You Can Have Twice the Magic with Two Photographers

From our very first interaction, she was prompt, friendly, & incredibly helpful in answering all of our questions & guiding us through the process.

Your Story, In Black and White
Black and white photos take away the distractions of color and let the real emotions shine through.
They make every moment feel timeless, full of depth, and rich with storytelling—so you can truly feel the love in every image.
Your gallery will have black and white images mixed in!
And you'll receive teasers in 24 hours!
You will receive a handful of images 24 hours after your elopement day so you can see how your dream day photos became a reality and you'll be able to relive each moment!
Some elopement locations require a permit, especially if you're getting married in a national park, state park, or other protected areas. The good news? It’s usually a simple process! I can help guide you through figuring out if you need one, how to apply, and what to expect. Every location is different, so it’s always best to check ahead of time to avoid any surprises on your big day!
Will we need a permit for our elopement location, and how do we get one?
Yes! Being a dog person myself I understand the importance of having fur kiddos be included! I will be sure to recommend locations that will be dog friendly as some locations do not allow pets.
I don't recommend bringing along pooches that don't deal with new surroundings well. But you know your pup best, so it's your call in the end!
Can we bring our dog to our elopement?
