San Diego Elopement Photographer
For laid-back, nature-loving couples who value intimate experiences over performances.
Looking for an enjoyable process leading up to a stress-free wedding day? Eloping or having a micro-wedding might be the best fit for you!
Keeping your wedding day on the more intimate side allows you to design your day exactly how you like, no strings attached. Whether it’s just you and your spouse, or your closest friends and family added in, you’ll be able to enjoy your day without rushing from event to event, worrying about catering, or spending your entire cocktail hour greeting all of your guests.
Take it from someone who eloped (me!), it’s a decision you won’t regret.
All experiences include hand-edited digital photos delivered in a personal online gallery within 3-4 weeks from your wedding date. Sneak peeks from your big day will be sent to you within 48 hours so you can share fun moments with family and friends while I add the final touches to your gallery.
I’ll assist with itinerary planning, location scouting, and adding in all the details to make your day extra special after we discuss what you have in mind!
The below experiences are for true elopements or elopements with 15 people or fewer. If you’re having a micro-wedding with 15-50 people, please reach out, and I can provide a custom quote!
*Currently booking until May 2027 in the San Diego area
Which experience is right for you?
-
$600 per hr
For couples who want to keep things short & sweet. This is perfect for courthouse elopements or reading vows and taking some fun photos afterwards in a gorgeous location. Ideally, this is for couples who only want to stay in one location or for splitting coverage.
For example, if you have a courthouse appointment at 11:30 am but want golden hour photos later that day, we can do a 2-hour package, where we cover the courthouse photos in the morning and regroup in the evening for some photos at sunset!
-
$1500
Provides up to 4 hours of consecutive photography coverage, including travel to different locations.
This option is great for couples who want more moments documented and plan to have a few different locations on their wedding day. If you want detailed photos like getting ready or doing a first look, then heading off to your marriage location to say “I do”, and grab fun photos of a small cake cutting afterwards (maybe even a pop of champagne anyone?), this package is right for you!
-
$2400
For the couples who want it all and then some! You’ll have me for 5+ hours to cover every moment of your wedding day.
If you plan on designing a whole day around celebrating your love (I highly recommend) then this is the right package for you! This is great for those who want a more documentary approach throughout their entire day. We can start the day by grabbing photos and breakfast at a local spot, or with a quick couple’s session in your room.
Then we can head into getting-ready detail shots with some music playing, and head to your first location in your wedding attire. Afterwards, we can explore the area, celebrate with a cocktail at a local restaurant or a personal picnic on the beach, and go off into the night with some more editorial shots.
We can customize your day exactly how you want without rushing around, and you’ll have photos from every moment along the way!
