Add-ons:
- Engagement photoshoot
Let’s find a spot that’s special to you two, get comfy in front of the camera, and make some memories. Whether it’s a scenic overlook, a cozy coffee shop, or your favorite hiking trail, this session is all about capturing your connection in a relaxed, natural way. Plus, if you’ve booked a wedding package, you’ll get a special discount on your engagement session!

- 7-Day Expedited Gallery Delivery
Want your full gallery delivered within a week instead of a month? With this add-on, I’ll clear my schedule to fast-track your photos so you can relive your best moments while they’re still fresh.
- Second Photographer
Want even more coverage? A second photographer can capture extra angles, reactions, and moments you might not see—like both of you getting ready separately or a wide landscape shot while I focus on the close-up emotions. Since elopements are typically more intimate and laid-back, most couples don’t find a second shooter necessary, but if you want extra perspectives, it’s always an option!

Want to say your vows at sunrise without the early morning rush? This add-on lets us hike up the night before, camp or stay nearby, and wake up to an epic, stress-free sunrise elopement. No racing against the clock—just breathtaking views, soft morning light, and a peaceful, intimate moment to start your forever.
Frequently Asked Questions
A 4-hour elopement is great for couples who want a laid-back, intimate experience with just enough time to capture the ceremony, a scenic couples’ session, and a few natural, unscripted moments. Whether you're exchanging vows on a quiet overlook, celebrating with a toast, or taking a short post-ceremony hike, this package allows you to slow down and enjoy the moment without the pressure of a full-day timeline.
Yes! If your locations are close together, we can fit in multiple spots. For example, you could have your ceremony at a scenic overlook and then move to a nearby forest or waterfall for portraits. However, if you're hoping to explore several locations with more travel time in between, you may want to consider my 8-hour elopement package for more flexibility.
If you want just a few quick getting-ready shots before heading to your ceremony, we can definitely fit them in! However, if you want a full story of your morning—like hair and makeup, emotional moments, and all the little details—you may need a longer package.
Some locations require permits, especially in national and state parks. If your chosen spot needs one, I’ll help you navigate the process—researching requirements, guiding you through applications, and making sure everything is good to go. Permit fees aren’t included, but I’ll ensure you know exactly what’s needed.
Yes! This package works best for just the two of you or a small handful of guests. If you’re planning a bigger celebration or want photos of guests mingling, my longer coverage options may be a better fit.
Absolutely! If you decide during your elopement that you’d like more time, you can add extra coverage in 2-hour increments (as long as my schedule allows). This flexibility ensures you get the photos and experience you want without feeling rushed.
Elopements are all about going with the flow, but if the weather takes a turn, we’ll adjust. Since this is a shorter package, we’ll have to make the most of the time we have—whether that means a slight timeline shift, finding a sheltered spot, or embracing the moodiness of nature. My gear isn’t waterproof, so in heavy rain, I may adjust how I shoot to protect my equipment, but I’m always flexible and will work with you to get the best possible photos. If you want a bit more flexibility, a longer package might be worth considering.
