ALASKA ELOPEMENT PACKAGES
let's plan your elopement day like we're planning the best date ever
You're straying from tradition, choosing your own path and embracing a day that is uniquely yours. This opens up so many doors and room for activities.
This is where your story and the nuances of your relationship come to play!
From the little inside jokes, snacks and drinks you love, your favorite go-to experiences and shared memories, every little piece can be used to tailor a day that feels aligned to you and your relationship. Basically I want you to feel like you're planning the best date ever!
We'll brainstorm & romanticize the heck out of it and game plan the date of your dreams.
Having an elopement experience that you love with a photographer you connect and feel comfortable with is a huge part of creating meaningful memories and photographs that feel like you.
How's this all sounding? Did we just become best friends?!

Emily & Reed
Feeling comfortable being yourself with others in the room (me!) is key to genuine moments and photos - how I make that happen:
- Sending a fun questionnaire (doubles as a date night for you + gets me the inside scoop).
- Scheduling planning calls + chit chat throughout the process (and interacting on socials).
- Showing up a little early day-of to meet in person - I bring a calm/fun energy to help you fully relax and enjoy your day!

Photos That Aren't Boring
No stiff prom poses… Unless it’s ironic.

- Your relationship has range and depth, your elopement photos should too! No experience is too adventurous or too cozy. If it's part of your vision, it's part of your album!
- Real-time prompts/poses based on your unique & natural chemistry, lighting, scenery, and happenings.
Weather Back Ups Always
As a lifelong Alaskan, I know the weather can change on a dime. I am always thankful for a sunny day, but am a pro at embracing the moody beauty. I want to make sure your day can happen rain or shine, and if needed, we always have a backup day if there are weather-dependent activities!
If you're looking for a photographer + planner who will go above and beyond to make your day truly yours, you're in the right place.

LET'S DO THIS
You decided to elope in Alaska because you don't want a 100 person wedding in a stuffy venue, you don't want to spend your first day married putting on a show for others and you certainly don't want to only spend a handful of minutes together amidst it all.
Alaska calls to you because you're dreaming of reading your vows in vast landscapes and experiencing something totally unforgettable. You want a day that includes meaningful experiences with no expectations and no stress. Most importantly you want to actually spend quality time together and have a day that just feels like a really exciting date with your person.
If you don't want to be the center of anyone's attention but each others (and of course me because I gotta photograph those sweet moments!) then by golly you are in the RIGHT PLACE!
for the couples who would rather have glaciers, rivers, mountains, seas, and forests as their witnesses
