Elopement Packages

 

Your elopement expert + experience creator, designing and capturing your unique wedding.

 

Let's toss the rulebook out the window.

You can have something
DIFFERENT…

You CAN put tradition & expectations aside.

You CAN have a day that doesn’t feel like a big production.

You CAN have a wedding that feels authentic, intimate, and meaningful…

And I can help with that!


What exactly is an elopement?

Eloping doesn’t mean what it used to - the poorly-planned, cheap, quickie way of getting married. Now, it means a wedding *experience* that actually feels like YOU, about celebrating your love story, without all the fluff that the wedding industry, Pinterest, and social pressures place on us.

Traditional weddings tend to be about putting on a big production for a bunch of other people, spending money on things that don’t matter to you, and a hectic and rushed day. That’s why I strongly advocate for elopements! I believe eloping means…

Endless possibilities.
Stress-free & drama-free.
Intimate & meaningful.
Unforgettable experiences.
WHATEVER. YOU. WANT.


Meet Your Photographer & Guide

(aka, your elopement expert)

 

I’ve been helping couples for nearly 10 years and have captured 200+ elopements, weddings, and adventures. I’m passionate about empowering couples to have a wedding day you’re actually stoked about! Something that’s truly you, that feels stress-free, fun and memorable!

Because, I get it…

I photographed big traditional weddings for years before specializing in elopements, so I’ve seen both sides…and so many of my couples were anxious, stressed, and just “wanted to get it over with.” It felt like a *performance* and big production, and all the conversations and decisions were just about feeding everyone, entertaining guests, pleasing people…it was never about THEM.

 

WE CAN DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT…

It doesn’t have to be a pipe dream - I’ll make this happen for you.


 

How do I do that?

I’M MUCH MORE THAN YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER…

*I take the planning off your hands!*

Right away, you’ll get exclusive access to my in-depth Elopement Planning Guide, I’ll plan out all our locations, experiences, activities…I’ll help you through the permit process, where to look for lodging and how to plan your travel, create custom timelines and coordinate logistics for your day, help prepare you (and your loved ones, if anyone’s joining), provide packing lists, and literally anything you need! I truly become your right-hand person through the whole process!

 

 

Let’s make this as fun as planning your *honeymoon*

 

Hear from my couples…

Our elopement was the best day of our lives and Sarah was a huge part in that.
— Jessica D.
Sarah was AMAZING! She deserves more than 5 stars!! She was absolutely perfect for our elopement and genuinely cared about making it the best experience possible...
— Madeline L.
Sarah really made our wedding feel like *our wedding*. If we had gone with any other photographer, it wouldn’t have suited as well as Sarah did.
— Nick B.
If you’re looking for the best, most prepared, super talented elopement photographer you could ever get, Sarah is just that!
— Aley S.
Sarah shot our elopement and we enjoyed every minute of it. She had everything planned out perfectly...We were able to capture our special day while enjoying the experience at the same time.
— Trice W.
Aside from the months of planning, the actual day was nothing short of the most magical and perfect day and a lot of that had to do with Sarah.
— Jessie S.
She was more than a photographer. She was with us at each milestone of planning to celebrate with us and gently guide us in the direction to feel prepared that we were truly doing something that felt like us.
— Kris L.
It is not enough to say that she is a photographer, rather she is an artist. Honing her craft to capture the most precious, intimate, and life changing moments we have ever experienced. The images she captured of our elopement brought me to tears.
— Addy K.

Why would we want a Full-Day Elopement?

  • Plenty of TIME to enjoy your day!

  • Room for relaxation and spontaneity

  • Fun activities you’ll actually enjoy

  • Opportunities for multiple stops

  • Quality time with loved ones (if anyone’s joining)

You decided to scrap the cookie-cutter wedding and do something that really speaks to you and has meaning to you! I believe your love story deserves so much more than a rushed ceremony and a few photos.

We’re talking about making your elopement an EXPERIENCE for you to cherish forever! I am dedicated to telling the FULL story of your day, in all its glory & beauty! I’m there to document how it felt, what you experienced, and do justice to this brave & amazing choice you’ve made!

 

So, what do we actually do ALL DAY?

Picture this…

You wake up on your wedding morning and you’re about to have the best day with your best friend…maybe you’re making pancakes together, sipping on coffee or mimosas, writing your vows in your vow books, listening to your favorite records together…enjoying all those small moments in anticipation for the day ahead.

You change into your wedding attire - and wow, it’s getting *so real* now! You see each other and holy crap it’s really happening, we’re here! Now let’s get ready to go on an adventure…Quick stop at the local brewery?

Now we’re heading to your ceremony location where you two can share personal vows, commit your lives to each other, exchange rings, maybe read letters from loved ones, incorporate some music…and YOU’RE MARRIED!

Pop some champagne…have a picnic, munch on some charcuterie, relax in a hammock, whatever you like! (If any loved ones joined us, we can take some group photos too.) Then we’ll go adventuring!

You chose this beautiful place for a reason, and you should savor the whole experience, maybe include a local activity or take a hike to an epic spot, explore and not feel rushed and savor it all…We can go enjoy an epic sunset (or embrace some moody skies), bask in the newlywed feels, you can do a First Dance if you want…

Then we can slow it down, head back to your Airbnb, freshen up and wind down…get some s’mores going by the fireplace or do some stargazing in the hot tub. We can pick up pizza or tacos, or have a private chef create an epic meal experience, or you might enjoy cooking together, whatever feels like you! A very relaxed, enjoyable, memorable day that really feels ideal to you…

…Now that’s a wedding day!


But we’re awkward in photos…

 

I get it! Honestly - almost ALL my couples have said this! And then they had a blast and *fell in love* with their photos!

You’re NOT awkward at being together, enjoying time with each other, and savoring experiences…

…and that’s what I focus on. Instead of this feeling like an all-day photoshoot, it will feel like we’re just hanging out and soaking in the experience together!

You two interacting with each other, interacting with the landscape, and having the best time ever!

See what my other couples who told me “we’re not good at taking photos” had to say…

 

I typically dread looking at photos, but in the sneak peeks she sent us, EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. is an emotional roller coaster of beauty that she knocked out of the park.
— Addison S.
My husband and I always say we are so awkward doing photos but Sarah made the day so chill and fun! We are so in love with our photos and could not thank Sarah enough for all her help and talent...
— Lauren A.
Her kind, fun, and communicative attitude really made us feel so comfortable with her as she snapped the greatest photos from the best day of our lives.
— Kris S.
She automatically felt like one of our best friends which we greatly appreciated because we were both nervous about getting pictures taken.
— Jessica S.

What other couples have to say…

 
 

★★★★★
“If you are any sort of the adventure seeking, intimacy searching, THE WHOLE VIBE, type of person - then Sarah is for you.”

There is not a shortage of photographers...What there is however, is a shortage of photographers as poised, dedicated, passionate, jubilant, and overwhelmingly amazing as Sarah.

It is not enough to say that she is just a photographer, rather she is an artist. Honing her craft to capture the most precious, intimate, and life changing moments that me or my husband have ever experienced.

The images she captured of our elopement brought me to tears, like I was dropped there in the Californian coastal town all over again: eating taco bell (that's right), and singing along to Hozier, a memory that is now engrained by her work. I typically dread looking at photos, but in the sneak peeks she sent us (that could be a whole album by itself), EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. is an emotional roller coaster of beauty that she knocked out of the park.

All of my gushing aside, if you are wondering "how in the world do we choose, when there are so many people out there"? Let me just ease your anxiety over the decision factor, and ultimately say- go with your gut...and if you are any sort of the adventure seeking, intimacy searching, THE WHOLE VIBE, type of person- then Sarah is for you. This elopement couldn't have been more special, and I honestly wish everyone got to experience this kind of life!

To Sarah, thank you for everything - trust was such a big factor, and I am so glad we trusted you (although we truly never doubted)...you did it all! We will forever be using your artwork to share our love for the rest of our lives!

- Addy & Addison

If I could give a Dundie award for Best Photographer, she would win by a landslide!!!

“Sarah is a phenomenal photographer and all around person!!! From our first initial conversations to the wedding day, Sarah was engaging, kind and supportive. She is very detailed, thorough and organized which we appreciated as wedding planning can sometimes feel overwhelming.

She was always available to answer questions and kept constant communication with us throughout all the stages of planning our wedding. Not only did we get stunning photos from Sarah but she helped us curate the PERFECT day for my wife and I. She helped us research, made sure we had all the necessary documents and even made sure we were well fed and hydrated throughout our day. She is caring and such a joy to work with.

We are so so happy with our choice in photographer and recommend her any chance we get. If you’re looking for a helpful, friendly and professional photographer… look no further.. Sarah is your girl!!! If I could give a Dundie award for Best Photographer, she would win by a landslide!!!”

- Sonia & Chelsea

 

 

★★★★★
“Sarah went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable.”

“Sarah is an incredible photographer! She has an eye for landscape, colors, and capturing moments so beautifully. As an avid hiker and outdoors woman, it's no surprise that the dynamic shots Sarah climbs, ducks, and bends to capture are the most unique and exquisite photos of all time.

Sarah helped take care of our wedding photos from concept to color, but she was more than a photographer. She was with us at each milestone of planning to celebrate with us and gently guide us in the direction to feel prepared that we were truly doing something that felt like us. She had great advice from photographing so many weddings and was able to suggest items to bring amd keepsakes we might enjoy.

Sarah went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. Her kind, fun, and communicative attitude really made us feel so comfortable with her as she snapped the greatest photos from the best day of our lives. We can't thank you enough Sarah!”

- Kris & Chafic

 

 

★★★★★
She had so many great, well thought-out tips throughout the planning to make sure we were prepared for the big day. I had ZERO stress.

“My husband keeps telling me, “Good job finding her.” Referring to Sarah, of course! She is an absolute gem. She had so many great, well thought-out tips throughout the planning to make sure we were prepared for the big day. I had ZERO stress. On our wedding day, she was even better! She had previously given us an itinerary for the day of the wedding and we found it to be so helpful.

It kept us on track while we got ready and had cocktails because the time flew by. Then when we met up with our officiant for the ceremony, we felt like the officiant was in a bit of a rush. Sarah totally had our backs and encouraged us to take our time and not feel like we need to rush through the ceremony. Now, let’s talk about her photography skills… she is worth every penny! I think she even went to the ceremony site the day before to scope out the place and lighting. Small details are important to her and I appreciate that so much! It makes all the difference.

Our photos are stunning! We received so many compliments and were even told they belong in a magazine. So many beautiful shots! I would 100% recommend Sarah and an adventure elopement with her any day. Our wedding day was memorable, fun, and stress-free largely because of her!”
