- Allison & Eric
The photos she took of our elopement were absolutely incredible. She captured the exact feel we were hoping for. Plus, not only was she maybe the most positive and upbeat person I have ever met (and prepared when weather threatens to be uncooperative!), she was so helpful in planning the details of our elopement from 500 miles away!"

"AMAZING!!!!! Sam did such an incredible job at capturing such an important moment in my life. From the zoom calls to in person, she made you feel like she was with you every step of the way. On our wedding day, she took the time to ask us if we were ready to move to the next location or take a couple more photos. She truly cares and understands how important this experience is. If you are looking for a photographer, she’s the one!"
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?
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!
Do we have to know our location to book with you?
I'm an 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!
Do you help us plan our elopement?
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!
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!
