how we create your unforgettable elopement experience
Having an adventure elopement is an opportunity to go against the grain and allow yourself the emotional vulnerability to celebrate the way YOU want.
Elopements give you the freedom to be vulnerable, to be 100% you, without the pressure of trying to please others on a day that is meant to be entirely yours.
If given the freedom to allow yourself to love who you want, wouldn’t you want a day with that same freedom?
People often ask couples how they fell in love, and we tell them our story. I believe your elopement should be a badass and down to experience with a story of it’s OWN.
your day deserves to be a LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE that is FOCUSED ON YOUR LOVE.
Love is such a personal thing, why should your wedding day be any different?
the elopement experience
Marriage is an adventure, why not start it off like one?
“What we find in a soulmate is not something wild to tame, but something wild to run with.”

contact me to plan your adventure
Struggling to navigate how all the moving parts of a big wedding come together and overhead expenses.
Having a full calendar of consults after consults with venues and vendors, juggling all the tasks while your to-do list grows longer and longer.
Worrying about your guest list and feeling obligated to invite people who you don’t really have a relationship with, but feel the pressure because they’re family.
Being torn to share your honest words in front of tons of people, so instead you opt out for standard vows because why should you share the most vulnerable emotions with hundreds of others.
Spending your wedding day being pulled in every direction and making your rounds table to table on small talk with people you haven’t seen in 3 years.
Endless hours researching and planning shouldn't be necessary to celebrate your love
Getting married shouldn’t be stressful, so let me wear all the hats, while you sit back and relax.

Your All-In-One Destination Elopement Photographer & Guide
Making the decision to pave your own path and celebrate your elopement is an incredible and once in a lifetime experience. Whether you’re in the early stages of dreaming up your adventure elopement or have a solid vision in mind, my focus is on giving you support and guidance every step of the way.
In my role as your all-in-one for elopements and intimate weddings, I like to wear many hats. You can count on me as your photographer, adventure guide, travel guru and biggest supporter in giving you the experience of a lifetime.
From the moment we chat, I'm all ears on hearing your vision and what it is that attracts you to eloping. Whether you're a travel junkie and have always wanted to get married somewhere epic just the two of you, or the idea of tradition is far from your lifestyle and values-- I'll be your right hand gal throughout the entire process.
I think anyone can take an 'ok' picture. But let me pause right there and tell you that this is about SO much more than that. This isn't about just pictures, it's about connection, authenticity, nostalgia. It's the in-between moments. it's the memories, raw emotion, the whole experience. It's about documenting your day in its most genuine and honest form; so 10 years down the road, while you're looking through your wedding photos, you're able to not only that remember that moment in time but relive it.
It's often thought that couples choose to elope because it's easy. Truth is, it is easier, however with any marriage celebration, there are still moving parts. Some of the common aspects of an adventure elopement include things such as land and park permits, travel restrictions + guidelines, lodging, deciding your travel itinerary, weather, local tips and the making sure you have the proper paperwork for making your marriage legal.
But the AMAZING thing is, that's where my role as your Guide comes into play. My process is streamlined into simple & actionable steps on your end, so when we start planning your day; it's as stress-free as can be.
If the idea of celebrating one of the most memorable, joy-filled, exciting days of your life by having a meaningful, intimate, adventure-filled and once in a lifetime unique experience speaks to you, let's make it happen!
