YOUR “ELOPE YOUR LIFE”
EXPERIENCE

AS SEEN ON

On your elopement day, you want to feel like someone’s in your corner, like you’re taken care of.

And that’s why it’s all about:

EXPERIENCE > TRANSACTION

IF YOU’RE HERE, YOU WANT AN EXPERIENCE.

AND you DON’T JUST WANT SOME PERSON TO CAPTURE IT,
YOU’RE LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT PERSON.

When we adventure together, you’re not just getting an Adventure Elopement Photographer; You’re Also getting…

  • Emergency elopement kit with my Carpet bag of tricks (I’m Mary Poppins, y’all)
  • Unofficial personal park ranger (I’m not called “Ranger Sam” for nothing)
  • Location Matching & weather skills Like you’ve never seen
Wait, who’s this bitch?
  • Jacket holder while you pee in the woods
  • Long distance BFF
  • Someone who will absolutely will tell Aunt Carol to get lost if she’s giving you grief

“We felt safe and taken care of”

What we loved most was the connection and experience we had….Even getting on our initial consult was so key; she was intentional in getting to know us and there was no pressure. If you’re wanting an “experience” instead of just a transaction or service, you’ve got to get on a call!

“Sam’s resources were Invaluable”

Sam’s resources were invaluable and she walked us through the entire process for our Redwoods/Oregon Coast elopement…. It felt like we were with a friend going out on a hike, experiencing and learning about our surroundings.

“Worth Every Penny!”

Sam blocks out time for Zoom calls and truly makes the effort to get to know you. What you see on her website is her, and you can tell that from the first consult call.

QUICK FAQ

Absolutely not! In fact, over half of couples who reach out specifically want me and Rachel to help guide them to the perfect location/date when we dive in and brainstorm! Your adventure elopement photographer is also often your adventure guide 😉

Based on the location of your elopement, any collections I send you will have my travel included unless it’s a unique situation.

You must have scrolled right past it! There’s a button a few swipes up, but you can also click here for starting pricing.

Good question! Consider me your “planning guide/consultant”. I know the permits you need, top locations, the marriage license details, and have top vendor recommendations I can refer to you. All you have to do is make a quick call and tell the vendor what you’d like and pay them, taking the guesswork out of whether they’re reliable or professional. I’ll send you all the permitting info you’ll need so all you have to do is fill it out and send it in. I can even recommend top eats and places to stay!

That’s a good question! Some dates are reserved for personal adventures, but most of my schedule revolves around couples and when their elopements are. So in reality, the sooner you book, the more likely your date is available! See Updated Travel Dates Here.

That we are not! While not always true, I’ve found in that trying to do both photography and videography, one (or both) medium often suffers. I want to make sure you have next-level images, as opposed to just “okay” images and video on professional gear. The only video we do is an optional add-on of a TikTok video capture via phone.
