This might sound a little corny so please buckle up…

What matters most to me is that your elopement feels like it actually belongs to you. Not rushed. Not performative. Not shaped around what a day is “supposed” to look like.

I care about helping you stay present with each other, making space for emotion and quiet moments as much as the big ones. I pay attention to how the day feels in your body and in your nervous system, not just how it looks in photos. My goal is to support a pace that lets you breathe, connect, and take it all in, while I document what unfolds naturally.

Elopements are often chosen because couples want more intention, more ease, and fewer expectations. I see my role as protecting that choice. I offer guidance when it helps, step back when it does not, and stay attuned to what feels right for you throughout the day.

If you are choosing an elopement because you want space to be yourselves and to focus on your connection, that is exactly what I am there to support.

Coverage depends on how much you want to do in one day and how much breathing room you want built in.

Two hours can work beautifully for a simple ceremony and portraits in one location, especially if travel and logistics are minimal.

Half day coverage, typically around four hours, works well for elopements that include some movement or exploration without trying to fit everything into one day. This might look like a hike to your ceremony spot, time for portraits along the way, space to pause and take things in, and a relaxed wrap up afterward. It is enough time to feel present and unrushed, without layering on additional activities.

Full day coverage is ideal if you want a slower, more spacious experience overall. This can include a longer or more challenging hike, multiple locations, changing light throughout the day, built in rest, or time for different parts of the day to unfold naturally. Full day coverage gives you the freedom to move at an unhurried pace and follow what feels right without keeping one eye on the clock.

You do not need to decide this right now. We will talk through what you are imagining and choose coverage that supports the kind of day you actually want to have.

That’s completely okay. You don’t need to have that figured out yet.

Part of my role is helping you think through the parts of the day that tend to cause the most stress before they become stressful. That includes timing, photo flow, family dynamics, and where photography fits into the day without taking it over. You can come to me with a rough outline, a lot of questions, or just a sense of how you want the day to feel. You can absolutely book without knowing your exact timeline or coverage yet. We’ll shape the rest together.

Not at all!!!! Almost every couple tells me this at first.

You do not need to know what to do with your hands or how to pose. I will offer guidance when it is helpful and step back when it is not. Elopements often feel especially good for people who want less pressure and fewer eyes on them, and my approach is designed to support that. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, grounded, and like yourselves, not like you are performing for the camera.

It is a mix, and it is always adjusted to fit what you need from me!

I will guide you when it helps you settle in, move through a moment with more ease, or feel supported, especially during portraits or transitions. During the rest of the day, I work in a more documentary way, letting things unfold naturally while staying attuned to what matters to you. The priority is always your experience first, with photos that honestly reflect it.

The next step is a conversation. We’ll hop on a call to get to know each other, talk through what you’re planning, and see if it feels like a good fit on both sides. After that, I’ll help you choose coverage, send a contract, and get you officially on my calendar.
