Let's Talk About Your Elopement
Fill out this quick contact form and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I am excited you're considering working with me.
How Does It Work?
Book a Call
Fill out the contact form. I'll reply within 24h often within few hours:) Then we can schedule a phone call where I'll gather information about what you're looking for: tentative elopement dates (you don't have to have a date yet), a vision for your elopement, locations, number of guests, package you're interested in etc. I'll be happy to answer any questions you have and explain to you the process. I can also help you decide which package is best for you.
Sign a Contract
If we're the right fit I'll send you a contract and invoice for retainer and first payment. Upon signing the contract I'll block the date and start doing location research/timeline planning and further consultation. You don't have to have the exact location yet. After signing the contract I'll email you a quick questionnaire that will help me understand the vision for your elopement better. You're welcome to send me any photo inspiration as well so at the end I can deliver the best experience.
Start the Planning
Upon signing the contract, and receiving first payment, I'll help you getting the permits (if applicable) and I'll start to research the best 3-4 location ideas for portraits/ceremony. I'll send them out to you so you can pick the one that works/fits best. Then about month or less before your elopement, I'll send more detailed timeline to give you an idea how it's going to go. Keep it in mind the nature of elopements is that they can be unpredictable; the weather, park and trails closures etc. therefore we have to be open to last minute alterations. Then the countdown to your elopement day begins...
FAQ
When we are ready to book, how do does it work?
Once you decided I am the right fit for you we would schedule a call/faceTime or Zoom call/text if you're prefer, and I would briefly go over the contract and payment details. I'd need you to sign the contract and send 500$ retainer to hold the spot, along with the remaining 25% balance so I can start initial work. Only upon receiving both signed contract/retainer I would start location research, permit assistance and further planning. Unlike a traditional wedding, elopements are more flexible and spontaneous in nature, but they also require a lot of planning and logistics. So once you pick a date and we have tentative idea for the location we can go from there.
When will we get our photos?
Your will receive an online gallery link with all your photos ready for download within maximum 8 weeks (often sooner depending on the season I photograph your story). You can download all the photos from the gallery but also share them, choose your favorites, and order prints!
Why should we choose you over other photographers?
If you are looking just for quick snapshots looking at a camera, I might not be a fit for you. I would dare to say, you don't even need a professional photographer for those kind of shots, because anyone with a phone can take quick snapshots. You should hire me if you're looking for beautiful professional photos of you and your loved one, on probably the most special day of your lives. If you want photographs that tell a story, invoke emotions and are timeless, so you can relieve them years to come. I am a very easy going person, and I will do my best to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, even though it may feel awkward at first. I also know how to capture candid documentary style photos of never seen before angles, emotions or expressions of yourselves. Trust me, clients love these shots! I am a published landscape photographer as well, and scouting beautiful locations, understanding the light is my specialty. You're beautiful as you are, but with some magic, I can make you feel like you're the only ones in any grand landscape.
We're camera shy, will you help us with posing?
Definitely. I encourage couples to find some inspirations online, to give me an idea what are you looking for and what poses you are comfortable with. I aim to shoot candid documentary style before and during the ceremony, to get you accustomed to me and my camera, and then once we get to your dream portrait locations you'll have fun posing, laughing and just being yourselves.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I''m based out of Salt Lake City, UT but I serve all of the west. From Colorado to the beautiful Pacific Northwest and California. I love traveling more than anything so I am available for destination elopements as well. As a landscape photographer I have been to over 50 countries so I can recommend some amazing places outside of USA. Feel free to reach out.
How many pictures will we receive?
Roughly 50- 75 photos per hour of coverage. For instance for a 8 hours coverage, you will receive between 450-600 fully edited images. I always choose quality rather than quantity and that''s why I will select the best photos that tell your story ...but because I often have a hard time narrowing down expect a lot of extras:)
Do you do other photoshoots?
Absolutely. I do any couples photoshoot whether it's and engagement session, casual fun photoshoot or adventure session that would include some activity such as hiking or biking. i am also available for proposals and anniversary photoshoots. All love is welcome.
Do you offer payments plans?
Yes, I do. I split the payments into two payments. First is the 500$ retainer and 50% of the remaining balance due upon signing the contract. Then the remaining 50% of your remaining balance is due 30 days before your elopement. If it's a last minute wedding- 30 days or less, full payment is due at signing.
