Whether you're in search of escaping traditional wedding stress and pressures from others, to maybe just craving a rugged, intimate two person elopement experience or even a luxurious, outdoor micro-wedding, you are prioritizing you and your partner's relationship above all else, and you've come to the right place.
Let eloping be the opportunity for you to create a day that you'll want to relive again and again, and to create an unforgettable experience to allow time for the things you truly love. No matter what your idea of an adventure is, I'll be there to help you plan your dream day every step of the way!
The Elopement Experience with Karlie Larson Photography - What's Included in Every Package
CUSTOMIZED LOCATION SUGGESTIONS I'll suggest locations and hikes that are in your comfort zone. If you only want to hike 2 miles total or if you don't want to hike at all, I'll research and find all the best places that will accommodate your needs and wants.
ACTIVITY IDEAS FOR A "UNIQUE TO YOU" DAY Since most of my couples travel from out of state, I'll find all of the available activities in the area that you can choose from to make your day an adventurous, memorable and meaningful experience that you will never forget.
CURATED TIMELINE CREATION + LOGISTICS MADE EASY Your whole day crafted around the experiences that matter the most to you, whether that be waking up at sunrise for a first look and private vows together without crowds, planning around a 3 mile hike to an alpine lake, or the golden hour photos of your dreams. Your timeline will include buffer time so you can truly savor every moment without rushing.
FULL LIST OF VENDOR RECOMMENDATIONS Whether you're in need of a hairstylist to do an updo that will stay in place all day while you hike, or makeup that will hold up for your adventure, or whimsical florals to complement your elopement vision, I'll help you find your dream team of vendors to make your vision come to life.
UPDATED + RELEVANT PERMIT INFORMATION Permits make your marriage legal at the specific location of your ceremony and they allow us to take stunning photos at breathtaking places. I'll help you navigate the process of acquiring the correct permits for the location of your elopement.
LOCAL LODGING RECOMMENDATIONS If you need help finding a place to stay relative to your elopement location, I can help you find the perfect place, anything from a rustic Airbnb in a forest or high-end resort lodging to fit your elopement vision and budget.
IN PERSON MEETUPS BEFORE YOUR ELOPEMENT Whenever possible, I make sure to meet up with you both in person before your elopement day, so we can build that genuine, personal connection instead of having a stranger showing up to your most important day.
2 DAY WINDOW + BACKUP LOCATIONS FOR WEATHER FLEXIBILITY Every elopement booked with me ensures you have a built in backup plan (or two, or three), along with a buffer of 2 extra days surrounding your elopement date in case of bad weather or emergencies. I will never leave you hanging without a photographer.
QUICK RESPONSES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS Any text or email sent to me will be responded to as soon as possible, throughout the whole experience. If you have any questions before booking, or any last minute changes on your end before the big day, I can accommodate you however you need.
THOUGHTFUL WELCOME AND DAY OF GIFTS I love gift giving, so I love to go above and beyond to give you some fun goodies to help you be even more excited for your day!
EXCLUSIVE CLIENT PLANNING FOLDER Available immediately after booking, you are provided with organized and helpful planning resources like: a 90+ page elopement welcome guide, Leave No Trace Guide for eloping in the outdoors, an Idaho Location Guide (for elopements in Idaho), an Elopement Planning Checklist, and so much more.
PERSONAL PLANNING DOCUMENT I want to best understand your needs, wants, and values, so I will put all locations and activities that would appeal most to you into a personal planning document to make picking things out for your timeline super simple.
FULLY STOCKED ELOPEMENT KIT I always bring along an elopement kit with me, complete with umbrellas, rain ponchos for your guests, a picnic kit, nice hangers for your wedding dress, and of course all of the snacks and extra waters, to name just a few.
CANDID IPHONE FOOTAGE FROM THROUGHOUT THE DAY I also provide some fun + candid iPhone “behind the scenes” videos that I love to get to share with you after your elopement!
COMFORTABLE + CONFIDENT POSING GUIDANCE My calm presence will help ensure that you feel relaxed throughout the day, and while we are out taking photos, I will help ease you into natural poses that will help you feel comfortable and confident.
72 HOUR SNEAK PEEK GALLERY You'll receive a sneak peek gallery of 30+ images within 72 hours to instantly share your adventure with friends and family with ease.
FULL ACCESS TO HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGES + HIGH QUALITY PRINT PRODUCTS Your full gallery of high resolution images are delivered in an easy to use online gallery. Sharing with friends and family and saving the photos to your phone and computer are made super easy, and you can order high quality print products directly from your gallery. All galleries also include a personalized slideshow with music of your choice.
EDITS DONE BY MY HANDS ONLY One by one, each of your images will be hand edited by me.
YOUR MEMORIES BACKED UP IN SEVERAL PLACES I always carry two camera bodies on me, and each has dual card slots that automatically back up each image I take, as I take them. And right after I get back home, they are backed up in several places on my computers and hard drives, kept forever.
