Photo Log: washington D.c. // February 2025

you're not booking a package. you're beginning a story.

So you've decided to choose adventure over expectation and do things your way?

Can I just say - i freaking love that for you!

Eloping isn't about running away; it's about running toward something that actually feels right. No pressure, no expectations - just you, your person, and a day that reflects exactly who you are. and I'm here for all of it! 
 

think of me as your co-creator of an unforgettable, untamed love story

I'm your experience planner, adventure buddy, vow-hyping expert, and the person making sure your elopement is stress-free, intentional, and completely yours.

Whether that means finding the perfect backdrop, helping with the finer details, or just reminding you that yes, this decision is so worth it - I've got you!

This is your love story! So....
Where's your next adventure? 

Choosing to elope or have an adventure session isn't just about the photos - it's about creating a day that actually feels like you. The wind in your hair, the sound of your laughter echoing off the cliffs, the quiet way your fingers intertwine when no one's watching - those are the moments that matter. I'm here to make sure your day flows naturally, with no pressure and no awkward posing. Just the two of you, being yourselves, in a place that feels like magic. I'll be there to guide you, hype you up, and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way! 

Before I picked up a camera, I was a NICU nurse - an experience that taught me just how fleeting and sacred the little moments are. That's why I do this. Because your love deserves to be remembered as it really was - wild, tender, and completely your own.

So tell me... does this feel like the elopement you've always imagined, but didn't think could be real?

if you're nodding yes, here's what happens next:

First, you'll fill out my contact form with all the good stuff - where you're thinking of eloping, what you're envisioning, and anything else on your heart. From there, I'll send over information tailored to your location and what matters most to you, along with a link to book a call. 

We'll hop on a laid-back Google meet to dream out loud together and talk through all the possibilities. After that, you'll get a contract, an invoice, and a cozy client portal to keep everything organized. 

Then? We plan something unforgettable. We'll chase golden light, laugh until your cheeks hurt, and create a day that feels wildly and unbelievably you. And afterward, you'll get photos that let you relive the beginning of your marriage - over and over again.

Let's start planning your day!

The wild corners i keep coming back to


While I'm always up for an adventure, there are a few places that have completely stolen my heart - and just so happen to be some of the most breathtaking spots to elope.

                                                         Shenandoah Valley
                                                                   Oregon
                                                                     Kauai 

These places feel like home to me - and I'd be honored to photograph your love story in any of them! 

And while those places are extra close to my heart...

I'm always down to explore somewhere new! Whether you're dreaming of desert skies, misty lakes, quiet forests, or something totally unexpected - I'll travel anywhere in the US to help you say I do in the place. that feels right for you. 

(Just a heads up: I'm currently not booking elopements in Colorado.) 

Wherever your love story wants to roam, I'm ready.

Frequently asked questions

  • How far in advance should we reach out to book our elopement? - The sooner, the better - especially if you're dreaming of a specific date or season. I typically book elopements 3-12 months in advance, but if you're planning something more last-minute, still reach out. Magic can happen on short notice too. 

  • We don't have a location picked out yet - can you help us decide? - Absolutely! Location scouting is part of the adventure. I'll help you find the perfect spot based on your vibe, the season, accessibility, and what kind of backdrop feels like you. From mountaintop views to forest hideaways, we'll find your place. 

  • How much coverage do we need for an elopement? - Elopements deserve more time than just a quick ceremony shot. I offer flexible coverage ranging from a few hours to full-day storytelling. Whether you're hiking at sunrise or having a slow, intimate day with just the two of you, I'll help you choose what fits best. 

  • What if the weather is bad on our elopement day? - I only book one elopement a week, which gives us room to adjust if the weather takes a turn. We can shift timing - or even the day if needed. Or we can lean into the mood and embrace whatever the skies bring. Either way, it'll be beautiful. 

  • Can we bring guests to our elopement? - Totally. Elopements don't have to mean just the two of you. If having a few loved ones there feels right, I fully support that. I photograph elopements with up to 10 guests, so you can still keep things intimate while including your nearest and dearest. We'll make sure your location allows it and build your timeline to flow naturally with everyone involved. 

  • When will get our photos - and do you send sneak peeks? - Yes! I know how excited you'll be so I always send a sneak peek gallery the next day. Your full gallery will be delivered within 6-8 weeks, beautifully edited and ready to relive the day.
