Elopements
Your perfect day, exactly as you dreamed it.
No seating charts. No compromises. No spending your wedding day managing everyone else's experience. An elopement is you two, maybe a handful of your very closest people, doing exactly what you want, exactly the way you want it. No compromises.
Elopements aren't a backup plan.
They're not what you do when a "real wedding" falls through. They're a deliberate, intentional choice to make your wedding day entirely about the two of you.
And honestly?
We think that's one of the most romantic things a couple can do.
Eloping may be for you if...
I
You want the day to yourselves.
No performance. No catering to a room full of opinions. Just you two, fully present, in a place that means something to you. Saying what you actually mean to each other.
II
You want to do things your way.
Cliff side at sunrise. National park with your dogs. A bespoke hotel in a city you've always wanted to explore. A boat. Whatever speaks to you, that's where we should be.
III
You're done catering to others expectations.
Your wedding should feel like relief, not pressure. The moment you stop trying to make everyone else happy and start planning for just the two of you, that's when things get really, truly good.
IV
You want your photos to feel Authentically you.
Not staged. Not stiff. Not a highlight reel you have to perform for. You want honest moments, real connection, and images that look the way the day felt. Quiet, wild, emotional, whatever your version of beautiful is.
What does an elopement look like?
An elopement can be a lot of things, and none of them look like what you'd find in a standard wedding brochure.
For us, an elopement is just the two of you or up to 10 of your closest people. Small, intentional, and entirely focused on what matters most.
It might be the two of you and your best friend on a cliffside in Ireland. It might be a quiet morning ceremony in a national park followed by a full day of adventuring. It might be a rooftop in a city you've never been to, or a cabin in the middle of nowhere.
The setting, the structure, the vibe, all of it is yours to define. We're not here to put you in a box. We're here to document whatever that day looks like for you.
And wherever that is, we'll handle the logistics! Permits, planning, location scouting, local recommendations, we've got it. More on that below.
So what's included?
TLDR; When the day comes, your only job is to focus on each other. We'll handle everything else.

Elopement FAQs
Do you travel?
Anywhere and everywhere. We're currently based in Raleigh, NC and heading to the UK in January 2027, so destination elopements are very much in our wheelhouse. Let's talk.
Where do people even elope?
Honestly, wherever speaks to you. National parks, cliff sides, bespoke hotels, mountaintops, a boat on open water. If it suits you, it works. We'll help with location ideas, handle permits where needed, and share local recommendations so you're not navigating it alone.
How does payment work?
50% is due when you sign the contract to lock in your date. The remaining 50% is due one month before the elopement.
How many photos will we receive?
It depends on the day and the length, but as long as you aren't blinking, coughing, or visibly checked out, you're getting every single good one.
How long until we get our photos?
Your full, edited gallery arrives within 90 days of your elopement. We may be working on multiple galleries at once, so we appreciate the patience. It's worth it.
Do you deliver raw files?
We don't. The way we edit is a big part of what makes us us, and honestly, you'd be surprised how raw photos look before editing. It's part of what you're hiring us for.
Can we bring our dog?
We will be upset if you don't.
Can you edit my body in photos?
We love the way each person looks exactly as they are, so we won't be altering body shapes. We're happy to take care of small things like blemishes though. You're going to look amazing, promise.
Ready to take the leap?
We take on a limited number of elopements each year, which means the couples we work with get our full attention and care from start to finish. If this feels right, we'd love to hear from you!
