The Essence of Elopement
Elopements are about creating a day that feels like you—an intentional wedding celebration without limits or rules. Whether it’s an intimate escape or a shared moment with loved ones, every detail is shaped around what feels right for you.
- A Blank Canvas: Your elopement is a space to explore, connect, and celebrate in a way that reflects your story. Exchange vows on a quiet beach at sunrise. Hike to a mountaintop for a sunset ceremony above the clouds. Say “I do” surrounded by a lush forest or take in the view while standing hand-in-hand by the water’s edge. The possibilities are as open as your imagination.
- Intentional Connection: This is your chance to set aside all the noise and focus on what matters most. Take a moment to pause, breathe, and experience your love in a way that feels honest and grounding.
- Designed With You: Whether you want to include a few close family members or celebrate just the two of you, your day is yours to define. Let go of traditions that don’t feel meaningful and embrace the things that matter.
- Your Day, Your Way: Eloping is about creating a celebration that feels true to your relationship. Let’s work together to design a day that reflects who you are, with intention, creativity, and space to truly connect.

TESTIMONIALS
Client Love
“First of all, I want to thank Vanessa for the wonderful job she did with our photo shoots. The photos came out beautiful, I never get tired of seeing them. Vanessa is very kind, cordial, fun, flexible with her schedule and most importantly, responsible and professional. We gave her our ideas of how we wanted our photos and the best thing of all, is that she combined both ideas and captured incredible images. We are very grateful and happy with Vanessa’s work. If you are looking for someone professional and at the same time fun to take photos, Vanessa is the one to go with, you will not regret it!”
“I cannot recommend working with Vanessa enough! Not only is she incredibly talented in her field, but she is one of the most kind and thoughtful people I have ever met. She made mine and my husband’s elopement so special for us. She had knowledge on locations, poses, lighting, timing, etc. and it all made for the most perfect collection of photos to remember that moment for the rest of our lives.”
“We are so lucky to have found Vanessa. She is easy to work with and finished our album way quicker than expected. Vanessa is talented, dedicated, and she has great ideas. She’s really good at bringing out your smiles and making you feel comfortable. I would highly recommend her. Thank you for the very special memories!”
