01. SHOULD YOU ELOPE?

Eloping is for couples who value intimacy, presence, and intentionality over performance.



If you dream of a day that feels deeply yours — slow, connected, and without pressure — an elopement might be the perfect fit. It gives you the freedom to focus on what matters most: the vows, the emotions, and the sacredness of the moment, without the noise of tradition or expectation.

02. PICK A LOCATION

Choosing your location is all about finding a place that feels true to you. Whether that’s a quiet forest path, a golden field, a mountaintop, your home, or somewhere meaningful from your story — the right spot will set the tone and help you feel comfortable and connected.

I have a full blog post with my favorite locations, tips, and ideas if you want extra guidance. You don’t have to decide alone — I’m here to help find the perfect setting.

03. SEASON & TIMELINE

Every season tells a different story.

Spring is soft and hopeful. Summer is golden and wild. Fall is warm and soulful. Winter is quiet, cozy, and intimate.



Whatever season speaks to your heart, we’ll shape your timeline to honor the light — drifting into golden hour, chasing soft shadows, or embracing moody overcast skies. I’ll guide you through the best times to shoot so everything feels effortless and beautiful.

04. GUEST LIST

Your guest list becomes part of your story — the people who witness your vows, your laughter, your sacred moments. An intimate elopement keeps things quiet and personal. A bigger wedding fills the day with joy, energy, and community.



Choose what feels most like your relationship. I’ll be there to document the people who matter most, in the most honest, nostalgic way.

05. LOGISTICS

The logistics don’t have to feel overwhelming — I guide you through everything. Once you book, I’ll help with location ideas, timeline planning, lighting suggestions, travel details, and anything else you need to feel prepared. My goal is to keep things simple, organized, and stress-free so you can focus on enjoying the moment.

06. LEGAL DETAILS

The legal side is simple: a signed contract and a retainer hold your date. The contract exists to protect your story and my ability to tell it — outlining what you’ll receive, payment details, timelines, and policies. It keeps everything honest, clear, and grounded so you can relax and enjoy the process.
