01. SHOULD YOU ELOPE?
Eloping isn’t “less than”, it’s more you. If you’re craving an intentional day that feels connected, calm, and true, an elopement might be the perfect fit. I’ll help you choose what matters most, let go of what doesn’t, and create a plan that honors your relationship without the pressure.
02. PICK A LOCATION
Your location sets the tone, not just the backdrop. Whether you want mountains, beach, forest, city, or somewhere deeply meaningful, I’ll help you pick a place that matches your vibe and photographs beautifully. I’ll also guide you on privacy, lighting, accessibility, and the best spots for those “wow” moments.
03. SEASON & TIMELINE
The right timing makes everything feel easier. I’ll help you choose the best season and build a simple timeline that protects what matters: breathing room, real moments, and gorgeous light. No rushed chaos, just a smooth flow that keeps you present and actually enjoying your day.
04. GUEST LIST
This is your permission slip: invite the people who make you feel loved, not obligated. Whether it’s just you two or a small circle, we’ll shape a guest experience that feels intimate and supportive. I’ll also share ideas for meaningful ways to include family and friends without losing the “us” of it all.
05. LOGISTICS
This is the behind-the-scenes magic that keeps the day calm. From getting ready locations to travel time, parking, backup plans, and what to pack, I’ll help you think through the details so nothing feels stressful. The goal is simple: you show up, feel taken care of, and let the day unfold.
06. LEGAL DETAILS
The legal part doesn’t have to feel intimidating. I’ll point you toward what to check for your specific location: permits, officiant requirements, witnesses, and marriage license basics. You’ll know what boxes to tick so you can focus on what this day is really about, the two of you.

FAQ
Are the travel expenses included in your packages or covered additionally?
Travel depends on where you’re getting married. Some packages include travel within a certain radius, and anything beyond that is simply added on so it’s transparent and fair. I’ll always provide a clear travel quote up front (no surprise fees), and I’ll help you choose options that keep the day smooth and stress-free.
What if we want something more extreme for our elopement?
I’m in. ✨ Whether you’re dreaming of a hike, a remote location, sunrise vows, cliffside views, snow, sand, or wind, we can absolutely plan for it. “Extreme” just means we build a smart plan: timing, footwear, safety, permits (if needed), backup options, and a timeline that keeps you feeling present, not pushed. Tell me your dream and I’ll help you make it real.
We want to include our dog into the elopement ceremony and photos, is that okay?
Yes, please. Dogs make everything better. 🐾We’ll plan it in a way that keeps your pup comfortable and keeps the day calm. I’ll help with ideas like bringing treats/water, a simple leash that photographs well, and even having a friend or “dog helper” so you can enjoy the moment without worrying about logistics.
How long does it take to recieve the photos after the elopement and how will those be delivered?
You’ll receive a curated online gallery delivered digitally, where you can view, download, and share your images easily. Turnaround time depends on the season and your collection, but I’ll confirm your exact delivery timeline in writing before the session so you know what to expect. If you’d like, you can also add a rush option for a faster delivery.
Do we need a wedding officiant for our elopement? If yes, can you recommend one?
That depends on the state and your ceremony style. Some couples want a traditional officiant-led ceremony, while others prefer something more personal and informal. If you do need an officiant, yes, I can absolutely recommend trusted options in your area or help you find one that matches your vibe.
What if we legally don’t get married on our elopement day?
Totally okay. Many couples choose to do a “ceremony day” for the experience and the photos, and take care of the legal paperwork on a different day for simplicity or timing. Your elopement can still be deeply meaningful and 100% yours. I’ll photograph it the same way: honoring the moment, the connection, and the commitment you’re making.
