Eloping isn’t just about skipping tradition, it’s about writing your own adventure. 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. This is a day that feels like your greatest adventure yet: effortless, intimate, and unapologetically you.

An elopement isn’t about less, it’s about more. More meaning. More connection. More adventure! Your love was never meant to stay still. It’s made for moments that take your breath away.

But let’s be honest… planning an elopement can feel overwhelming. Like where do you even start? How do you choose a that dream location? Will you need permits, but wait… where the heck do you even get that permit in the first place?!

Planning your elopement does not have to be hard…

That’s where I come in!

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. Think of me as both your photographer and your guide.

As someone who has eloped themselves, I KNOW the feeling and I have been in your boots. 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.

“From the start Sarayphia was so professional and so easy, comfortable, and amazing to work with! Truly couldn’t have had a better experience! 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! 🖤”
