FAQ
What is an elopement?
An elopement is an intimate and intentional wedding experience focused primarily on the couple. Instead of hosting a large traditional wedding, couples choose to marry in a meaningful location. It is often with just the two of them or a small group of loved ones, creating a more personal and relaxed celebration.
What is the booking process like?
Once you reach out, I’ll send over my package options so you can choose what best fits your needs. My priority is making sure you get the photos of your dreams, so I’ll be here to answer any questions along the way. To book, all you’ll need to do is sign a photography contract and send an initial payment to secure your date. From there, we’ll stay in touch until our session - feel free to share any inspiration or ideas you’d love to bring to life!
What should I expect from a session?
A great way to approach the session is to think of it like an actual date: relax, be yourselves, and enjoy each other’s company. During our time together, I’ll guide you with prompts and natural poses so you can stay present without worrying about being on camera. This is your time to connect and simply be in love!
What if I don’t have a spot in mind?
When you inquire, I’ll share my location guide with you. It’s filled with photos from my sessions at my favorite spots around the island, along with notes and tips on the best times to shoot, making it easy to find the perfect place for you. If you find another location that you'd like to explore, I am 100% down for a new adventure so please inquire away!
Do you offer film?
Every session includes a full gallery of hand picked and edited digital images, with the option to add 35mm film. Film adds that vintage, nostalgic touch we all love, giving your gallery a unique finish.
What if we don't know how to pose or what to wear?
You’ll have full access to my outfits and poses guide, so you don’t need to worry about a thing. It gives ideas on what to wear and a sneak peek at some of my favorite poses and prompts, helping you feel confident and ready for the session.
Do you allow outfit changes?
Yes! You’re welcome to change outfits during the session—just as long as we stick to the scheduled time. This way you can get a variety of looks for you to choose from.
What if the weather is bad?
I’m prepared to shoot in any weather as each condition brings its own unique feel and will turn out beautifully. If you’d prefer to wait for a clearer day, we can reschedule based on availability.
When and how will I get the photos?
Your turnaround time will depend on the package you choose, varying between 2–6 weeks. Once they are ready, you’ll receive a link to download all your high-resolution photos - be sure to save them all!
Would you travel for a photoshoot?
The answer is a big YES. I love travelling! Here are some of my bucketlist locations: New Zealand, Bali, Mexico, Switzerland, Ireland, Iceland, Mount Rainier, Glacier National Park, Big Sur, New York City, French Polynesia, etc. Take me anywhere!
