I'm not just an elopement photographer. I was an elopement bride myself. I know just how special it is to pick a place and exchange vows with your person, no fluff or crowd watching you. The adventure of stepping into a new phase of life with your loved one, while surrounded by the beauty of nature...
is indescribable.

all about the
ELOPEMENT
EXPERIENCE
From our first conversation to your final gallery, you’ll feel supported every step of the way. I’ll help you plan a photography-friendly timeline, stay in touch throughout the process, and offer natural direction so you can relax, be yourselves, and stay present with the people you love.
Your elopement isn’t a performance—it’s a day to fully experience. I’ll document it honestly, preserving the big emotions, quiet exchanges, and unscripted moments you’ll want to return to for years to come.
My WORK IS BEST DESCRIBED AS
HONEST.
STORY-DRIVEN.
CLASSIC.
Your photographs should feel like your actual elopement—not a version of it shaped by trends or forced poses. I document the day as it naturally unfolds, while stepping in with thoughtful direction when you need it. The result is a gallery that feels honest, looks timeless, and tells the full story of the people and moments that made the day yours.

YOU'RE LOOKING FOR:
photos you'll want to hang up
The kind of photographs that deserve more than a permanent home in your camera roll—made to be printed, framed, and enjoyed everyday.
a gallery that brings it all back
Not only how everything looked, but the nerves, happy tears, belly laughs, and moments you didn't even realize were happening.
time with people who matter
Photography that works with your elopement instead of taking it over. Your elopement is about YOU, not the photos. Photos are just the cherry on top.

I don’t want to show up at your elopement feeling like a stranger with a camera. By then, I’ll know what matters most to you, who your people are, and the moments you never want to forget. That relationship allows me to photograph your day with greater care, intention, and understanding.

Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should we book?
Most couples book 9–18 months ahead. Once your date and venue are set, I recommend reaching out as soon as possible.
How do we reserve our date?
After choosing your collection, you’ll sign your contract and pay the required retainer. Once both are completed, your date is officially reserved.
Do you create the timeline?
I’ll collaborate with you to create a photography timeline that keeps everything organized without making the day feel rushed.
Do you travel?
Absolutely. I photograph elopements throughout East Tennessee, Southwest Virginia, Western North Carolina, and beyond. Travel fees may apply.
Do we need a 2nd photographer?
Not every elopement does. We’ll consider your location, timeline, and overall priorities of the day.
What if you haven't photogrpahed our CHOSEN LOCATION?
That’s completely fine. I’ll research it in advance and, when possible, scout the location beforehand so I become familiar with the area and best spots.
