Your elopement day is about more than just the vows—it’s about creating an experience that’s entirely your own. From the first conversation to the moment you see your photos on your walls, I’m here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring the process feels effortless and exciting.
We’ll kick things off with a conversation about what your dream day looks like—whether it’s an intimate gathering or a grand adventure. No matter if you already have a clear picture in mind or need help figuring it out, I’ll ask questions about your favorite activities, the kind of scenery that resonates with you, and how you want your day to feel. This is all about understanding your love story so we can design a celebration that reflects you.
The location is key to creating an unforgettable elopement, and I’ll help you find the perfect backdrop. From epic mountains to serene beaches, hidden forests, or cozy AirBnBs, we’ll choose a spot that feels like home for your vows. I’ll provide personalized recommendations based on your vision, and if permits are needed, I’ll guide you through that process too.
Now it’s time to design the details! From crafting an itinerary that balances adventure and relaxation to recommending vendors, I’ll be here to support you every step of the way. Whether it’s planning a sunrise hike, a lakeside picnic, or a champagne toast at sunset, we’ll make sure every moment feels intentional and stress-free.
Your once-in-a-lifetime day has arrived, and it’s time to fully immerse yourself in the experience by soaking in every beautiful moment. I’ll be there not only to photograph every heartfelt moment but also to help things run smoothly. From calming any last-minute nerves to fixing a loose button, I’ll ensure you feel supported and at ease.
My goal is to capture your love story authentically—every glance, laugh, and tear—so you can relive it forever.
Within 6-8 weeks, you’ll receive your beautifully edited gallery filled with the moments that made your day unforgettable. I’ll also send some sneak peeks within 72 hours because I know you’ll be eager to see and share your photos right away. Your gallery will be high-resolution, allowing you to download, share, and print your images however you’d like.
Your story deserves to be told beyond the screen. Whether it’s a custom photo album, framed prints, or Polaroid-style keepsakes, let’s preserve your memories in tangible ways. Imagine walking into your home and seeing those moments displayed on your walls—a daily reminder of your incredible day and the love you share.

We are so so happy to have had Rachel as our photographer. The photos turned out AMAZING, and we are so in love with them! Rachel captured the true love of our day and did it so well. We are obsessed with the photos and I need them all in our house right now.

We got our photos back today and I am in love with them! Rachel was very friendly and knew how to get us to laugh, smile, and just enjoy ourselves even though I had never had professional photos taken. She did amazing work and went above and beyond to make our pictures special and a day to remember. Rachel made everything so easy and brought so much knowledge. She understands that each couple is truly unique!
