Close your eyes and imagine your wedding day.
Do you picture your wedding day spent shuffling from one event to the next — a packed timeline, spending your only downtime to capture stiff poses, and catering to a room full of guests you barely get to talk to?
Or do you imagine something different?
A day where you wake up slowly in a cozy mountain cabin… hike to a Blue Ridge overlook for sunrise vows… wander through a mossy forest… splash around a waterfall… share a bottle of champagne in your hot tub under the stars… and actually get to breathe in every moment together.
If the second option makes your heart beat a little faster — you’re in the right place.
I help couples ditch the pressure-filled wedding rulebook and craft an intentional, adventurous elopement day in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Eastern TN, Western NC, and Northern GA & SC. Your elopement isn’t just a quick ceremony — it’s an experience, a memory, and a story you’ll relive for a lifetime.
Welcome, wild hearts.
You’re not here for the big ballroom or the cookie-cutter ceremony—and neither am I.
This elopement experience expands way beyond photography. You can expect extensive planning guidance, vendor recommendations and officiating. Celebratory local snacks and elaborate florals effortlessly elevate your day. These packages are created with intention to minimize the headache of wedding planning, without sacrificing a personalized experience.
Lets chat to see how we can create something magical together.
We will get along great if...
- You are an advocate for adventure. For me, adventure is anything that deviates from the norm, gets you excited, and creates room for the unknown. Lets deviate from the traditional wedding timeline and have some fun!
- You value an inclusive environment. Queer, diverse, neurodivergent, and alternative couples can feel comfortable knowing that I go above and beyond to create a safe space for you.
- You have a soft heart for small businesses, and a high bar for quality. You can trust you are in good hands with me, and anyone I refer to you.
- You don't want to deal with multiple vendors. You are in luck. I am a one-woman wonder - Photographer? You bet. Officiant? Always yes. Planner? Of course. Florist? Absolutely. New best friend? I can't wait.
