The Process to book your dream elopement + Microwedding:
I. Let's talk your dream elopement.
Ask yourself and partner, where the heck do you wanna go on your most precious day? Dream big, dream small + cozy, dream whatever it is that get's you stoked and let's get your date on the calendar. After that, it's all about planning :)
II. let me ensure you have everything you need prior to your elopement day.
When planning your elopement, it is important to ensure all steps are taken prior to the day so that things go smoothly. Like, getting your marriage license, ensuring we have the correct permits, and more. This is where I come in.
III. Photos are delivered in an online gallery 4-10 weeks after your special day.
After spending the day with you, I will begin my magic by carefully selecting the images that tell your day in the most spirited, truthful and beautiful way. All digital and film photos will be uploaded to a password protected online gallery you can access anytime.
All of my packages below include both film + digital photography.
It doesn't get more real than using a 35mm film camera on your special day. Film is slower than digital, it is experimental, and it is also a keepsake. Let me follow you and your partner along, moving in your natural rhythm and play. We don't need to rush - release your expectations, the photos will be documenting you both exactly how you are in real life, focusing on your unique love.
Open to travel, please include your travel info in the contact form when inquiring.

FAQ
Can you describe your Elopement, Microwedding, and Couple's Packages?
I can spend 4 - 12+ hours with a couple for an Elopement (details for pricing are included in my pricing guide). Some couples may even want me to spend 2 days with them instead of just one, to capture more artistic shots or they might want me to adventure around with them in whatever magical location they so choose.
For a micro wedding, my package includes services for up to 12 hours. This is standard and I will be running around with you all day, sharing laughs, capturing all the days ins and outs.
Couple's shoots begin at $450. We meticulously plan these together so that you have SO MUCH FUN! I love to incorporate my couple's favorite locations, venues, restaurants, bar, beach or their favorite hobbies, like surfing. The photos always turn out magical and it is such a nice keepsake to have and to look back on your relationship someday.
Why do you shoot on film? Do we have to have that?
I love shooting on film because it provides such a nostalgic feeling that digital just cannot provide. What do I mean by nostalgic? The photographs feel special and there is a timeless quality to the images. Film photos feel like rare keepsakes you get to look back on forever and are especially beautiful when printed. I love shooting film.
If you would rather have your day mostly shot on film or mostly shot on digital, or if you don't want one versus the other -- please let me know. I am more than happy to accommodate your needs, just ask :)
Will you help us plan our Elopement?
YES. Let's hear your vision. I can help you find the perfect location for doing so. Beach, trail, courthouse. I can also find out if we will need permits. I am your girl - need help perusing AirBnB's? Need help picking out a wardrobe color palette for you and your love? Here for it all. On your actual day, my calm + charismatic personality will ensure you two have the most comfortable day ever, soaking it all in.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I am based in Los Angeles and open to traveling. If you are not sure where you would like to elope yet, we can chat about your vision and expectations. Travel expenses will need to be covered if you would like to hire me for your special day out of town.
How and when will we receive our photos?
It truly depends! The images I select are based on quality and authenticity. I never leave out images in the final gallery that tell your best story. On a full elopement day, you can expect anywhere from 200-400 images, both film + digital.
You will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within maximum 10 weeks (sometimes less depending on the season I photograph your story). You can download all the photos from the gallery but also share them, choose your favorites, and also order prints.
What happens if the weather is unfavorable?
It is always, always good to have a plan B. Even a plan C. Research your location and what season you will be wanting to book your session. This the best thing you can do. If on your elopement, microwedding, or couple's session there is rain, we still gotta make it work...and we will :) If there is a thunderstorm, we will have to resort to plan B or plan C. Which we will have in place.
If there is a torrential disaster, we will need to reschedule (tornado, hurricane, etc.). Unfortunately, due to reserving the date which eliminates me from booking clients on that day, I will be unable to refund your deposit.
