Wherever Your Hearts Lead.......

Designed As A Day Not An Hour

 

This is not coverage designed around a ceremony alone. These elopements are shaped as full days, allowing time to move between locations, settle into moments, and experience your surroundings without rushing.

The photography follows the natural arc of the day—capturing atmosphere, movement, and the quiet in-between moments that give the experience its depth. The result is a cohesive visual narrative that feels immersive, elevated, and deeply reflective of who you are.

You’re not here for a checklist or a production. You’re here because you want your elopement to feel like a day you actually lived — one shaped by meaning, movement, and emotional truth. My work begins there.

I photograph elopements for couples who want space to be themselves, time to feel what’s happening, and imagery that reflects something real — not a performance of romance, but the quiet depth of it.

While these elopements are thoughtfully designed and beautifully intentional, they’re also meant to be enjoyed. The experience is not rigid or overly precious — it’s spacious, relaxed, and shaped around what feels good to you. Pricing reflects the time, care, and flexibility required to create a day that flows naturally, leaving room for laughter, spontaneity, and those unscripted moments that often become favorites.



Pricing & Collections

 

Thoughtful coverage for intimate weddings, elopements, and meaningful celebrations

I photograph weddings with a documentary foundation and an editorial eye. That means your day unfolds naturally, with gentle guidance when it helps and complete respect for the moments that belong only to you.

This is not an “hourly coverage” approach.
It’s not rushed.
It’s not built around rigid expectations or forced moments.

Instead, the experience is shaped around:

flow rather than timelines

presence rather than posing

emotional awareness rather than direction

I pay attention — to light, to energy, to the way a moment is unfolding — and I respond accordingly. That sensitivity is what allows the photographs to feel honest and layered, rather than arranged.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Every Wedding and Elopement Includes

• Story-driven, documentary coverage with a refined, timeless approach

• A calm, experienced presence that allows you to stay fully present in your day

• Thoughtful portrait guidance that feels natural, never forced

• Timeline support so your celebration unfolds with ease rather than urgency

• A pre-wedding consultation to align on details, priorities, and flow

• A thoughtful questionnaire designed to understand your vision, values, and what matters most to you

• Location, venue, and trusted vendor recommendations when desired

• A minimum of 50 professionally edited, high-resolution images per hour, delivered in both color and black & white

• A private online gallery for viewing, downloading, and sharing

• Curated print and heirloom album options for those who value tangible keepsakes

 

 

For couples who want something intimate, intentional, and deeply personal

Elopements can be just the two of you, or shared with a small circle of loved ones. They are less about tradition and more about presence and emotional connection — with the freedom to move slowly, choose meaningful locations, and focus on what matters most without pressure or performance.

 

ELEVATED LUXURY ELOPEMENTS

  • 3 hours to 2 days of photo coverage options

  • In-depth questionnaires to help create your dream day

  • Personalized planning and assistance with locations, permits, vendors, and timelines

  • Sneak peek photos within 3 business days

  • An online gallery with free unlimited downloads and a print ordering option

  • High-resolution, professionally-edited images

  • Location guidance and thoughtful pacing support
  • Add-ons available to customize your experience

This collection is ideal if you’re drawn to simplicity, privacy, and a wedding day that feels unrushed, honest, and intentional.

From $2000

 

WHITE GLOVE MICRO-WEDDINGS

 

All the meaning of a wedding, with fewer guests and deeper connection.

Micro-weddings are ideal for couples who want the fullness of a wedding day — ceremony, celebration, and the presence of family — without the scale of a large event.

These thoughtfully designed collections typically include:

• Six or more hours of coverage

• Two professional wedding photographers

• Artful documentation of your ceremony and intimate gathering

• Family portraits guided with ease and warmth

• Time for relaxed, natural couple portraits

• Location and trusted vendor guidance

• Several curated add-on options, from heirloom albums to film photography

• Space for the day to unfold at a comfortable, unrushed rhythm

Micro-weddings offer warmth, intimacy, and flexibility — while still honoring the people who matter most.

From $ 3500

For couples who book a micro-wedding collection, an intimate two-person elopement experience may be added at a preferred rate. This offering is designed as a continuation — or prelude — to your wedding story: a quiet, intentional session in a location chosen just for the two of you. Whether held before the wedding day or afterward, it allows space for uninterrupted connection and artful, story-driven imagery in a setting that feels deeply personal. Add-on elopement coverage begins at $750 when reserved alongside a micro-wedding collection.

A Calm, Attentive Presence

 My role on an elopement day is subtle but essential.

On an elopement day, my role is both steady and flexible. I’m there to notice what’s unfolding, keep things moving with ease, and make sure you feel supported — never rushed, never managed. I’ll offer gentle guidance when it helps, and plenty of space when it doesn’t.

There’s room for laughter, wandering, curiosity, and the kind of moments that happen when you stop thinking about the camera altogether. Couples often tell me they forgot I was even photographing part of the day — that it felt relaxed, playful, and surprisingly fun. That sense of ease is intentional. When you feel free to be yourselves, the photographs naturally follow.

This experience is designed for couples who want the luxury of time, the ease of expert guidance, and the freedom to enjoy their day without a rigid agenda. Think beautiful locations, unhurried moments, a little adventure, a little magic, and photographs that feel as good as the day itself. If that sounds like your kind of celebration, book now or contact me to begin shaping something unforgettable.
