Elopement Photography

For the souls who crave the quiet over the noise

Eloping is a brave decision — to go against the grain and choose only what matters most: your love, your vows, and being together. I want you to know that I support you, every step of the way.

Whether it’s the two of you gathered under a tree in your backyard, adventuring up a mountain, or saying “I do” at the very place you met, you are choosing freedom and intention over tradition and expectation. I respect that, and I want your photos to reflect how your day felt with honesty and care.

If you're dreaming of a day that’s unhurried, grounded, and private, I would be honored to document every quiet, sacred moment.

Photography That Lets You Be Natural. Unrushed. Uncomplicated.

Elopements are my favorite. There’s no pressure to perform — just the chance to be present.

I’ll be there like a friend with a camera: quietly documenting your laughter, your excitement and the quiet moments. I’ll guide gently when needed while letting the genuine moments lead.

Because you deserve photographs that feel like how it really was: wild, warm and completely yours.

  • A beige paper envelope with its flap open and a wax seal at the bottom left corner.

    2. Booking

    I’ll send a contract and invoice to secure your date on my calendar. You’ll pay a retainer fee that goes towards your final balance.

    3. Planning & Engagement Shoot

    Once your date is booked, we can move forward with timing and planning your engagement session!

  • A single white rose with green leaves and a green stem.

    4. The Big Day

    It’s here! You focus on being in the moment with your person and let me focus on getting the shots.

You Might Be Wondering…

  • Not to worry! I will listen to your vision and then give you coverage options based on your needs. No two elopements are alike, which is why I customize quotes and coverage for each one.

  • Yes, and I love too!! Whether you’re staying in RVA or traveling anywhere from coast to coast. Travel fees may apply.

  • Within 4-8 weeks your gallery will be in your inbox!

  • I never want to leave you feeling nervous or awkward, so I carefully read the room. If you are needing direction, I will hop in, but if you are in the moment, I will not interrupt.
