YOUR day. YOUR rules.

  • How do we make this meaningful without a big production?
  • Can our vows include inside jokes and terrible puns?
  • Can our cat be our ring bearer?

The answer to all of the above? Yes. And Iโ€™ll even bring cat treats.

When you invest in me as a photographer, you also get an adventure guide, wedding planner, pack mule, and hype squad. Iโ€™m not just there to snap pretty pictures (though I do that too). Iโ€™m also stepping in as your go-to guide for all things elopement. From finding that secret ceremony spot to helping you navigate permits and paperwork, my pricing reflects my expertise as a photographer AND my ability to wear every hat you need along the way. Plus, my clients benefit from my exclusive collection of high-value resources that make planning easy and fun!

This process begins long before your big day.

When we connect over the phone, weโ€™ll get to know each otherโ€“ Iโ€™ll be charmed by those quirky things that make your partnership so unique, and I may just regale you with a silly story, like that one time the airlines decided to lose my luggage, the day before my own elopement.

I absolutely love these pictures and [Korey] herself, she is so fun and sweet! She made us feel so comfortable. Me and my fiancรฉe were able to share our silly stories that were making us laugh and just being silly together and she was able to capture the moments of us laughing and loving each other. – Caitlin

Elopement Planning Assistance

Planning an elopement is no small feat, but with my help, itโ€™s a breeze (and significantly more straightforward than traditional wedding planning). Iโ€™ll help you build an itinerary that feels just right, including activities that align with your love story and backdrops that make you swoon. Need help navigating paperwork and permits? Iโ€™ve got your back every step of the way.

Location Scouting

From vows to views! Elopements are about the journey AND the destination, and Iโ€™m all in for both! After we discuss what youโ€™re looking for in a location, Iโ€™ll use my travel expertise to curate a customized list of locations for you to choose from. This includes researching trails in the area and considering mileage, elevation, and experience level. 

Photography Coverage

Youโ€™re eloping to avoid the stress or chaos that a traditional wedding day can bring, so the last thing Iโ€™ll do is make you feel like youโ€™re at a photoshoot. Iโ€™ll blend into your day while giving you gentle prompts to help you create lasting memoriesโ€“but trust me, I know when to shut up and let you do your thing. My goal is to capture your day as genuinely as possible.

Optional Officiant Services

Iโ€™m an ordained minister with the Chruch of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (yes, really), which allows me to offer my non-traditional, non-religious approach to officiating when needed. Looking for an elopement that really is just the two of you (plus a photographer)? I can double as your officiant when it comes time to sign on the dotted line. 

Customized Packing List

If you opt for a hiking elopement, Iโ€™ll send you a customized guide with recommendations to help you prepare. From sturdy hiking boots to weather-appropriate attire, Iโ€™ll make sure youโ€™re adventure-ready without the stress of packing decisions. Itโ€™s about creating an elopement adventure tailored to youโ€“from the clothes on your back to the boots on your feet.

24-Hour Sneak Peeks (!!!)

I know what it feels like to crave photos that help you reminisce. For many couples, these sneak peeks make reminiscing even sweeter, so I deliver a small selection of photos within 24 hours of your ceremony. Itโ€™s the perfect way to announce your elopement or share special moments with loved ones from afar.

Transparent Travel Fees

Travel fees are incorporated into pricing up front, which means no surprises when it comes time to book travel or accommodations and no burdensome fees down the road. My goal is to minimize stress at every turn, so once youโ€™ve booked with me, I handle the rest!

Several months before your elopement, I’ll send you two a questionnaire to help me customize the perfect timeline full of all the things.
