alaska elopement, intimate wedding
and couples sessions packages for the playful and in love
No two elopements are ever the same. Sometimes comparing one elopement to another is like comparing cake to chocolate chip cookies, both are desserts and incredibly awesome, but both have different ingredients, prep and cook time... Shoot, now I want cookies... ANYWHO! With that being said, your elopement is unique to you. I want to make sure that you have the coverage and add-ons that you want to create something that suits your style.
Below are three packages that you can compare with their starting pricing. You aren't confined to these three packages though, you can do any amount of coverage between 6 hours to full day. Want to add a boudoir, engagement, or anniversary session? Albums? We can 100% customize them to suit your exact needs!
All packages are subject to change and are meant for elopements and intimate weddings with small guest counts.
you're one step closer to the best day ever

Katie & Cody
"She made us feel at ease, and from our first day reaching out to her, I felt like we were long lost friends."
Makayla & Mike
"She is absolutely amazing to work with as well—instead of feeling awkward and very posed during photos we were laughing and having a great time. There was no pressure or urgency."
Jennifer & Ryan
"Her communication is very prompt and detailed. You can tell she loves what she does, and she is passionate about photographing love."
Lindsay & Isaac
"Donna is super responsive and friendly, it felt like we were with someone we'd known for years. "

- A big part of making beautiful photos is trusting the process and being yourselves. So, I want to make sure we get to know each other and get comfortable whether that's meeting up in person or hopping on a few calls!

"WHAT IS IT LIKE WORKING WITH YOU?"
I'm so ready, let's chat!
From the moment you book until the big day, I’m right there by your side. Consider me your elopement secret weapon! You’ll get all my Guides, Resources, and Tips throughout our time working together. I'll also send you a few questionnaires to get more intel from you and your honey!
4. THE PARTY STARTS
Booking is a breeze, easily done online through my client software. You'll both sign on the dotted line, pay your booking retainer.
For elopements that's a $1000 retainer(not the total) and for adventure sessions it's 50% of the package.
Once that's set, I'm all yours!! (kudos if you get the references in this one haha!)
3. SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED
From there we'll schedule a consultation to meet and go over what your priorities are, your vision, what kind of activities you'd like to incorporate, and the coverage you'll need. We can hop on a phone call, FaceTime, or meet up in person if you're local!
2. CHAT AND CONNECT
EEEP! You're loving what you're reading and want to explore the possibility of working together?! I'm STOKED!
Contact me through my contact form, and you'll hear from me in 6 business days(M-F 9-3).
I'll let you know if I'm available, answer your questions, and send galleries and other deets!
p.s. This is my happy dance when I get your email!!

How does this all work?
How soon do we get the photos?
Are you willing to travel with us to a destination?
How many hours should we plan for our elopement?
How many images are included in the packages?
You get all the best photos in an online gallery!
I deliver between 50-70 photos per hour, sometimes more depending on the day and how much time is spent shooting.
Photos that don't make the cut, i.e. blinking, unflattering pose or angle, bad lighting, etc. are deleted so you only get the best of the best (and bloopers if that's something you dig ;)).
How soon do we get the photos?
Are you willing to travel with us to a destination?
How many hours do we need for our elopement?
How many images are included in the packages?
Most of my couples end up having 8 hour+ elopement days to ensure they have plenty of time for all of their activities without feeling rushed around from event to event.
What's cool about my approach to elopements is that when you book me you have me for the day and we'll figure out a timeline in advance that you can plan on, and if anything goes off schedule you don't have to worry about it one bit because I can be there the whole day!
How soon do we get the photos?
Are you willing to travel with us to a destination?
Do you offer prints and albums?
How many images are included in the packages?
100% yes! If you're taking your celebration out of state or out of country, I'm in! My passport is updated and I'm travel savvy. Plus if you're getting married in a Spanish speaking country, I'm fluent in Spanish (half-Colombian here!) so that's a perk!
How soon do we get the photos?
Are you willing to travel with us to a destination?
Do you offer prints and albums?
How many images are included in the packages?
Elopement galleries are delivered between 1-3 months depending on the time of year and stage of wedding season we are in. I'll give you a real-time update on gallery delivery based on your day!
For portrait sessions, images are delivered within 3-4 weeks during peak season or as fast as a week during slower months.
My goal is to spend time carefully choosing and editing each of your photos and not just rushing through the edits.
