Eloping is a great way
to reduce the stress
involved in planning a wedding
Let me simplify the process for you
You can choose from a variety of elopement packages. I created them because there is no universal elopement script, and my goal is to make sure you have an incredible, unique elopement.
Whether you want to exchange vows against the breathtaking skyline of Glacier National Park, the fantastic mountain scenery of Yosemite, or somewhere in the Nevada Desert, I can make it happen. I’ll help you choose the perfect spot.
There are many options, such as an all-day hike to Mt. Rainier, a ceremony with the sun setting behind a mountain, or a steampunk elopement. In five or fifteen years, when you open your first family album, you’ll remember every detail of what you did on your family's birthday, and you’ll relive it over and over again.
Let your hair down
and come as you are!
All I’ll ever need of you is to be who you’re. I won’t make you pretend to be someone else. Staged photos are boring and don't help you cherish the moments. So let's make your elopement photography candid. Don’t worry if you need old-fashioned staged photos for your family. We'll take a few sunrise/sunset portraits for postcards you can send to your grandma.
Would you prefer ripped jeans and a leather jacket over a wedding attire? Do you want to dress up as a Steampunk Queen or an Eastern Princess? It's up to you.
Just be yourself. Do what you usually do. Wear comfy clothes. How delightful it will be to photograph you if your romance is full of antics and banter!
Break stereotypes and be yourself, and I'll document it all for you. When you open your wedding album, the memories of that day will flood back to you, and you'll see the real people you were.
Meet your photographer
I’m Valerie, your elopement photographer.A few years ago, I quit my office job to travel the world. My life has since been like a beautiful story in which I fall asleep to the sound of the ocean waves and wake up to go to the mountains or an ancient city the next day. When my backpacking trip turned into a job, I decided to leave this path and turned to photography. Taking photographs in exotic locations around the world helped me make my Instagram blog popular. Nowadays, I enjoy photographing elopements and creating intimate and memorable weddings.
Why you should plan a whole day elopement
There are many reasons to elope for the whole day instead of just a few hours. For starters, you'll have a lot more time. This gives you the freedom to spend your day how you like and to make it memorable. You’ll be able to enjoy each other's company without feeling rushed.
An elopement lasting a whole day is not a 12-hour photoshoot. It's a day filled with emotions, laughter, tears, and love. It’s a wedding, your wedding. It's a day you'll remember forever, so every second counts.
A whole-day elopement also gives you the opportunity to make a day of it and really enjoy the experience. Get ready and enjoy a leisurely breakfast together before heading out to your chosen location. Take your time exploring, taking photos, and just enjoying each other's company. It's also worth considering whether you want to include any other activities in your day. A whole-day elopement will give you enough time to do this, but a shorter one might not.
We'll take your getting ready and first look photos with plenty of time to spare. The day can start with an indulgent breakfast, a stroll, or a soak in the jacuzzi. An intimate ceremony with an exchange of vows will follow. Next, let’s go on an adventure!
Whether you prefer hiking or kayaking, or flying by helicopter, water plane, or hot air balloon, or riding horses or ice skating, the possibilities are endless. This will be one of the most memorable parts of your elopement, and I want it to be as incredible as you want it to be.
As we know, rest is a change of activity. So, we can plan a picnic or take you to the hot tub for a relaxing break. Sunset photos are much more enjoyable when you're relaxing in front of the fireplace or watching the stars.
If you want to celebrate this day with your loved ones (up to 25 people including you two), you may want to throw a party. So, I’ll be there to document it too.
Lastly, you can kill two birds with one stone. A two-day elopement is a great option if you want to have an intimate elopement but also share all the emotions with your family and friends. You can have an intimate gathering or private party with your family and close friends on the first day. The second day will be reserved for an out-of-sight ceremony, just for the two of you.
