ELOPEMENT INFO & PRICING
I'M WRITING YOU A PERMISSION SLIP TO HAVE THE INTIMATE WEDDING DAY OF YOUR DREAMS.
I welcome you to the party of eloping couples who have thrown out tradition & crafted an elopement experience perfectly unique to them.
WHAT IS AN ALL DAY ELOPEMENT?
I'm glad you asked! Traditional weddings by default always get full day coverage and an elopement should be no different- it's your wedding day after all! With elopements you aren't bound to a venue's strict timeline so when I say the world is your oyster, I truly mean it. I tell my couples to dream up their most perfect day from the second they wake up to the moment they lay their heads on the pillow at night. What types of scenes are you seeing? What are you drinking and eating? What are your favorite activities to do? With all day elopements I'll capture your sweet getting ready moments, your first look, ceremony, and all the activities & exploration we can pack in. I promise this is not an all day photoshoot whatsoever. Your wedding day will be intentionally crafted to incorporate your favorite landscapes and passions- plus we'll be taking advantage of the most gorgeous light at sunrise or sunset!
WHAT EXACTLY IS AN ADVENTURE ELOPEMENT? DO I HAVE TO HIKE?
Drumroll please! An adventure elopement can be WHATEVER YOU IMAGINE IT TO BE! Seriously they are that cool. They can be in nature or they can be in your favorite city. If you've got a location already in mind- that's great! If you come to me and all you know is that you want to elope but literally nothing else- I'm here to help! I specialize in elopements of 20 guests max to really put the emphasis back on you marrying your best friend surrounded by a select VIP group of people (if you want to have guests). Most times I'm capturing getting ready in the morning, your first look, vow exchange + ceremony, and any activities or exploration you want to incorporate in your day.

SAY IT LOUD & SAY IT PROUD.
I am allowed to have a beautiful wedding day wherever I want, with whoever I want, wearing whatever I want, celebrating however I want, and eating & drinking whatever I want.

FAQS
• HOW DO WE BOOK YOU?
You fill out my contact form, we chat on the phone, and then to make it official you both sign the contracts and pay the 50% retainer fee of the collection of your choosing!
• WHAT DAYS OF THE WEEK DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH ELOPEMENTS?
I photograph elopements Monday-Thursday.
• WHAT TIME OF DAY DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH ELOPEMENTS?
I photograph elopement ceremonies within two hours after sunrise or within 2 hours before sunset to get the dreamiest light for my couples. Some locations automatically default to a sunrise or sunset ceremony though based on lighting and crowds.
• WHEN IT SAYS *TRAVEL INCLUDED* IN YOUR COLLECTIONS, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
To make it extremely easy on my couples, I've rolled my travel fee into all the packages. This includes transportation to get me to your wedding location, accommodations, gas & meals. I book this all myself so you don't do any added work there :) Clients are responsible for paying any additional travel related costs beyond this including, but not limited to, travel via four-wheel drive roads with appropriate vehicles and guided transportation, helicopters, ferries, gondolas, cable cars, float planes, bush planes, funicular trains, etc. For example, the only time you'd be getting an invoice for an added fee would be if you wanted me to come along for a helicopter, hot air balloon, boat ride etc (in those cases you'd pay for my ticket if you wanted those activities captured).
• WHAT IS YOUR EDITING STYLE?
There are current trends right now that swing to super light & airy or the other side is more dark and moody. My editing style is very classic and timeless so you can remember the wedding day for what it really was. The photos are vibrant and true to color!
• WHERE DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH ELOPEMENTS?
Currently I'm booking elopements in the following areas: Boston, Cambridge, Cape Cod, New Hampshire, and Bar Harbor/Acadia NP Maine. I've decided to really focus on the areas I know like the back of my hand to best serve my couples.
• CAN YOU PHOTOSHOP ME?
I'm a big believer in capturing real moments and promoting natural beauty so I don't ever do any photoshopping of body alterations such as changing hair color, changing shape of nose/eyes/body to be bigger or smaller. If there is a certain cosmetic edit you want done it can be outsourced for an additional fee. That being said I do photoshop out distractions to give you beautiful magazine worthy images! This includes removing exit signs, unwanted photo bombers, taming flyaway hairs, swapping heads & eyes (for those who blink a lot), removing blemishes, and making rings sparkle.
I just like to give my clients 100% confidence that if life gets messy or a zit decides to bless you on wedding day you have no reason to worry whatsoever.
• CAN WE INVITE FRIENDS AND FAMILY? HOW ABOUT OUR PETS?
Of course! You are more than welcome to have a celebration with just the two of you or you can absolutely bring your VIP family and friends along. My intimate weddings and elopements are capped at 20 people. Animals are always welcome at your wedding! I've photographed dogs, cats, and even horses.
• WHAT IF THERE IS BAD WEATHER SCHEDULED FOR OUR ELOPEMENT DAY?
I don't believe in bad weather only bad gear! Growing up in New England I have photographed in all weather conditions from snowy days in Vermont to rainy days. In my opinion rainy days can create some of the most romantic photos (I also bring along clear umbrellas for you too!). The couples I love working with are ready to have a dance party in the rain and embrace the weather no matter what!
• IT SAYS YOU ARE A "LEAVE NO TRACE" CERTIFIED PHOTOGRAPHER- WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
I'm a huge advocate in keeping the beautiful areas we photograph in just as good as we left them. That way when you come back for future anniversaries the landscapes resemble just how they looked when you shared vows years before. The 7 Principles are as follows:
1. PLAN AHEAD & PREPARE
2. TRAVEL & CAMP ON DURABLE SURFACES
3. DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY
4. LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND
5. MINIMIZE CAMPFIRE IMPACTS
6. RESPECT WILDLIFE
7. BE CONSIDERATE OF OTHER VISITORS
For example when taking photos of you two I would never be leading you off trail to stand on a fragile alpine environment or releasing confetti on a summit since we don't want our animal friends to eat them!
• ARE YOU AN ELOPEMENT PLANNER?
I'm not an elopement planner but I can definitely recommend amazing wedding planners who specifically specialize in small intimate weddings to help you with the planning side of things. I'll help couples create a custom timeline based on their wedding day locations, photo list, and best lighting. I also spoil my couples by sending them a 101+ page printed "How To Elope” Guidebook on everything you need to know and so many top tips.
