Studios — a transformed warehouse turned creative workspace — their elopement was a masterclass in sleek minimalism. Soft candlelight flickered across polished concrete floors, while muted floral arrangements added just the right touch of warmth and romance. Industrial accents, soaring windows, and geometric decor lent a contemporary feel while cascading drapery softened the space.
During their ceremony, guests listened as Touched by An Angel by Maya Angelou was read aloud—a fitting tribute to the love that had found them. “We are weaned from our timidity / In the flush of love’s light / We dare be brave / And suddenly we see / That love costs all we are / And will ever be.” These words, rich with meaning, encapsulated their journey poetically.
In the end, Jacqueline and Brian’s elopement was more than just a beautiful event; it was a testament to true love. No grand ballrooms, no big production — just two people, wholeheartedly choosing each other, surrounded by those who knew and loved them best. And really, isn’t that what weddings are all about?
