AUTHENTIC

SO YOU DITCHED THE big wedding

So you want the day you get married to be more about you two as a couple than “putting on” an event for guests?

You want a unique, memorable, wedding day experience?

You want an easy, stress-free, and FUN wedding day?

You want to celebrate the day exactly as you want?

Well then, cheers on choosing to ELOPE!!

 
 
 

FREEDOM TO PLAN

 

an elopement MEANS CHOICES

When you have an elopement you can get rid of all the planning stress that comes with traditional weddings, the stress to put on a show, the stress of entertaining and fabricating an event. Instead you get the liberty and freedom of designing a day that’s refreshingly YOU.

 
 

MAKE IT YOUR OWN

THINK OF IT this way

Instead of paying for 150+ guests meals you can opt for a private 2 person chef dinner. Instead of paying for a $10k+ venue you opted to fly out to your bucket list destination to share your vows on a tropical beach at sunset. Instead of paying for table rentals ,decor, etc. you opted for a private helicopter tour and picnic setup.

See what I’m saying? Just because you opted out of a “traditional wedding” doesn’t mean your day has to be anything less than extraordinary! 

It’s about choosing and deciding where you want to spend your money to help maximize your elopement experience!

 
 

IT’S MORE THAN just a wedding, IT’S AN experience.

An elopement is two people choosing to have an intentional, intimate, wedding experience ,that focuses on who they really are as a couple and having the day reflect that.

It’s not a full day photoshoot, it’s you two being yourselves, celebrating in a way that is unique to you, and simply having your best day ever, while I’m there to capture awesome photos in a candid & laid-back approach.

#3

How do we know how much coverage we need?

 

Reach out and let’s chat, even if you’re in the beginning stages of planning I can help show you what’s possible + help you pick the right elopement package—plus you can always add more time throughout the planning process if needed!

 
 

#4

What if the weather is bad?

 
 

Honestly, we just embrace it!! It makes for a great adventure plus unpredictable weather like wind or rain has a way of bringing images to life, it enhances emotion and truly creates some breathtaking images. It’s best to keep an open mind, bad weather doesn’t have to mean bad day or bad photos!

#5

Can you help with locations, vendor recommendations, + logistical help?

 

Yes, I can definitely help with nailing down awesome spots, putting you in touch with vendors like officiants, Hair + Makeup, Professional Guides, etc. I can also put you in touch with who to contact should you need a special use permit for a certain location.

 
 

#6

Can you photoshop us?

 

Nope. I live for the raw, authentic, wildly beautiful moments, the adventurous wind in your face, and wrinkly smile realness. I only color correct images so if you’re looking for a heavily “air brushed” or physically altering your body, I may not be the girl for you- and that’s ok. The only “photoshopping” I do is cleaning up people in backgrounds (when possible).

 
 

#7

Are you a planner? Can you set things up for us?

 

Nope. I do my best to help facilitate the planning process for my couples, however I don’t book anything or organize any details on your behalf, (like a wedding planner might). I can help with sharing my experiences/elopement knowledge, location research assistance/scouting, permit assistance, I can help recommend local vendors, activity recommendations, & crafting a photo timeline for the day of.

 

POP THE bubbly!
