The Elopement Experience
Elopements tend to slow things down.
The connection.
The chapter you’re beginning.
The space to actually feel it.
There’s room to breathe. To wander a little. To let the day unfold without a timeline packed down to the minute.
Maybe it’s sunrise in the mountains.
Maybe it’s a quiet overlook that means something to you.
Wherever it happens, I’m there to document it honestly — grounded, present, and unforced.
The result isn’t just beautiful images.
It’s a record of how it actually felt to stand there and say yes.

Ashley was nothing short of PHENOMENAL. She took her time, was very thorough, gave clear directions and gave us the pictures we truly wanted. I am very critical of photos and my gallery is better than I ever dreamed possible. Ashley also drove six hours to photograph my wedding, took hours worth of photos, scoped out our venue for the best lighting/angles prior to the ceremony, all for a very affordable price. We spent over $2,000 on a coordinator and they did a fraction of the work Ashley did. I could go on for hours, she is incredible!

TOGETHER
From first email to final gallery
Before your day
Once you're booked, we'll talk through the details — locations, timing, permits if needed, and anything else that helps the day feel smooth.
Some couples hike a little farther. Some bring a few close family members. Others keep it just the two of them.
However the day takes shape, I'll help guide the logistics so you can stay focused on the day itself.
On your day
After your day
Elopements give us flexibility.
We’re not tied to a packed timeline or waiting on a Dj to set up.
We can chase the best light.
Move around if we want to.
Pause when something feels good instead of rushing to the next thing.
If you want to hike a little farther, stay out until the sun drops behind the mountains, or pop champagne just because — we can.
There’s room to make it yours.
Within a few days, you’ll receive a preview — just enough to bring you right back to it.
Your full gallery follows, carefully curated and cohesively edited.
Balanced. Intentional. True to the way the day felt.
Elopement collections begin at $1,200.
Pricing varies depending on time, travel, and the kind of day you're planning. Most elopements fall between $1,200–$2,800 depending on coverage and travel.
Every elopement looks a little different, so I'm happy to create a custom proposal based on your plans.
