A conversation first The first step is simple: tell me what you’re dreaming about, even if it’s only half-formed.Maybe you know the place. Maybe you only know that you want something smaller, slower, and more honest than a traditional wedding day. “Somewhere in Europe, next fall, just us” is plenty. From there, we’ll hop on a relaxed call to talk through your vision, date, guest count, budget, and what kind of coverage makes the most sense for the day you’re imagining. Then I’ll send over a tailored proposal with package details and pricing.Once you’re ready, a signed agreement and retainer lock in your date. After that, we shape the rest together—and every question or 2 a.m. “is this a weird idea?” email is welcome in my inbox.

Support without overwhelm Elopements can feel simple in the best way, but that doesn't mean you have to figure it all out alone.I'll start by sending a questionnaire to learn what matters most to you—how you want the day to feel, what kind of experience you're hoping for, and the priorities that will shape everything else.From there, we build the day together.Here's where my approach is a little different: I plan events professionally, so I can be as involved in the planning process as you'd like. Some couples want help with everything—location ideas, permit research, vendor recommendations, travel logistics, weather plans, and building a timeline around the best light. Others already have the details handled and simply want someone to document the day honestly and beautifully. Both are exactly right.Together, we'll create a timeline with room to breathe, wander, pause, and actually experience your wedding day instead of racing through it.My approach blends gentle editorial direction with documentary awareness—guiding when it helps and stepping back when the moment belongs to you.Whether we're walking through city streets, standing on a coastline, exploring somewhere new, or returning to a place that already means something, I'm there to document what unfolds naturally.You may be planning this for the first time, but you don't have to do it alone. My goal is to make the entire experience feel effortless, intentional, and unmistakably yours.

Present, not performingYou wake up, get ready, and get married.I arrive early, quietly keep an eye on the moving pieces, and photograph the day as it unfolds. If something shifts — weather, timing, nerves, plans — I adjust around you.Elopement coverage is built around the rhythm of your day, not a checklist of moments you have to force. I want it to feel like a day that is fully about the two of you — connected, present, and in the moment, not worried about the photos.My approach blends gentle editorial direction with documentary awareness: guiding when it helps, stepping back when the moment belongs to you.Whether we’re walking through city streets, standing on a coastline, exploring somewhere new, or returning to a place that already means something, I’m there to make the experience feel stress-free, fun, and memorable — never to distract from your story.Less posing, more unfolding.

A full memoryA sneak peek arrives within 72 hours, because I know you won’t want to wait.Your full gallery follows within 8 weeks, carefully curated, edited in my cinematic, film-inspired style, and delivered online with full-resolution downloads and print options.And a little later, something tangible will arrive in the mail — a small surprise to help you remember the day beyond the screen.

Not the last timeThese photos become the way you return to the day — the nerves, the light, the moment it all became real.The wedding is not a finish line. It is the beginning of the record.Many couples return for future chapters: anniversaries, travels, growing families, and the next adventure worth remembering. And when that time comes, you already know a photographer who will meet you there.
