You’re my people if you:
Take the stress out of your wedding plans.
Getting married is the first page of your next chapter - imagine if you got to tell your story your way, without pressure for perfection, never-ending decisions, inviting people you've never met before, and having a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
I know, it sounds kinda crazy to consider partial or full day photography coverage for your elopement. But, your ceremony isn't the only important part of the day the two of you exchange vows. The nervous excitement when you're getting dressed, time exploring somewhere incredible with your best friend, the opportunity to exchange purposeful vows without feeling like all eyes are on you, the beautiful moments after you say "I do" without any rushed timeline to hurry up and get to reception, and actually enjoying your first sunset together.
Doesn't sound so crazy now, does it?
✦ Eloping in arizona isn't just an hour out of your day - imagine if you could have the full wedding day experience without the full day pressure.
Your entire day should really be about the two of you.
My Process as Your Arizona Elopement Photographer
In the pre-wedding prep, I will:
- Help guide you through the craziness of planning your intimate wedding
- Help you create a customized wedding timeline based on your wants and needs
- Offer recommendations on trusted local vendors
- Guide you with the permit process if you need one
- Assist you with outfit selection(s) and location(s) for your engagement photos and/or wedding day
And then, on your wedding day?
- Be your wedding day BFF
- Keep the day as stress-free as humanly possible
- Create timeless moments for candid photos
- Document your day so you can relive it for years to come
Finally, after the wedding?
- You'll receive your full gallery within 8 weeks, with a little celebration for the 3 of us together
- I'll create your custom designed heirloom wedding album
- You'll get some incredible wall art for your home
- Share your images with your vendors so they won't pester you for them (with permission, of course!)
- And of course: be your friend for life
When you're hiring me, you're not just getting someone who takes great photos, but you're getting someone who will walk with you through the entire wedding process from start to finish. I am not a "show up and ask who the couple is" kind of photographer; I am the "get-out-of-your-makeup-chair to hug me when I get there" kind of friend, who happens to also take incredible photos.
And trust me, there's a huge difference between the two!

First thing you'll need to do is find out if I'm available for your date. I only book two weddings per month max, and only one per weekend.
01. Find out if I'm available
After we connect to make sure I'm available, we'll decide if we're a good fit. Since I only take on a few weddings a year, let's make sure I'm exactly the photographer you need.
02. We'll figure things out
Once you decide I'm the Arizona elopement photographer you want, you'll sign your contract and submit a $1000 booking retainer and the date is yours! Then the real fun begins!
03. We Make it Official
