You want to do so much more than Just Get Married

You want forever to begin with a kick-ass day that revolves solely around you & your favorite person.

Whether you want to travel far or stay close.
Drive to a viewpoint or hike for miles.
Cozy up in an A-frame or camp under the stars.
Invite the crew or leave everyone in the dust!

I’m DOWN. Count on me to make that shit happen.

THINK OF ME AS YOUR FAIRY GODMOTHER in hiking boots

If you've only seen your elopement location in your dreams, describe it to me. I'll be able to find out where it is, how to get us there, and how to photograph it beautifully.

Wherever we end up, I’m prepared for literally ANYTHING. The bride I sewed into her dress and the guests I helped find shelter during a thunderstorm can vouch for me.

All of that is to say, I’m more than equipped to turn all of your “I wish's" into “we-so-freaking-did's."

"It's hard to put into words what Sam was for us. She was our planner, our hype girl, our lighting expert, our director and our photographer. But so much more than that is who she is as a person.

She made us feel comfortable in a way we didn't think we could, she believed in us when we weren't so sure, she was our friend more than just our photographer."

The Planning Process

01.
Location Matchmaking

We’ll dig into climate, landscapes, and activities you enjoy/prefer. Plus, all the possibilities you’ve been dreaming about. I’ll create a custom location guide full of epic ideas and locations using those details. We’ll talk through the pros and cons of spots, or do a few rounds of guides till you find THE place.

02.
Daydreaming Details

This is all about creating a clear vision of your perfect day. We'll look at the locations/ activities you've landed on, discuss how you envision spending your time, and ideas to make your day feel even more you. We’ll tie everything together with a rough timeline!

03.
Vendor Team

Who you have around you on your elopement day matters, which is why I’m going to find the most talented and reputable vendors in the area for you. Florist, hair + makeup, adventure guides, rentals, etc. And after choosing your vendors I’ll loop them in to make sure we’re all on the same page!

04.
Final Timeline

Now that all the details have been hammered out it’s time to write it all down! We’ll make sure the timeline incorporates everything perfectly. I’ll share our finalized timeline with the vendors, triple check all the details, and make sure all of the things you want captured are written down.

WITH THESE PHOTOS, YOU’LL NEVER FORGET THE magnitude of nature & WHAT being in it together MEANT TO YOU

Once your feet hit the ground,
I don't put the camera down

Not in an all day photoshoot kind of way, though. I’ll be there to build up your confidence in front of the camera and offer suggestions if you ever feel lost on what to do! BUT for the most part, I’ll be documenting...

Y’all being you,

smack dab in the middle of nature,

enjoying every bit of the epic adventure we planned.

By thoroughly (and unobtrusively) capturing the day you’ll be able to step right back into it. Every pivotal moment and sweet detail. All the encompassing love, freedom, and joy you felt. And the insane vastness of your surroundings.

Even your friends and family will know what it was like being there with you by looking at the photos.

"Sam was everything we could have hoped to have for our elopement. From our first phone call she made us feel like she truly had our backs. She was so fun to spend the day with and accommodating last minute adjustments all with a smile on her face."

Inquire for pricing

Let's Chat about your elopement

Don't worry...

You don't need to know when or where you want to elope right now.

My booking process accommodates for those initial unknowns. We’ll figure the details out together.

Your brain and email inbox won't have to keep track of all this info.

I’m going to set you up with a portal that’ll make planning a cool-ass elopement organized & straightforward.

It’s a-ok to change your mind along the way, throughout the process and your day.

I’ll help us create something that will be even better than the original plan.

Here Are Some
Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to drop your specific question in my inbox!

No! I totally get that hiking isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. The point of eloping is doing whatever you want! So, if you don’t want to hike I’m not going to suggest any locations that would require it. Nature can be super accessible! Instead I’ll recommend spots we could drive up to or have other modes of transport available (helicopters, boats, etc.).

Heck yeah I do! And – you never pay an extra fee to get me anywhere. It's always included!

Yes! I actually require payment plans for all of my elopement packages. This is because we are actively planning + I’m actively working for you to make this thing perfect! So payments are spread out to cover the planning happening, and make it so there aren’t humongous payments to deal with right before your elopement (stresssssy).

Amazing question! The line between elopement and wedding is blurry, and it is truly up to you what to call your day. To me an elopement is more of a day where we are focused on the couple and a wedding is more of a day where we are focused on guests. If you want to bring guests, bring them! I’m here to support your decisions and make this easier.

I mostly capture elopements and adventure/couple focused small weddings. I typically do not take events over about 40 guests. Feel free to reach out if you want to discuss further!

Rain, snow, sleet, heat, I've done it all. If things are dangerous, we pivot to one of the many back-up plans I've created just in case. But for the most part, I recommend you embrace it! Weather is part of nature and create some bad-ass photos.

Last but not least: how do we book you? (my personal fave)

Scoot on over to my contact page and fill out the inquiry form.
We’ll hop on a call to discuss your elopement ideas, the process, what package would make sense, and knock out any questions!
If we click we’ll nail down a tentative date and I’ll send you a contract + invoice! Then, the fun REALLY begins!

"[Sam] helped me through every process of planning my wedding, and I truly believe if it wasn’t for her the day would not have been as perfect as it was . . . Not only was she our photographer, she grew to be an amazing friend. Hiring her was the best decision I could have made."
