LIVE YOUR ELOPEMENT DAY EXACTLY AS YOU WANT
minnesota & wisconsin elopement packages
Your images will document the emotion, landscape and details
to tell the story of your wildly romantic experience
AN ELOPEMENT THAT BLENDS THE BEST OF NATURE, CELEBRATION & INTIMACY
Sounds like the dream, right?
But I’m here to tell you, it can become reality.
Whether you want to elope just the two of you, include your closest friends and family, or do a little of both — I’ve planned custom elopements across Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Midwest that are focused on connection & intention.
It starts with truly listening to what you’re envisioning and who you want there beside you. That open, heartfelt communication is key to really understanding who you are and how best I can serve you. You two are just plain cool people, and I want you to have an experience that matches!
Here’s how I create elopements that are grounded in nature and focused on the experience—
+ Open, clear communication
+ Custom location scouting based on your vibe
+ Activity recs that’ll create a full-day experience — or even a full weekend!
+ Guidance on lodging, permits, vendors & more
+ Custom planning portal to hold all the details in one place (think packing lists, to-dos, inspo & playlists!)
+ My expertise as a local guide with years of experience across the Midwest
+ Realistic timelines & logistics w/ plenty of back-ups
+ Day-of direction that is all about capturing real moments and emotions, not pushing poses
+ Images that’ll help you relive the feel of the day
+ All my love & support ALWAYS

DAMN STRAIGHT WE ARE!!
“The day of our elopement Sam brought good tunes, water,
snacks, and more to make sure our day was fun and went smoothly!
She somehow managed to be a friend who we were celebrating with
as well as our photographer! Her combination of small directions
paired with allowing us to be ourselves gave us stellar photos
where our personalities showed!”
—ANNA & RICHARD

I’m out here living for
experiences, not things.
And if you’re here, I bet you’re the same.
Maybe that means seeking out a new trail that leads to a hidden waterfall or sitting by the lake with a good book and the waves providing the soundtrack (will I end up napping? Yes, duh).
I crave new experiences and romanticize the shit out of life. And I think that’s what attracts me to working with cool couples like you who are planning something interesting and earthy.
Getting to know couples like you fills my soul right up
And, I mean … look at us out there having a damn good time :)
"Sam captured the exact feel we were hoping for. Not only was she maybe the most positive and upbeat person I have ever met, she was so helpful in planning the details!”

I’m based in Wisconsin/Minnesota (I live right near the border, so both feel like home), but my passport sees a lot of action.
If you’re looking to the horizon to plan your elopement, let’s talk about it! And if your elopement plans overlap with my upcoming travel plans, then I’ll waive my travel fees.

"Everything gets quiet when I look at you." - B.K. Borison
Not if that isn't in your vision! ;) One of the biggest myths of eloping is you have to hike miles and miles - but that's simply not true! You can find lots of beautiful locations to spend your time at that don't include lots hiking.
+ do we have to hike?
+ dO WE HAVE To know OUR LOCATION TO BOOK WITH YOU?
Nope! You don't need to have all the details of your elopement planned out to inquire/book with me!! I actually help 90% of my couples help find a location that speaks to their hearts after they book with me!
+ what is an intentional elopement experience?
It just adds a little extra spice to your magical day ;) But don't worry, I will have back-up plans just in case the weather is bad! If it's not endangering anyone, you can totally just own it and get married in a downpour!
P.S. I'll be in your location the day before and day after in case we have to adjust for bad weather!
+ what happens if there's bad weather?
It's all about incorporating traditions you actually care about (and ditching the ones you don't), incorporating your love languages, doing things that you both love (or trying something new if that speaks to you), and really just being intentional with your wedding day decisions!
I'm a local Minnesota elopement photographer that specializes in non-traditional elopements and intimate weddings! You need someone who's an expert to the area to guide you along in your experience, so you can truly enjoy your elopement. I'm here to make your experience as simple, stress-free, and fun as possible!
+ why hire me as your photographer?!
Yes, I do!! I'll help you with everything from the dreaming and brainstorming, all the way to helping you create a custom packing list and timeline! I even help with permits (if needed), finding you lodging, and all the things! I'm here to take the overwhelm out of the process for you! All you have to do is book your things!
