KIND WORDs
THE CONNECTION THAT’S CAPTURED IN MY CAMERA GETS PEOPLE HYPED. HERE’S WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY.
My relationship with you means the most to me
I count myself pretty damn lucky to know my couples. Scroll down for a slideshow of testimonial videos from past couples about “Elope Your Life” and their elopement experience. Below that are even more written kind words.
Client Testimonial
Working with Sam and Rachel was SO smooth. The process was fun and they were so responsive any time I had a question (or a mild freak out about the marriage license – you know, the usual!). We are not the most comfortable when it comes to taking pictures of ourselves, but Rachel made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! It’s amazing that it felt like we were just hanging out with a friend, and then ended up with GORGEOUS pictures. She is the best!
We had a team behind us to help pull off a stress-free day in the Redwoods. These two are more than just photographers. They helped us get an idea of what an area looks like, and all its specs (like crowdedness, trail incline, etc.), without us ever having been there! They also had a ton of resources for restaurants, lodging and so much more.
Sam asked us during our initial call how we wanted to feel on our day (which was key to building the day we wanted!). We said: free, centered, relaxed, fulfilled. And that’s exactly what our day was. It was the perfect elopement and I am so thankful for Sam and Rachel. These two know what they’re doing!

Client Testimonial
Shelby and Jeff, Alaska
Let’s start off with the fact that the whole week we were in Alaska felt like a blur, because it was truly more awe-inspiring than anything we could’ve imagined, making it SO hard to go back to reality after this fantasy adventure that Sam helped us cook up. There were helicopters, tons of different sights, glaciers, and MOOSE!
One thing we loved about working with Sam was that it never really felt like we took posed photos; there were prompts and directions, but it really was genuine, she captured us just being weirdly us. Jeff complained about getting his photos taken in the months leading up to our elopement, but the experience was way better than expected (he grew up despising cameras) and all of our photos are so full of life, taking us back to that exact time and place. Also, Sam suggested thinking about our day as an adventure first and a wedding second, and it really helped us realize the potential and plan a day that was way more badass and memorable than any traditional wedding!
We certainly don’t feel like we missed out on anything by eloping; in fact, we feel the experience was more meaningful and intentional because we got to experience all of these new adventures together that were uniquely us. I’ve already had friends and colleagues come up to me asking how to elope like we did. My advice is, “Here’s Sam’s contact info – you need to call her.”
Client Testimonial
Sam is COOL. AS. HELL. Working with her and Rachel was great! All of us felt right at home as our goofy selves. We wanted to feel tiny among a vast world on our elopement day and Sam totally delivered. We weren’t worried about all these wedding logistics or family drama, instead we just had an epic adventure in Moab with our dogs, our moms, and some new friends. It was freaking magic!
We loved the whole experience, from our own personal client portal (use it, trust me!) filled with resources, planning and location inspiration to all of us building this really personal relationship. At the end, we had a stress-free “best day ever”, images to remember it by, and a new friend to adventure with. Do yourself a favor: Elope Your Life and hire Sam and her team!
I would do this every year if we could! It was an absolutely magical day & we are so grateful to have her help us create such incredible memories. I’m writing this on our 1 year anniversary because time just flew by! But it’s a perfect time to reflect on just how amazing Sam & her whole team are!
