We do things a little bit differently around here...
You've seen all the fancy, glamorous weddings all over Pinterest and you think to yourself, "these are beautiful, but just not me at all."
You want something that matches your personality, both as a couple and as individuals, not just another cookie-cutter wedding with a $100,000 budget and the same ole' stiff poses.
You want a wedding day that actually focuses on you... ...fueled by quality time and intention, with a backdrop of adventure and pure joy!That's where I come in. We dig deep. We work together to make sure that your marriage and relationship shine through by crafting a fun, soulful experience and documenting the moments as they unfold naturally, without all the stiff, awkward posing. This is real, organic, and truly you!
An adventure elopement isn't posing for photos from sunup to sundown. This is the two of you genuinely doing fun things together, in your natural element. I am the fly on the wall for most of it, preferring a photojournalistic take. A lot less posed and a whole lot more candid. I do give gentle prompts and direction during portraits, to guide you as you interact with each other naturally.
So now... what does an elopement in Texas even look like?Just because you're eloping doesn't mean you don't value getting married, you just want something different. And maybe less people-y? Do you prefer cozy, relaxed evenings over a fire, cold beers, and tacos? Or maybe there's a bucket list item you've both been dying to do, but everyday life and work responsibilities just get in the way. There are all sorts of ways to make your day an experience you will never forget! Do you want to experience a favorite spot nostalgic for the two of you or do want to see somewhere new you've never been together?
