Meaningful Experience
Elopements are an incredible way to combine a fun, memorable, and adventurous experience with your vows and commitment to your partner. Consider what would bring you life. What have you always wanted to do together? What’s your perfect day? The sky is the limit and I’m here to capture your dream!
Some ideas include:
- Jeeping in Moab, Utah
- A sunrise hike to a San Juan mountain peak
- Paddle boarding after your vows
- Rafting the river
- Helicopter ride to a once in a lifetime location
- Fly fishing
- A personal chef cooking a meal for a collection of your closest friends or family
I encourage you to think about what is meaningful to you, after all, that is what is so fantastic about eloping. You don’t have to stress about what others expectations are, instead you get to decide what you are most excited about. A few questions to think about:
- Do we want desert arches, mountain peaks, alpine lakes, rivers, or forests?
- What kind of activities do we want to do before/during/after our elopement?
- Where do we want to stay the night(s) after our elopement?
- Are we having guests? How many? Are we bringing our dog(s)?
These are all wonderful things to start to process as a couple. I would love to help you process and decide what sounds best for your experience!
Style
I focus on capturing images that tell the story of who you are as a couple. I love to interact my couples and see what makes them come alive.
I believe that getting your picture taken should be easy and fun…without all the fuss. Captured in a natural outdoor setting to make you look your absolute best. Authentic. Bright. Full of joy!
Timing
The best months depend on where you want elope ~ high mountains are fantastic June through October, unless you want a snowy adventure, which is great between December-April. Want to go to the desert? Fall and spring are fantastic times of year before it gets too hot. The great news about elopements is that they can be planned for any time of the year and are actually best on a weekday when there is less traffic, people, and more open surroundings for photos. It’s wonderful to start planning your elopement 3-9 months in advance so you can secure lodging, travel plans, and have time to think about what kind of experience you want.
As for time of day, sunrise or sunset are the ideal times for photos to highlight the amazing landscape and best lighting. Elopements begin at 4 hours of coverage, and can go anywhere up to 12 hours. Let’s chat to discuss the specifics of your day!
