An elopement isn’t about doing less, it’s about experiencing more
More time together. More intention. More meaning. More adventure.
An intentionally crafted elopement photography experience, built around who you are and how you love
What if your wedding day felt less like a timeline…
and more like the best day of your life?
This isn’t a two-hour ceremony and a few scenic portraits.
Your elopement deserves to feel as unique as your relationship, intentionally designed around who you are and how you love. If the idea of a day that feels personal, meaningful, and completely your own matters to you, then you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
I help couples create elopement experiences that go beyond a few rushed hours, building days filled with moments that feel natural, intentional, and unforgettable. Maybe that looks like sunrise coffee with a view, dancing in the kitchen before brunch, exchanging vows somewhere deeply meaningful, or embracing adventure wherever your story leads.
This is for couples who want to truly live their wedding day, not just schedule it.
You deserve a photographer who believes in your experience as much as your photos and is there to help create and capture it every step of the way.
You’re Engaged!
…Now what?
If you already know you want something intentional, personal, and completely your own, you’re in the right place. Because working with me isn’t just about hiring someone to show up, hike a trail, take a few photos, and head home. This isn’t about a short adventure and a gallery delivery. It’s about intentional planning, thoughtful guidance, shared excitement, and creating an experience you’ll carry with you long after the day is over.
From the early planning stages and big ideas, to the moments when you’re unsure what comes next, I’m in it with you. The late-night questions. The timeline decisions. The excitement, the nerves, the “are we doing this right?” moments, all of it.
And if that’s the kind of support you’re looking for, I’d love to start turning your dreams into reality!
Hello there, I’m Stephanie
I’m here to turn your dream into the best day ever!
My role goes far beyond showing up with a camera.
I help couples create elopement days that feel intentional, relaxed, and completely their own. Whether that looks like a full day exploring somewhere meaningful or a multi-day adventure designed around your favorite experiences, I’m here to help you slow down and actually live every moment.
From location ideas and planning support to gentle guidance in front of the camera, you’ll never be left wondering what comes next. My goal is simple: for you to feel comfortable, present, and fully yourselves while your story unfolds naturally.
If you’re dreaming of an elopement that feels less like a production and more like an experience you’ll never want to end, you’re in the right place.
For the couples that want the full story, not just the ceremony.
You’re not looking for ordinary, you’re ready for something meaningful

-
I capture your love story, your way.
This is more candid moments that are less posed, with a focus on naturally guiding you as a couple.
As we plan your elopement day(s) together, we will discuss this heavily -
Do you prefer me to capture the moments 100% how they happen, as they happen?
Do you want me to gently guide you with small prompts to get your gears going but still moving naturally?
Do you want certain parts of your day fully posed?
There will likely be a mixture of all three of these elements, depending on what/where/how we are doing each portion of the day. But I will make sure we are on the same page, and you are fully comfortable in front of the camera!
-
The number of photos fully depends on the number of hours / day’s that you choose when booking, combined with the number of activities happening.
For example -
A couple who books a 6-hour elopement, is planning for a more traditional day of getting ready at their accommodations, private vows, ceremony, cake, and an activity will maybe get 500-800 photos.
A couple who books a 1.5 Day experience, who plans to have a thermos of coffee on their favorite sunrise hike, go back and make brunch together while dancing to their favorite music in the kitchen, get ready in more relaxed attire and go to a local indie bookstore and coffee shop to get candid photos of them enjoying their favorite hobbies, going back and getting dressed up with hair and makeup for their late afternoon sunset hike for their bridal portraits and private vows. Then stargazing and lantern photos to close out the evening. The next day, dressing up to experience a second location close by - not limiting themselves to one hike or one backdrop for their photos - to get more bridal portraits focused on the hiking adventure to get there. This couple may get 1,500+ photos. depending on how much down time there is in between activities.
I am the type of photographer that gives you back all the useable photos that I have, fully edited of course. I only remove out unflattering photos, duplicates of the same photo, or a photo that doesn’t tell the story properly.
Trust me when I say - you will get plenty of photos! But the more time we have together, and the more things we have planned for the day, the more photos there will be.
I generally get a quick sneak peak of 3-10 photos to you ASAP (This could be the night of if your day ends at a time that allows, or the next morning) and the remainder of photos generally take 3-6 weeks. If you need photos sooner than this, you can always request them to be rushed.
-
Making sure that your photos make it from day-of to final product is super important!
I personally shoot on Sony full-frame cameras, I always have 2 or more cameras on me (incase one is faulty day-of) and at least two of those cameras are dual slot (hold 2 SD cards in them, so that if an SD card is corrupt, we will still have your memories saved properly!)
Immediately after your adventure experience, I backup all photos to an external SSD. So at this point, your photos are on two SD cards and an SSD.
When I travel, ALL of my equipment stays on me at all times. They are in my carry on luggage, they are kept on my person, and there is no chance for them going missing.
When I deliver your photos to you, I use an online gallery where you are able to view and download them to your own personal devices (This gallery can have a password added if you choose as well, so there is no chance others can view without your permission)
I keep all photos on external SSD even after delivery.
-
Elopements can be spur of the moment, or planned out 6-12+ months in advance.
Honestly, it depends on you! I book out 2+ years for my photography calendar, but that doesn’t mean I won’t have availability for a more spontaneous elopement, some people plan in as little as 4-6 weeks if we both have a date that works!
Head over to my Content page and let me know a date/date range, and I’m sure we can find a day that works for us both!
-
Go over to my “contact” page and fill out the inquiry form!
I will get back to you quickly to let you know if I have your date available, and if so, we can discuss further and see if we’d be a good fit to work together. (This can be a video call, a phone call, through some text messages, or staying in email for the time being)
If you decide you 100% want to book with me, I will send over my contract and invoice for the retainer fee that (once signed and paid) puts you on my calendar officially, and we can begin the full planning process together!
-
Without a doubt, yes!
Love is love, and if you want to argue that, you are not my ideal client.
