why work with me?
When hiring an elopement photographer, it’s so important to not only love their work, but also that you get along with them as a person.
Are you trying to figure out if we’re a good fit?
Here are some things that might help:
Couples I work with use the following words to describe working with me, ‘cool, calm, reliable, fun, high attention to detail, reliable, flexible, and relaxed’ You can find these words throughout my reviews here.
I genuinely care about my couples. You are not just another 'client’ to me. I only take a certain amount of elopements every year so I can put equal energy and focus into all of them. I’m known for being super responsive to emails and having a thorough & organized planning process to help you create your dream elopement.
I deeply understand the importance of this day to you. I do not take the responsibility of capturing your wedding lightly. Before every elopement, I re-read your questionnaires to be prepared, check my gear to make sure everything is working, bring an emergency kit that covers any little mishap that could happen, have extra snacks, set five alarms, pack extra camera equipment in case anything fails, and have a multi-step backup system to ensure your photos are safe from the moment I start capturing your day until the final gallery is delivered to you.
I love having fun with people. I am always looking to make my couples laugh and enjoy our time together. Even though we will most likely have met for the first time on your wedding day, it will feel like we are old friends. (I didn’t even know I was capable of doing that until I got multiple reviews from previous clients saying they felt that way after an elopement, so take their word for it)
I’m VERY flexible & laid back, one of my main goals is to not stress on your wedding day and help keep you from being stressed! I can pivot if things don’t go according to plan, and know how to keep things on time OR calmly move things along if we’re running late. If plans end up changing, I’m good to roll with it and help adjust the plan.
Decided halfway through planning that you want to bring along your closest family along?
That’s great! I’ll help adjust the timeline.
Mother Nature decide to be temperamental the day of your elopement?
Don’t worry, I’m here to discuss options- there’s a bunch of ways to pivot to ensure you still have an amazing day and epic views.Wedding days never go according to plan, so make sure you hire someone who is equipped to handle these changes and respond in a way that fits you!
Experience vs. photos
While it’s extremely important to capture epic photographs on your elopement day, one thing I also prioritize highly is you two having an amazing experience. I don’t want your elopement to feel like an ‘all day’ photoshoot. The reason I have such a thorough planning process is to set you up to have a fun elopement with real moments. If you two are having fun and creating memories, the photos will come super easily. Having a fun and real experience will give you photos to look back on that you can feel. I want my couples to be present in the moment and enjoy their time with each other.
