What if we don't know
where we want to elope?
Not everyone has their dream destination in mind when planning an elopement. If you are feeling overwhelmed by all of the possibilities, you are not alone! I offer personalized elopement recommendations based on who you are as a couple and what you would actually enjoy. To start your planning process, you don't need to know where you want to elope, you just need to know who you plan on marrying. Take the first step in the right direction by contacting me, and I'll guide you from there!
But What If I Don't Know Where To Elope?
But what if we
want guests to come?
Guests are always welcome! My elopements (or micro weddings, or whatever you want to refer to them as) max out at 15 people. After that, we call it a destination wedding and some of the logistics change as bigger parties require additional planning. Either way, we make it work for your specific needs.
What are we going to do all day?

But What If We Want Guests To Come?
Do you have any bucket list elopement ideas?
ABSOLUTELY. Here are some of my dream elopements:
-Desert and Safari Elopement in Namibia
-Swimming With Whales in Tahiti
-Scuba Elopement (Great Barrier Reef)
-Glacier Elopement in Alaska
-Iceberg Elopement in Greenland
-Hiking Elopement in Patagonia
-Off-Roading Elopement in the Icelandic Highlands
This is NOT an 8 hour photoshoot. This is a day intentionally designed to be your favorite day ever. Typically we plan the day (or days) to include your ceremony and a portraits time (for those epic photos) and then the rest of the day is centered around activities. This could be things like:
A picnic under the stars, time enjoying a hotub, dinner with a private chef, kayaking, going to an arcade, going on an epic hike, scuba diving, etc. Whatever brings you joy!
