If it feels overwhelming to narrow down all the possibilities, no worries, that’s what I’m here for.
This is it...
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 ;)

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 :)
Get to know one another. Discover the possibilities together. You don't need to know where and when to book.
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.
At the end of the day, your elopement isn’t about fitting into a package or following expectations.
It’s about creating an experience that feels aligned with your relationship, your values, and the way you actually want to remember this season of your life.
