making memories last
So
you've
decided
to
Elope
THAT IS SUCH EXCITING NEWS! CONGRATULATIONS.
And guess what...I gotchu girl.
​
From photographer to storyteller to bouquet carrier to snowhoeing compadre, I will advise you on location, permiting, hiking, lighting, footwear, time of day, and everything under the sun (literally) because I more than a photographer...I become your friend, guide, and adventure buddy.
​
You may already know this, but my elopement packages are a little different than what people typically think of as the super fast courthouse elopement of our mom and dad's generation.
They are meant to allow brides to develop a more meaningful wedding, an intimate event with less than 10 attendees, an invest in the things that truly matter to them. Whether it is a miraculous dress, a photographer that is able to tell a story with their images, or a flight to an epic destination, my elopement packages allow brides to invest in a one on one wedding photography and planning/advice coordinator (ME!).
Elopement visions can be as varied as us hiking up to the top of a mountain to catch a twilight sunrise in Mt. Rainier National Park in Washington, or a breathtaking sunset over Black Balsam Knob outside of Asheville followed by an epic craft beer party back at an airbnb cabin you rented complete with your three family dogs and closest friends around a fire.
​
Package pricing below does not include travel costs unless otherwise noted. Elopements planned in conjunction with my annual travel schedule will save on travel costs! Whoot whoot! Message me for more information on current destinations and adventure plans.
