Questions? I’ve got answers.

  • As soon as possible! Most couples book 10-12 months in advance but shorter time frames still happen. Elopements are typically planned with shorter timelines in mind so booking 1-2 months prior to is ideal!

  • I’ll be honest: it would be almost weird if you knew what you were doing!

    My job is to direct you, prompt you, and guide you throughout the entire day. When we’re not walking through portraits the rest is just natural and candid.

  • Yep! Upon booking I require a $600 non-refundable retainer. This goes towards the total cost of your collection. The balance is due 2 weeks prior to your wedding date.

  • Of course! In fact I’d prefer to be involved! Timelines are essential to wedding AND elopements. Knowing how to guide the day is key in ensuring everyone keeps their stress levels to a minimum!

  • The quality of your wedding photos shouldn’t rely on your budget. Collections are priced to allow couples to experience quality, welcoming & fun photography.

    Pricing starts at $1660 for elopements and up to $2890 for a full 8 hour day.
