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, create a mood board, 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?!

Jennifer & Ryan
I guarantee you booking Donna will be the second best decision you make [for] your wedding day (with the first being "I do!").
Emily & Reed
Feeling comfortable to be yourself with others in the room (me!) is key to genuine moments and photos - how I make that happen:
- Fun Questionnaire(that doubles as a date night for you + gets me the inside scoop).
- Planning calls + chit chat throughout the process (and/or interact on socials).
- Show up a little early day-of to meet in person - I bring a calm/fun energy to get you relaxed and unwind and fully enjoy the day!
A Tailored To You Elopement Experience
We'll dream up a day that’s epic, meaningful and perfectly you. Which will in turn lead to the best photos!
- Questionnaire insights = custom prompts, poses, and activity, and location ideas.
- Access to my creative brain for inspirations, bucket list spots, and out-of-the-box ideas.
- We’ll collaborate and bounce ideas and settle on whatever calls to you and go from there!
My 10 Years of Elopement Expertise is all yours!
I’m your elopement sidekick from start to finish.
- Elopement guide, vendor recs + travel tips and more sent your way after booking.
- Location scouting + permit deets, weather info, photo timeline, and backup plans.
- I'm always just a email, call or text away.
Photos That Aren't Boring
No stiff prom poses… Unless it’s ironic.
- A mix of classic, personalized photos, creative moments + more! Also, bloopers are always included haha.
- Your relationship has range and depth, your elopement 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 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.
Behind the scenes of the (elevated) Date elopement experience
Let's make it a date
I wear my heart on my camera
When you book your elopement through me, you not only get a fun photography experience and beautiful photos, you also get a personalized elopement sidekick and assistant. You're not getting 'just a photographer' who only shows up and takes photos but leaves you hanging before and after. You're getting a whole experience that will leave you feeling super taken care of and stress-free.
Having a photographer that cares about your day and your experience just as much as you do is a game changer. We'll craft a day you're excited about so that in addition to a gallery full of special photos of your day, you'll also have a whole bunch of memories to go right alongside them.

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!

I spend time carefully choosing and editing each of your photos and not just rushing through the edits.
