Elopements Elopements Elopements Elopements Elopements
INTIMATE CELEBRATIONS centered on PEOPLE, PLACE, and PRESENCE
Elopements have a way of stripping everything back to what actually matters. Less pressure, less performance, and more room to experience the day with the person you’re building a life with. Whether that means saying your vows in Charleston, disappearing to Kiawah for the weekend, or saying screw it and getting married somewhere in Italy, I’m fully in favor of doing it your own way and documenting the hell out of it.
Elopements & Intimate Weddings
+ Dinner with your favorite people
+ Jumping in the ocean because why not
+ Wandering somewhere beautiful
+ A slow morning together
The ceremony is only one piece of it. Just because an elopement looks different from a traditional wedding day doesn’t mean it matters any less or deserves to be documented any differently.
IT’S NOT JUST
ABOUT THE CEREMONY
Make it yours
There’s no single right way to get married. Stay in Charleston, leave the country, invite everyone, invite no one. The whole point is that it gets to feel like yours.

We were able to capture such sweet moments during our ceremony and afterwards. Kelsey was able to capture our emotions and the beauty around us for our wedding!

Planning
Elopements tend to look a little different every time, which is part of the fun. Whether you already have a full vision or no idea where to start, I’ll help shape a day that feels relaxed, intentional, and fully your own.
Anything intentionally small and personal. For some couples that means just the two of you. For others it means inviting ten or fifteen of your favorite people and turning it into a full weekend experience. There really are no rules here.
Definitely. Having photographed hundreds of weddings and elopements, I know what tends to matter most once the day is over, and what usually doesn’t. I’m happy to help guide the process so things feel easy, intentional, and true to you.
Absolutely. Elopements do not have to mean private. Some couples invite no one, others include parents, siblings, or their closest friends. The size matters far less than the intention behind it.
Usually more than couples first expect. Just because an elopement is smaller does not make it any less meaningful than a traditional wedding day. If anything, the photographs often carry even more weight afterward, preserving and sharing the experience for the people who were not there to witness it themselves.
Most people do. Thankfully, being good at getting married and being good at being photographed are two completely different skill sets. I’ll guide when it helps and keep things feeling natural instead of overly posed or awkward.
Not at all. Elopements can look however you want them to. A downtown Charleston elopement, Kiawah beaches, a courthouse ceremony, a villa in Italy, dinner with ten people somewhere beautiful — all of it counts.
Always. I’m based in Charleston, spend a lot of time in New England, and am fully in favor of getting on a plane for a good story.
Elopement coverage begins at $4,840 for intimate celebrations with up to 15 guests. Most couples add additional coverage depending on location, travel, and how they want the day documented. Reach out and I’ll build something around what you actually have in mind.
Honestly, probably not. The ceremony itself is usually the smallest part of the story, and I’ve found the most meaningful moments tend to happen in the hours surrounding it. My coverage is intentionally designed to document the experience as a whole rather than simply showing up for the vows and leaving afterward.
