Elopement Experiences Offered

A Seamless 3-in-1 Elopement Experience

We offer a thoughtfully curated 3-in-1 elopement experience — a true one-stop approach designed to make your day feel effortless and intentional. Our team brings together a professional hair and makeup artist, an experienced officiant, and editorial elopement photography, all working seamlessly to support your vision.

Each elopement experience is custom-crafted and may include: - Professional elopement photography - Hair and makeup by a professional artist and stylist - Officiant services for your ceremony - Timeline guidance and location planning support - Vendor recommendations for florals, styling, and meaningful details - Editorial-style portraits blended with natural, candid storytelling

Some couples choose a simple, intimate ceremony; others build a more immersive experience around their vows. Either way, your elopement is never rushed or templated — your story always leads the way.

What It's Like Working Together

Eloping can feel both exciting and overwhelming — my role is to make it effortless.

I help couples:

- Feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera - Slow down and be fully present in the moment - Experience their day without pressure or performance

Your elopement isn’t rushed or staged. It’s thoughtfully paced, emotionally grounded, and tailored to you — ensuring you feel confident, connected, and beautifully seen, and walk away with images that feel as authentic and meaningful as your love.

Booking Style and Availability

I book intentionally and selectively each year to ensure every couple receives full creative focus and care.

My elopement calendar typically opens for:

- May–August elopements - Limited availability each season

This approach is ideal for couples who value flexibility, presence, and a personalized experience over rigid timelines.

Investment

Elopement experiences begin at $5,500 CAD

Custom collections are available based on coverage, location, and inclusions.

Why Couples Choose Me

Couples often tell me they chose my work because it feels:

- Emotional without being forced - Elegant without being stiff - Honest, artistic, and deeply human

If you’re dreaming of an elopement that feels intentional, beautifully untraditional, and true to who you are — you’re in the right place.

Next Steps

If this resonates with you, I’d love to hear your story.

Share your vision, your location ideas, and what matters most to you — we’ll create an elopement experience that feels as meaningful as the commitment you’re making.

Travel Policy

Clients are responsible for their own travel, accommodations, meals, and related expenses.

Hair and makeup services will take place at a pre-arranged location confirmed prior to the elopement date. Following hair and makeup, clients are responsible for arranging their own transportation to the ceremony and photography location(s). All ceremony and portrait locations will be pre-planned and confirmed in advance.

The photography and officiant team will arrive separately at the agreed-upon ceremony location(s) at the scheduled time. Clients must arrive on time to ensure the elopement timeline runs smoothly and photography coverage is not impacted.

Any additional travel, location changes, or delays beyond the agreed itinerary may result in additional fees.

Booking Terms

Our elopement calendar opens each January, with a limited number of bookings available from May through August. By intentionally booking within the same calendar year, we’re able to give each couple our full presence, creative focus, and thoughtful care. This approach is ideal for couples who are ready when the moment feels right — whether their elopement is carefully planned or beautifully spontaneous.

A 50% non-refundable retainer secures your elopement date, with the remaining balance due one day prior to your elopement. Should plans change, cancellations require 30 days’ notice and include one opportunity to reschedule within the same calendar year, subject to availability. If a new date is not secured within that year, the retainer is forfeited.

Availability is limited, and once seasonal dates are filled, bookings close for the year.
