Your love story deserves an experience as unique as the two of you.

That’s where I come in!

Eloping isn’t about skipping tradition—it’s about writing your own story. It’s the freedom to celebrate your love in a way that feels true to you, whether that means hiking to a hidden overlook at sunrise, sharing vows by a quiet alpine lake, or wandering hand-in-hand through cobblestone streets in a historic city.

Think of me as both your photographer and your guide. I help you dream up the kind of day that feels just right for the two of you, then bring it to life. From scouting the perfect spot to say your vows, to building a timeline that leaves space for spontaneous adventure, I make sure your elopement feels intentional, relaxed, and completely yours.

My role isn’t just to take photos—it’s to help you curate an experience that reflects who you are, while making sure every moment is beautifully preserved.

For the souls who believe love is the greatest adventure—together we’ll craft a day as bold, beautiful, and unforgettable as the journey you’ve already begun.

Planning your elopement with ease + going with the breeze!

She knew we were shooting for dramatic and we got exactly that! Sarayphia definitely went above and beyond for us from helping make my bouquet to adding the necklace around it! She is one of the sweetest people we will ever know! Her presence was so positive and definitely would recommend you to anyone!

Thank you again for everything and helping make our day so special! 🖤
