So you want to elope?
You're in the right place! I've photographed my fair share of elopements from Chicago forest preserves to Irish cliffs to Washington mountains... I love an epic backdrop as much as I love a fun backyard throw down. Documenting elopements is my personal favorite, my bread & butter, the peanut butter to my fuckin' jelly! I love the intentionality of it all. The laid back vibes. The fact that turning your vow exchange into a once in a lifetime trip is 100% possible. If you're still wondering if eloping is right for you ask yourself this - do you want to spend $30k on a party for a day or a badass trip to Europe?
Few misconceptions about elopements I'm here to address:
No, eloping doesn't necessarily mean you're running off and hiding your marriage from your loved ones.
No, it doesn't mean said closest ones aren't able to join you. Be reasonable, 10-15 people is plenty. And no, 50 guests is not an elopement y'all.
YES, eloping is just as special as a big celebration. I will argue this till my last breath to any nay sayers
Eloping in Chicago
Chicago is an epic city with a gorgeous city hall, cool AF urban vibes, a beautiful natural lake and endless forest preserves to choose from. It's a city of speakeasies, dope music, edgy neighborhoods, and DELICIOUS food. And yes, an elopement there is bound to be memorable.
Eloping in California
I LOVE California. From the beaches to the mountains to the gorgeous Redwoods and deserts. There's no shortage of epic backdrops for your beautiful day.
Eloping in Ireland
I lived in Ireland so I might be biased but Ireland is the greatest country in my opinion. The vibes are so vibin', the people are truly the sweetest and funniest bunch, the music is incredible, and the landscape? Unforgettable.
