elopement packages
I'll tell you more on our call
And that's exactly what I will create for you! I tailor every elopement package to the couple I’m photographing. That means I’ll include anything you've ever dreamed of (and things you've never let yourself dream). The sky is the limit (not literally though...helicopter elopement anyone?!)
which is why You deserve a different type of elopement package.
You've always done thiNgs a little different
When you say your wedding was the best day of your life - you want to mean it. So let's throw out what you wedding 'should' look like, and focus on what you WANT it it look like. Let's create a day that's all about celebrating your relationship.
"thEy" say this should be The best day Of your life
But "they" also tell you to get married like everyone else
Even if you don’t know what that vision is yet, that’s exactly what I’m here for. I’ll ask you questions to get your wheels turning, to start dreaming big, and to help you visualize exactly what you want. Then I’ll tap into my years of travel expertise to pick a location and plan every detail to get you married there.
I feel like I just caught somethiNg...

THE WILD AISLE EXPERIENCE
HELL YA, i'm in
I send over a location questionnaire for you and your partner to tell me your vision for your day. Then, I use my wealth of travel experience + Google maps expertise to scour the earth for a location that checks all your boxes
Hey, that's me! I'm all those things! I'm ordained and I LOVE marrying couples. It's also a great way to keep the day super small and intimate. I also I play a lot of other roles during your elopement - I'm always there to cheer you on, fix your fly-away hairs, and help you make decisions that feel right for you.
I value relationships with all my couples. I'm not there to just take some pretty pictures (which I do!) and leave. Since we're going to be spending a lot of time together, I want to get to know you both before your big day. Right after you book, I'll send over a "get to know you" questionnaire where you can tell me what you guys do for fun, your favorite foods, and of course the names of your pets.
Unlike big weddings, elopements aren't usually on a tight schedule. As long as we're where we need to be for sunrise/sunset, all is well. But it can still be nice to plan what time to leave your Airbnb, when the ceremony is, etc. Leave all that planning to me! I can also share the timeline with your vendors (chef, florist, etc.) so we're all on the same page.
I get it. You've probably never planned an adventure elopement before, so how do you make sure you have all your bases covered? That's what I'm here for! I'm always just a quick call or email away for any and all your questions - whether it's help deciding what shoes to wear, or how the heck you're supposed to get your dress on a plane, I'm here to help!

ALL ELOPEMENT PACKAGES INCLUDE:
You'll get access to all the edited photos from your day. It's super easy to download, share + print the photos directly from your online gallery. You also get a slideshow with the highlights from the day - a great, simple way for friends + fam to get to experience your day, even if they weren't there in person!
but wait, thEre's more...
I have a network of wedding vendors from all over the country (+world). Need a hair stylist in Italy? Or a florist in Moab? Let me help with that.
Wedding + photo permits are pretty common, especially in the US. I'll figure out if permits are required, and help with the application process.

I know what you're thinking: "I'm not Beyonce, I can't pay to fly someone across the country to photograph me." But you can! And you should. There is one day in your life where you should be treated exactly like Beyonce. And that’s your wedding day. I promise to do that for you. Whether that’s renting a houseboat, taking a helicopter ride, or dining at a Michelin Star restaurant, let’s Beyonce the hell out of this day.
DARE TO Dream bigger.
If you want to take your elopement to the next level (literally), you can't go wrong with a helicopter tour! See sights you could never imagine - whether that's the cliffs of Kauai, glaciers in Alaska, canyons in Arizona, waterfalls of Iceland, or volcanoes in Italy.
From Hawaii to Alaska, a helicopter tour is the way to see epic landscapes
Sure the amenities may be limited, but that’s made up for a thousand times over when you find the perfect overlook to exchange your vows without another soul in sight (other than your photographer 😉)
If you're looking to get off the beaten path - the backcountry is the place to be
Houseboating is the perfect combination of relaxation and adventure. You get to be away from crowds, but still have the luxury of a floating home.
wake up, coffee, swim, eat, seadoo, hike, sleep, repeat.
I don't think this one needs much explanation, other than to say that star photos are epic + you should build time into your day for them. Pluuus they're super romantic - it's a win win.
Could there *BE* anything more romantic than photos under the stars?!
Seriously - just imagine ending your day gazing at the stars while chillin' in a natural hot spring. Break out the midnight snacks + your beverage of choice and relive your favorite parts of the day.
There's nothing like a soak in a wild hot spring to end an elopement
I use my experience + expertise from traveling all over the world to make sure all the bases are covered for your day
I'm ordained, so I can marry you + your partner in most states and even some other countries!
My travels = your gain
I can marry you!
I'm a certified Leave No Trace Aware photographer - that means I make sure your day has minimal impact on public lands. Responsible recreation FTW!
I donate a percentage of all packages to initiatives that promote intersectional climate justice

I LOVE helping couples create the elopement of their dreams. When you hire me, you can trust that I put my heart and soul into creating a special experience for you.

But if you're looking for someone who encourages you to dream big, who helps make that dream come true, and who cheers you on every stop of the way - you've come to the right place.

She had so much enthusiasm for our day, ideas to improve our elopement experience and guidance on our many questions. Not only did Erin take some spectacular photos, she actually performed our wedding, too! We were so excited to have the intimate, adventure experience we hoped for. After the ceremony, my husband even said to me, "that was perfect. That's how all weddings should be." She acted as photographer, officiant, ring bearer, wedding sherpa, gear carrier, wildlife scout and so much more.

five star reviews
Erin is just the best. She went above and beyond to create a meaningful, highly personalized elopement experience for my now-husband and I. Erin has an intuitive way of bringing the best out of couples, and she created a fun-filled day and captured it beautifully on camera. She has a knack for being attentive but also "invisible," making you feel cared for but also free to focus on your partner.
"She went above and beyond to create a meaningful, highly personalized elopement experience"
She continued to keep us excited, wishing the day came sooner! She checked in multiple times to ensure she could do everything in her power to make sure the ceremony went perfect and was customized to our liking. Even on the day, we wound up with crazy high winds and sleet but she was all in for weathering the storm with us and had a great attitude and excitement that was unreal! I would have Erin marry us over and over again! IF YOU'RE QUESTIONING HIRING ERIN OR NOT, HIRE HER! DO IT!
"she was all in for weathering the storm with us and had a great attitude and excitement that was unreal!"
One thing we have found difficult is finding photographers that are willing to spend adventures with us and capture us in our natural element rather than styling shoots and posing us.
Erin encouraged us to just walk the beach and be ourselves. It made it fun and lighthearted, and I think it truly made all the difference in the pictures!!
"Erin was a superstar at making sure what she was capturing was true to us."

I’ll give you my personal 21st century definition of elope, because the dictionary definition is stuck in the 1800s.
Eloping is when you decide to prioritize what you & your partner want over what others expect.
What does eloping even mean?
Heck ya! The point of eloping is to do what you want. If you want to invite a few friends and fam, do it! If you'd prefer it to be just the two of you, I can help you come up with ways to include your loved ones from afar
Can we include friends and family in our elopement?
You've come to the right place - that's what I'm here for! I'll send you a location questionnaire, then I scour the Earth and my memories from past travels to come up with some ideas that fit what you're looking for. You do the dreaming, I do the heavy-lifting.
what if we're not exactly sure where we want to elope?
I hate to say it, but...it depends! It's all based on what activities are included in the day (hiking, jeeping, etc), if you want time to stargaze, etc. I typically recommend about 8 hours - believe me, the time flies!
how many hours should we book you for our elopement?
The show must go on! Ever heard the phrase, "there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad preparation"? We'll be prepared for just about anything, so no worries! The best pictures come from the cloudy, misty days - I swear.
What do we do if the weather is bad?
Yes! I'm here to help throughout your entire elopement journey. After your date is reserved, I'll even send you an elopement guide with 90+ pages of helpful information to get you started! But I'm your right hand gal for the whole process, no worries.
