Eloping means anything you want it to be, it could be...
- Hiking to a hidden alpine lake
- Brave the Pacific waters for a sunset swim.
- Collect wildflowers for a natural bouquet.
- Sound bowl ceremony with the vibrations spreading far and wide.
- Get matching tattoos!?
- Creating something together: painting on a canvas, writing love letters to open on your anniversary, or carving your initials into a piece of driftwood to leave behind.
You decided eloping fits your values and want to go for it
This is it...
If it feels overwhelming to narrow down all the possibilities, no worries, that’s what I’m here for.
Eloping gives you Freedom
To create an adventure that reflects who you are
What I value about the elopement space I share with couples is about honoring your true selves within. I want the space to feel like home to express the love you share for each other. You can be quirky, you can be weird, you can be romantic and playful. I value providing a safe space to express yourselves openly.
Elopements deserve to be just as unique and adventurous as the couples who choose them. I do SOO much more than take photos. I’m here to help you dream it up and guide you from start to finish. I know you’re not looking for the typical, and I’m here to make sure your elopement is as meaningful and memorable as possible. You’ll get a true companion and a guide who happens to also be a photographer ;)
I truly do care the most about your experience you will share together on your elopement day.

Let’s be real. Having a camera in your face all day sounds exhausting, right? I get it; feeling like I'm “on display and can't relax,” is not my vibe and not what I want for you either. So, no, working with me isn’t about being stuck in an all-day photo session. It’s about indulging into an experience that feels alive and comfortable. Think of me as a friend hanging out with a camera. It’s an adventure that will make you feel free, seen, and completely yourself. If we have cool idea's for certain photos and that is the vibe then we do it, if not we don't. No pressure ever! The beauty of having me along for the entire ride is you get comfortable with me and the camera and half the time you'll forget its even there. When we are uncomfortable we are growing.. just saying :)
A Full Day of Photos?
not at all...
Your experience should excite you! Your here because you value your life and how you live it. Take a moment to dream of your perfect day together. Whether you choose to do a Vancouver Island elopement or elope in Bali, what does an elopement experience look like to you from start to finish? What does it feel like? Start off your marriage with an experience that feels both relaxing and exciting to celebrate.
You'll be so thankful you did it.

What to expect
How does this work?
Get to know one another. A deep dive and discover the possibilities together.
Ignite the moment with some decisions.
I provide planning assistance along the way when you need it.
Not good at the little things? I can offer packing advise and other guides to help your experience go smooth.
Share your timeline with me and I can give you feedback.
The adventure!! I am there to document the moments so you can be in the now and enjoy your experience fully .
Pictures are just the coolest thing and on a deeper thought kind of strange. But BEAUTIFUL and so valuable to have.
You can select your favorite images and print them out! I offer a unique range of printing option to love your photos forever.
Honestly probably more than you think! An adventure requires time and time well spent. What would you eat? Where would you be? What scenery is surrounding you? What adventure would you take together? Dream up that perfect wedding day transformed into a custom elopement experience instead! Wedding day's are usually 6, 8, 10 or even 12 hours of coverage. Elopement days have a lot to say in them too.
How do I know how much photography coverage I'll need?
First up is a kick-ass photographer of course. A florist, hair & makeup artists, officiant, event designers, planners (unless photographer helps), cater, accommodation, activities, transportation and unique services. Before you pick a date make sure it's far enough in advance to plan ahead and find the people you want to book. Step one is booking a photographer and or planner up to 15 months before!!
What vendors may I need for my elopement?
No... but... yes!!! There are some spots you can drive up to and enjoy. However, those spots are usually more populated and less private. Most super epic spots require a bit of a hike. There are plenty awesome choices where no hiking is needed but that means there will be more chance for people being there too. It's about how you feel when your "IN" your experience anyways.
Do you have to hike to get to cool spots?
