Exclusive Focus on Destination Elopements

Thank you for considering me for your special day. At this time, I am exclusively offering services for small destination elopements, specializing in intimate and unique wedding experiences. My commitment is to provide you with a personalized and memorable elopement tailored to your vision.



Scope of Services

  • Intimate Celebrations: This service is designed for small, intimate gatherings, ensuring a stress-free and deeply personal experience.
  • Customized Packages: I offer a range of customizable packages to suit your specific needs and preferences, and would be delighted to chat more!


Bride Tip


Let the photographer book their own travel and send receipts for reimbursement—they may have an airline or flight-route preference based on gear. Just make sure to set a budget cap based on average prices before they buy to avoid any issues.

What is Your Destination Elopement Pricing?

Destination Elopement Pricing


When you book a destination elopement with me, you only need to cover my, and my assistant's travel expenses for 2-3 days. This includes two-way airfare.


1. Standard Elopement Package Fee:

  • This fee covers all my professional photography services for your wedding/elopement, including everything outlined in my elopement packages.

2. Travel Expenses:

  • Airfare: I book flights through Delta, flying main cabin. You will be quoted for two tickets (for myself and an assistant or second shooter) just before the contract signing. We arrive the day before your event to accommodate any potential delays and to scout your wedding venue.
  • Baggage Fees: If there are any excess baggage fees, they will be quoted before the contract, though this is generally not required.
  • Hotel Accommodations: Typically covers 2-3 nights, arriving one day before your wedding events to make sure there are no delays or issues.
  • Rental Car: This cost will be quoted based on your wedding itinerary and covers from the day of arrival until the day after your final event. A Rental car may not be needed depending on location.

Why This Approach?

  • By separating travel expenses from the standard package fee, you only pay for the necessary costs to bring me to your location, ensuring that I am fully prepared to capture your special day.
  • Depending on where your elopement is, costs could be very minimal! I am in Upstate New York; travel to any nearby states that require a long car ride or a plane.

Summary:

  • Your Costs: Elopement package fee + travel expenses for 2-3 nights.
  • What You Get: Professional photography services with no hidden fees, just the essential travel costs to bring me to your beautiful destination.


My number 1 priority is to give you the exceptional photography experience that you see throughout my page and hopefully contact me for! These are photographs that will capture a once-in-a-lifetime moment. If I cut corners on what I know you'll need just so I could book you in at the lower price, I would be doing you a disservice.


That said, would you allow me to spoil you with an experience and photographs you'll treasure for the rest of your life?
