Emily and Gordon’s Ohio Statehouse elopement was the kind of celebration that proves small weddings can still be absolutely breathtaking. Set in the heart of downtown Columbus, Ohio, their day was full of quiet elegance, timeless details, and meaningful moments shared between just the two of them.

The Ohio Statehouse is one of the most iconic and historic elopement locations in Columbus. With its grand columns, sweeping staircases, and gorgeous architectural details, it offers the perfect backdrop for couples who want a touch of sophistication without the fuss of a large celebration. For Emily and Gordon, it was the ideal setting to begin their life together.

Emily wore a classic, off-the-shoulder gown that felt both ethereal and regal, her soft curls pulled back to let her natural beauty shine. Gordon looked equally dashing in a sleek suit—simple, timeless, and so perfectly matched to the elegance of the space.

After exchanging vows inside the Statehouse, the newlyweds wandered the halls and exterior grounds, soaking in the peacefulness of having such a grand space to themselves. Every image captured felt cinematic—full of light, shadow, and the kind of emotion that only comes from an intimate celebration.

Elopements like this remind us why we love photographing in Columbus. The Ohio Statehouse offers a level of grandeur that’s hard to match, while still allowing couples to feel present, relaxed, and fully immersed in their love story.

If you’re dreaming of a Columbus elopement with architectural beauty, historic charm, and a refined atmosphere, eloping at the Ohio Statehouse is a truly timeless choice.

Emily and Gordon’s day was a testament to simplicity, love, and the beauty of starting forever in a space filled with history and heart.

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT the pullins

Specializing in telling your love story. We believe your love is a beautiful story deserving of being told, but there's a reason why... and it's personal

Ken + Karina Pullin. That's us. We eloped in 2020 in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. That meant an empty courthouse, no dress, no photographer, and no story told. That's the reason we are so passionate about what we do. It's a feeling opposite of what anyone should feel. That feeling is what makes us passionate about making sure your love story is told and preserved forever.
