ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY · FINGER LAKES & ROCHESTER, NY
Just the two of you
How it's meant to be
No timeline pressure, no 200 guests watching, no one telling you where to stand. Just you two, a place that means something, and a photographer who actually gets it.
I've spent years documenting couples - and this year I'm opening up a limited number of elopement dates. No big production. Just the day, exactly as it should be.
Starting at $1,200 · Finger Lakes & Rochester · Limited dates available

WHAT TO EXPECT
Photography
that feels like you
Elopement photography is different from everything else I do. There's no shot list, no family formals, no running behind schedule. We move at your pace, in a place you actually chose, and I document it the way it actually feels. Every elopement is a unique experience and I love that no couple has the same love story.
Everything is shot on 35mm and medium format film alongside digital. The film frames are the ones that end up on walls. The ones you'll show people for the rest of your life.
All locations within 90 miles of Rochester are included - no travel fee. If you have somewhere specific in mind, a vineyard you love, a trail you've hiked together, a spot that means something - let's talk about it.
