I’m here to make your intimate wedding or destination elopement photography experience effortless, heartfelt, and unforgettable. You deserve a relaxed, comfortable environment where you feel safe being your true self. Knowing you have a photographer who understands how to tell your authentic love story through artful, storytelling imagery.
I create a destination elopement experience that goes far beyond posed shots. Capturing the raw, honest, and emotional moments of your day. My goal is to document the fleeting glances, the laughter, the quiet touches, and all the details that make your story unique and unlike any other.
Capturing all forms of love in the most authentic way! That's the heart of my Destination Elopement Experience. I can’t wait to tell it through timeless, meaningful images you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
Your Destination Elopement Experience Is Just Beginning!
Our Destination Elopement Photography Process
Step by Step
Within 48-72 hours of your elopement, I’ll send you a sneak peek. Allowing you to instantly relive the magic and share it with your loved ones. Your full online gallery will be ready within 8 weeks.
This is your moment to pour a glass of wine, curl up together, and revisit every emotion and quiet glance from your destination elopement or wedding day. Inside your gallery, you’ll have access to an integrated online print store, where you can order heirloom albums, fine art prints, and frames, turning your photographs into tangible keepsakes you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
Your Memories in Images!
Your elopement adveture is here!!! Your dream day is just around the corner, and I’m going to be geeking out right alongside you! During the week of your destination elopement or wedding, I’ll create a private WhatsApp group chat so we can communicate easily and stay connected. I’ll use it to check in with you, share updates, and send sneak peeks of the locations during my final scouting the day before.
The Day of Your Adventure!
It’s time for you to be fully present and have the time of your life. I’ve got you, your photographs, your memories, and your entire experience in safe hands. As I capture those jaw-dropping moments, I’ll even share a few previews with you in real time, so you can feel the magic as it happens. Get ready, because I’ll be celebrating every click of the shutter right alongside you!
Time for your Destination Elopement
After I deliver your custom timeline, there may be a quiet period while you finalize your plans. But know that I’m always just a message away if you need me. I’ll check in periodically over the coming months to see if you need any extra guidance or recommendations.
Then, one month before your elopement or wedding day, we’ll have a final video call to review all the details. This is the time to confirm your travel arrangements, the timing and locations of the ceremony, and any special moments you'd like me to capture. Let's ensure we’re perfectly aligned for your special day.
Check-Ins
Once you’ve had time to explore your curated location options, you’ll receive my timeline questionnaire. It will help me map out the perfect flow for your day. This is where I begin weaving together an itinerary filled with intention, magic, and moments that feel entirely you.
I’ll create several elopement day timeline options for you to choose from, ensuring your schedule allows you to be fully present while I capture every meaningful moment. Once your timeline is finalized, it’s time to book your flights, accommodations, activities, and tours. Your destination elopement vision is coming to life.
The Timeline Crafting
You’ll receive my 80+ elopement planning guide. It's a valuable resource filled with tips and elopement essentials to help you design your perfect day. From the first day, I'll guide you through how to elope with clarity.
Next, I’ll send you a location questionnaire to uncover the landscapes, vibes, and experiences that resonate with your heart. Your answers will guide me in creating a personalized location scouting plan.
From there, I’ll research and curate a list of location options. It'll include a complete set of activity ideas, lodging suggestions, vendor recommendations, and guidance on any necessary permits. You’ll receive your full planning package within 6–8 weeks, setting the stage for a seamless elopement experience.
The Location Planning Process
After the inquiry, we’ll meet on a video call. I’ll walk you through the destination elopement photography process in detail. Every elopement is unique, so you deserve a consultation tailored entirely to you. We’ll explore your vision for the day and the moments you most want captured. Then we'll decide together which elopement or wedding photography package is the perfect fit for you.

What is a Destination Elopement?
An elopement is an intimate, deeply personal way to say “I do”. Where the focus is on authenticity, adventure, and experience rather than tradition. It’s just about the two of you and nobody else. It’s about prioritizing your dreams and desires, creating a day that reflects your relationship without the weight of other people’s expectations.
Whether it’s exchanging vows against the backdrop of a mountain range or on a secluded beach, eloping is about crafting a wedding adventure that feels intentional and uniquely yours. There are no rules, just love, joy, and the freedom to celebrate your commitment in a way that feels true to you.
What is an Intimate Wedding?
An intimate wedding is a heartfelt celebration focused on connection, authenticity, and meaningful moments. Shared with a small group of your closest loved ones. With around 10 to 15 guests, couples can create a relaxed, intentional, and deeply personal experience, free from the stress of managing a large crowd.
Whether held in a cozy indoor venue or a scenic outdoor location, an intimate wedding allows you to slow down, be fully present, and savor every moment of your day. It’s about love, not logistics, and creating a celebration that feels genuine, joyful, and unforgettable.

Destination Elopement or Intimate Wedding: Which One Is for You
How do you ensure our photos are safe?
Do you help with permits, or do we need to get them ourselves?
How do you handle travel delays?
How do you handle low-light situations or bad weather?
Do you travel, and how does it work?
That’s the beauty of my work! I don’t need to have photographed a location before to capture its true essence. Long before your elopement day, I immerse myself in researching your dream location, using detailed maps, visuals, and planning tools to understand its unique light at any time of day, its landscapes, and the best access points. It’s like I’m already there, from afar!
Then, I take it a step further by personally scouting the location ahead of time, ensuring I’m familiar with the best spots, hidden gems, and how to navigate any surprises. Wherever you choose, I’ll be fully prepared to document your journey with ease and authenticity!

Absolutely! Traveling is one of my greatest passions. And when I get to do that while photographing an incredible couple like you? Pure magic! ✨ All of my US and International elopement and wedding packages include travel (lodging, airfare, and 2WD Rental), so no extra fees for you to worry about! ✈️

How do you handle low-light situations or bad weather?
I approach low light just like I approach love, creatively and with purpose. While I use flash when necessary, I also love incorporating lanterns, flashlights, and the natural glow around us. Modern cameras excel in low-light conditions, allowing us to fully embrace their mood and enchantment.
Your safety is always my top priority in challenging weather, and we’ll have a backup plan ready. But, if you’re open to it, rain or mist can create a cinematic, dreamlike atmosphere, if you're ready to embrace it, me too!

I always plan ahead to ensure that travel delays won’t disrupt your special day. By arriving two to three days before your elopement, I give myself enough time to adjust to any unexpected setbacks, scout locations, and ensure everything is ready for your celebration. Your experience should be seamless, and that starts with me being fully prepared, whatever travel may bring!

You’ve invested in quality, and that’s exactly what you’ll receive. I take every measure to ensure your photos are safe! My camera simultaneously saves each image to two memory cards, providing an immediate backup from the start. After your elopement, I store your images on multiple hard drives and secure cloud storage, making sure they’re protected in several locations. Your photos are in trusted hands, from the moment I capture them to the moment they’re delivered to you!
