From the start of this photography process until the end, I want you to know that you are taken care of. You want your wedding planning experience to be one that you can say you enjoyed. As a former bride, I completely understand how planning a big wedding, or any type of wedding, can quickly turn into a huge ball of stress. I want you to know - I’ve got you covered. I’m not only here to be your elopement photographer, I’m also here to be your wedding planner and coordinator, all in one. Let the stress of small details fall to the wayside because I've got elopement photography packages that include everything you're thinking of.

When I said I include everything, I mean everything. My wedding and elopement photography packages give you a photographer that is there to photograph your elopement or wedding the entire freaking time. I've eliminated the stress of deciding which hourly package to choose from, because to be honest with you - I believe you need all of it.
I've been asked "What if we only need an hour or two of photo coverage?" and what I say to that is, your day deserves to be remembered from start to finish. I'm not gonna half ass your day. With all-inclusive wedding and elopement packages you don't have to worry about time constraints. We can plan to get up for sunrise vows in the Adirondack Mountains, a midday boat ride, and an evening firework send off.
I'm yours for the entire day.
If you want to get married in a quaint area of Upstate New York , I’m down to map out a plan on how we will make the journey. If you’re more of a backyard, party-with-my-family type of couple, I’ll help you find the coolest airbnb you’ve ever been too. Wherever you decide you want your intimate wedding or elopement to be, I’m going to find a location that is perfect for you.
Location Planning Call
Let’s get to elopement planning with a personalized vision of your day for YOU. If you have no idea where to start, that’s where the first elopement & intimate wedding planning session will guide you in the right direction. We will go through your wedding day from start to finish, and solidify an outline for anything and everything you might want to include. I’ll then come up with a list of detailed options for you to choose from.

The Planning Process
I would never just leave you hangin’!! Before your intimate wedding or elopement day, I send over a final checklist of everything you might need. The last thing you want to forget are your hiking boots when you’ve got an early morning alarm for vows at the top of Mount Marcy.
Final Details & Checklist
What’s a full-day elopement without a timeline to go with it? In every intimate wedding & elopement that I photograph, my top priority is making sure my couples feel comfortable, and a part of that means creating a timeline. I find that this takes a huge chunk of stress out of the planning process because when my couples can visually see how the day will come together, it makes them that much more excited.
Timeline Creation
Not only are we planning a wedding celebration, but it's got to be official on paper too! I'll have the legal marriage filing process ready to go.
TIME TO GET YOU MARRIED
Let's get married
Photos that make your jaw drop. My end goal is to have a blast with you and deliver a gallery you can't take your eyes off of.
5 or 10 hours of coverage. Split this up however you want, but I'm here to give you the most out of my skills and telling your story.
Travel costs. You don't have to worry about picking a time or place based on the cost of travel, each elopement and intimate wedding package has travel included for any location you want to go to.
A custom vision. I'm going to take the time to make this day genuinely about the both of you. If that means you want to take a helicopter ride through the Grand Canyon, we're doing it!!
Location scouting and planning in any of the 50 states, Puerto Rico & international destinations.
What's in each elopement package
Let's get married
Nothing pulls at the heart strings more than seeing your day in movement form. Another big part of visually telling your story is narrating your wedding day through video. A video that you’re excited as hell to watch, and one that makes those you love feel like they were right there with you.
It's not just about the photos
FAQ
My style is just as I am as a person. Laid back, but ready to go when you need me. I try to make my time with you as fun as I possibly can so that you don't feel like you're getting your picture taken. Making you comfortable is my number one priority, and through doing that your photos turn out genuine and stunning.
1. What is your "photography style"?
Hell yes I travel! Nothing makes me more excited than getting an inquiry from out of state or even internationally. I'm always in for a new experience and elopement location.
2. YOU'Re BASED IN NY, DO YOU TRAVEL?
My planning process includes everything from picking a date and location, to getting you a permit for your national park ceremony. I will recommend vendors and help those vendors with timing and scheduling of the day as well. However, wedding planners are extremely helpful in coordinating the aspects of the day in which I won't be there for. Majority of my time will be spent with you, so if it makes you feel comfortable to hire someone to handle the excess details, then absolutely go for it!
3. HOW MUCH PLANNING DO YOU DO?WILL WE STILL NEED A WEDDING PLANNER?
A question highly thought of, but rarely asked. The answer is YES. In beginning my journey into photographing elopements I was forced to go to locations I had never been to. I learned how to plan with resources such as Google Earth, All Trails, Skyscanner, and others to set up & plan successful trips for myself. I use these same resources to do your intimate wedding and elopement planning.
4. CAN YOU PHOTOGRAPH US IN A LOCATION YOU'VE NEVER BEEN?
There's a lot that goes into planning a full day elopement, but I can assure you this will not be anything close to a 8 hour photoshoot. Let's be real, I can't be on my feet that long either!! While a good portion of your day will be documented, there are also times where we will step back and take a non-invasive approach to give you time to yourselves. Allowing this much time for coverage gives you a worry free day in terms of what we did or didn't capture.
5. WE DON'T WANT AN ALL DAY PHOTOSHOOT, WHY IS YOUR MINIMUM PACKAGE FOR 10 HOURS?
Said every couple in the history of ever! Yes, I can make you look your very best, but the photos in my galleries speak for themselves. Not one of my couples looks like I was standing there with a camera next to their faces. A big part of getting shots where you don't look or feel awkward is about getting to know you. Thats why I take the time to do so before we even start planning your elopement or intimate wedding.
6. WE'RE SO AWKWARD IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA, CAN YOU HELP US LOOK good?
