You know you want to elope in Idaho - just not for the pretty photos, but for the experience of it.


An intentional, meaningful day that’s all about you two. No expectations, no pressure to perform, no “because we’re supposed to.” Just the two of you

(maybe a few favorite humans), somewhere beautiful, doing it your way.

But if you're anything like most couples, you're probably thinking… cool, love that for us — but how the heck do we actually make this happen? That's where I come in.

Washington


Washington is made for couples who want their wedding to feel personal, not performative. With its wildly diverse landscapes — from rugged beaches to misty forests — you can create a day that actually reflects you. Plus, it’s easy to access, marriage laws are straightforward, and you’ll never run out of stunning, secluded spots to celebrate.

Montana


Montana doesn’t try to impress — and that’s exactly why it does. There’s something grounding about its wide-open spaces, towering peaks, and small-town charm that makes an elopement here feel honest and real. Its a place that lets you breathe, be present, and just be together.

FAQ

Can you help us plan? We have no idea where to start.

Absolutely - most couples feel the same way! I'm here to help and can offer guidance with locations & permits...timing (hello golden hour) and more tips to make it meaningful and intimate customized to you.

How far in advance should we book?

For travel elopements, 3-6 months in advance is ideal. Local dates can sometimes be more flexible. If you're planning something spontaneous, still reach out - I might just have your date open!

Do you charge travel fees?

Most of my packages already include a fee for travel, however sometimes it depends on where your elopement takes place. Some destinations require add-ons for flights or lodging: I'll be fully transparent from the beginning - no surprises.

What even is an elopement these days?

Great question - because elopements aren't just courthouse ceremonies anymore.
An elopement can be just the two of you exchanging vows near an alpine lake or a cozy celebration with just a few of your favorite people. It's less about tradition, more about intention.

Can I bring my dog? Horse? Motorcycle?

Yes, please! Bring the horse and the motorcycle. Anything and everything that represents and is meaningful to you is always welcomed.

Do you shoot traditional weddings as well?

Yes, sure do! Elopements have a special kind of magic, but I still photograph traditional weddings all the time! Whether it's a big celebration with hundreds of people or a backyard party with a packed dance floor, I'm here for it.
