Everything you’re
wondering about

I design your whole day, book every vendor, pull the permits, handle the marriage license, build the timeline, guide you through it on the day, and photograph and film all of it. One person, from the first message to the final gallery and film. See the full experience.

A photographer arrives and takes pictures. I plan and run the entire day, then photograph and film it myself. There is no handoff between a planner and a shooter, so nothing gets lost and the day actually holds together. This is what the experience and the pricing are built around.

Both, and I do it myself. Every package includes photography and film, except the entry-level Canada Blueprint, which is photography only. You get a cinematic gallery and a short film shot by the same person who planned the day.

The packages are all-inclusive of everything I curate and run on the ground: the full planning, vendor booking, permits, the symbolic ceremony, styling, the activities we design, photography, and film. You approve the plan, and I handle every moving piece. The exact inclusions at each tier are on the pricing page.

No. The package covers everything I curate on the ground, but your airfare and accommodation are not included. You book those yourself, and I am glad to recommend where to stay.

Airfare and accommodation, additional guests beyond the plan, meals outside the planned dining, personal spending, and travel insurance. Everything else about the elopement itself is handled inside the package.

Every elopement is priced transparently and up front, with no hidden add-ons. International elopements come in three tiers, and Canada runs on its own city-elopement model. See the pricing page for starting figures at each tier.

Your date is held with a signed agreement and a retainer, and the balance is split into planned installments leading up to the day. The exact figures come with your custom proposal after we talk, so nothing is a surprise.

Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Iceland, Scotland, Patagonia, Japan, and beyond. Not sure where to begin? Take the Elopement Compass or read the elopement guide.

I work worldwide, and my own travel and time on the ground are built into the destination packages. The only travel you cover is your own flights and accommodation.

That is the whole point. Tell me the feeling you want and I will shape the place, the timing, and the day around the two of you rather than handing you a fixed package. The best place to start is to design your elopement.

Six to twelve months is typical, and sooner for peak seasons or permit-heavy locations. If your date is close, reach out anyway, since I can sometimes make shorter timelines work.

We talk about who you two are and what you want the day to feel like. After that I send a plan with locations, timing, and a custom proposal. From there I start booking and handling everything, and you stay in the loop without touching the logistics.

I plan for it. Every day has a backup location and a flexible timeline, and I watch the forecast closely in the final week so we move with the light instead of fighting it.

I do not sell the day by the hour. I am with you for as long as the experience calls for, from a single sunrise ceremony to a multi-day adventure, so the coverage matches the day we designed rather than a stopwatch.

Typically a small preview within days of the elopement, your full edited gallery within a few weeks, and your film after that. I confirm the exact timeline in your agreement.

You receive the finished, color-graded images and the edited film. I do not hand over unedited raw files, because the editing is a core part of the work you are hiring me for.

Yes. Your elopement is fully legal, and I handle the license requirements and paperwork for wherever you choose to marry, including the timing and residency rules that catch most couples off guard.

Most elopements are just the two of you, or up to around ten people. Intimate gatherings of up to about thirty also work. Beyond that it becomes a small wedding, which is a different kind of day.

Yes. Many couples elope for the day itself and celebrate with family later, on their own terms. I can help you think through how to include the people who matter without turning the day into a production.

Book a free planning consultation and tell me where your mind goes when you imagine the day. No plan required, that is my job. You can also read the elopement guide or see what the experience is like first.
