Elopements and
Non-Traditional weddings
Does your perfect Wedding sound a little different?
Are you the type of couple who prefers looking through REI catalogues over wedding magazines? Who prefers investing time and money on awesome trips instead of a single big party? Who rather be looking into helicopter rides than limo companies?
If this sounds like you, why not have a wedding day as adventurous as you are?
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED ELOPING?
This option is for anyone who is looking to have more of a “just us” experience on their wedding day. Even better, a perfectly tailored adventure to celebrate your new marriage and the beginning of your lives together. Getting married is supposed to be fun, so let’s skip the stress and elope together!
Now you still might be wondering…
ELOPING? WHY WOULD I ELOPE?
Eloping isn’t what it used to be. When people tell their friends and family that they are thinking of eloping, it is often met with the idea of running away to get married at a courthouse or in a Vegas chapel. It is commonly associated with words like “secret”, “hasty”, “lonely”, and even “selfish.”
Many photographers out there, including myself, are trying to change that perception. I want to change it for friends and families of couples, as well as the couples themselves. I want words like “intentional”, “authentic”, “meaningful”, and “stress free” to come to mind.
Our aim is to do so by creating a once in a lifetime experience for you and your partner. You should get married the way you want to! For some this can mean backpacking on the Appalachian Trail to get married deep in nature, for others this can simply mean having an awesome backyard wedding with their closest friends and family. The day can be whatever you want it to be, meaning the options are endless. There is always the option of throwing a party for the extended family in the future!
Where do we start?
It’s easy, really!
Step 1
Cruise around my portfolio, read some reviews, and fill out a contact form to share your vision!
Once we know we are available, we’ll set up a phone call or meet up and make sure we’re a good fit all around. If you decide to officially book, you get to sit back and take a big sigh of relief. We’ve got ya covered!
Step 2
You handle the dreaming, and we’ll handle the planning. We’ll help you with location ideas, vendor suggestions, and activity ideas.
Once we narrow down ideas and necessary permits are acquired, we’ll help you come up with a personalized timeline for the big adventure!
Step 3
It’s time to have your wedding, your way! The two of you will get to have an awesome and personalized experience that you will remember for years to come.
Once the adventure is over, I get right to work on your photos! You can expect to have sneak peeks in the following days and the full gallery in 4-6 weeks.

Dream Big!!!
It’s hard to explain just how many different things you can do on your elopement day, but I want to encourage you to dream big! Imagine honeymoon but make it adventure. It can be as hard core as snorkeling in the Keys or jeepin’ in Utah, or as simple as going to a lake and having a picnic with your closest friends and family.
