IT’S SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST THE PHOTOS FOR ME
I know that might be weird to hear coming from your potential photographer, but just hear me out for a minute! If you’ve ever looked at a photo that’s meaningful to you, I can bet money that it wasn’t when you were having a really crappy time. Photos are such a powerful medium because they bring you right back to the feelings and memories of that exact moment in time, like almost nothing else can.
Because of that, it’s so so important to me to make sure that you are relaxed, having fun, and that the overall experience of your wedding day is a dream come true! I want you to remember every little detail (no matter how big or small). I’m confident that I can capture stunning photos on your wedding day, but it’s the story + connection behind them that I truly care about!
Whether we’re about to hop into a helicopter to have an incredible adventure on your wedding day, or your mom is crying tears of joy as she’s helping you into your wedding attire, I’m here to tell the story of it all!
Fill out the inquiry form on my contact page and give me allll the details about you + your lover! This is the first step in making sure we’re a great fit - so don’t ever feel like you’re giving me too much info!
Once I receive your inquiry, you’ll receive an email from me within 24-48 hours and it will include a link to set up a phone call so we can get to know each other a little better *AKA become besties*, and I get to hear more about your vision for your wedding day!
After we hit it off on our phone call I’ll send you your contract + invoice to reflect the package you choose! Once you fill everything out and get it sent back to me you are officially booked and the fun begins!

This is where the fun really begins! I have questionnaires I send out for each part of the planning process which gives me a better idea of recommendations for where to go, vendors you’ll need, places to stay, and timeline creation tailored to the best times of day and experiences you want to include! Each part of the planning process is completely customized to you and your unique needs and wants for your day.
Once the planning is complete and we have everything in place, we’ll meet up on your wedding day and have the most amazing wedding experience ever! I’ll be there to hold your dress as we hike up a mountain, show you all the best secrets for the dream locations you want, hand you a tissue as you cry during your vows, and cheer you on as you have your first kiss as newlyweds! I love being a part of every special moment and I am here for whatever you need throughout your day!

Can you help us find a good location for our elopement day?
Can you help us with the timeline for our elopement day?
We’re really awkward in front of the camera/we’ve never had professional photos taken before! Can you help us with posing?
Do you travel/how much are your travel costs?
How do we receive our finished gallery?
What is your turnaround time for finished galleries?
What is your payment structure?
Absolutely! Almost immediately after booking I send out a detailed questionnaire that helps me understand exactly what you envision for your wedding day. Once it’s finished and sent back to me, I do tons of research on trails, permits, accessibility, how secluded the area is, as well as any location specific details you may need to know. With that information I create a completely customized location guide that you’re able to look through, read about, and choose from for what you feel best fits your dream for your wedding!
YES! I am super hands-on throughout the whole process of planning your elopement! Much like the question above I also send a questionnaire (closer to your wedding day), to help me plan the most ideal timeline for your wedding that includes (but isn’t limited to): utilizing the best times of day for ideal and dreamy lighting, drive times if you choose multiple locations within the chosen area, time for special moments with your family + friends if you are having a micro-wedding, and more! Of course because elopements and micro-weddings are different from traditional weddings the timeline isn’t a strict end-all be-all. The most important thing to me on your wedding day is that you are relaxed, having fun, and don’t ever feel rushed! So while this timeline is helpful, make sure you know that if things don’t go according to plan it’s okay! The beauty of doing a wedding this way is that you get to do exactly what you want!
You wouldn’t believe how often I hear this from inquiring couples, and I say that because I want you to know that you’re not alone! For most couples, this is the first time they’ve ever had professional pictures taken. Which is why it’s my goal to make sure you feel yourselves, and are genuinely connecting with each other during our time together, because that will allow me to capture the most authentic moments between the two of you! Throughout your elopement/wedding day I do a lot of prompting and ‘soft’ posing to help you look your best, feel your best, and interact in a way that’s still genuine to you + your love!
Your sneak peeks AND complete gallery are delivered on a password-protected online gallery that you are welcome to share with friends and family, download high-res or web quality photos for printing/sharing on social media, and one of my favorite parts about the gallery is that you’re also able to order high quality prints and products that you can showcase throughout your house or give as gifts to loved ones! Of course, you’re not required to print from the online gallery and are welcome to print wherever you’d like. However I do recommend printing directly from the gallery for the most true-to-color, long lasting prints!
Gallery turn-around times can differ for a number of reasons, but my average delivery time for a finished gallery is between 8 to 10 weeks! During this time I’m curating the gallery from thousands of photos to the very best, the ones that tell a story, and take you right back to the most important day of your life. I hand edit every single photo in your gallery to make sure the finished product that you receive is cohesive, beautiful, and authentic to you. I know it can be hard to wait for photos that you are so excited to see, which is why I make sure to send you a handful of sneak peeks within one week of your wedding day!
To make it as simple as possible I do a 50|50 payment structure for all packages! 50% of the invoice is due upon booking, and the other 50% is due 4 weeks before your wedding day. For your convenience it’s all online and can be paid with a credit/debit card or bank transfer that applies directly to your invoice. If you decide to upgrade your package between when you book and your wedding date, the upgraded price will be added to the final balance that’s due 4 weeks before your day.
