Considering an Elopement?

Elopements are becoming an ever more popular way to get married. Away from the pressures that come with a large wedding:

  • lots of guests to manage
  • choosing who to invite
  • being the centre of attention all day
  • trying to please everyone else

You get to have the day that is just about you and what you want. Sometimes with just the couple, sometimes with a small group of loved ones. As an elopement photographer, I capture those special moments that you want to have, with the people who are most important to you, in the destination that you chose as your special place.

If you're looking to break with tradition, keep your wedding low key, or just go on an adventure, elopement is for you.

Elopement Photography

Are you looking for an elopement photographer to capture the natural shots? Those moments of raw emotion, beauty and romance that tell your story as a couple?

There is nothing like an elopement for capturing the spontaneous moments of joy that weddings bring. Just you, your partner and your dream surroundings. A world away from the production or presentation of traditional weddings. A focus on the thing that matters most - you and your partner's love.

Elopements are a favourite of mine because of the simplicity, but power, that they bring. Committing yourself to someone against the stunning backdrops that nature offers is as romantic as it comes.

Pre-Planning

Let's get to know each other! We'll check if I have availability on your wedding date, and if so, we'll start to put your big day together! I'm based in Wisconsin, but can travel to meet you before the day.

The Day

Relax, and enjoy the most magical day. No need to worry about the pictures, I'll be out of your way shooting all those natural shots that make for stunning wedding pictures, and show off the real you.

Relive

Log in to your client area, and select the pictures that you want for proofing. Once you have them, keep them safe and enjoy treasuring those sacred memories forever, with the people who shared your special day.

Choose Your Own Adventure

Are you looking for something unique? If you want your elopement to reflect your personality, we can incorporate any ideas you have into unique wedding pictures. How about:

  • Travl by dog sled
  • Go on a horseback ride
  • Go on a helicopter ride
  • Hike to catch sunrise
  • Ride in a hot air balloon
  • Kayak in the sea
  • Off-roading
  • Rock climbing

Bucket List

I have several bucket list destinations. If you're planning to elope to one of these destinations, you get me for free and only need to pay travel / accommodation!

  • Oregon
  • New Mexico
  • Alaska
  • Hawaii

I've visited 46 states, either personally or professionally. I'd love to make it to all 50 with you!

All wedding packages include initial/final consultation & release of all edited photographs.

 

Packages are customizable based on your location/individual needs and can be further assessed in a consultation.
