I value real moments over posed perfection every time. During your session, I place an emphasis on natural interaction and moments of love, less “everyone smiling at the camera”.
That way, you will remember how it felt in the moment. Your one-of-a-kind collection of images will tell a story about you and those you love. They are perfect for filling your walls and covering your coffee table with albums of images that fill you with warm memories every time you look at them.
Inclusion is a core value of my business and approach as a photographer. My clients know that they will be safe and respected when working with me. All definitions of love, gender, and family are welcome in front of my camera.
As part of the signature experience I offer, you receive ongoing support after booking.
If you have any questions, I'm available. After you select your location, I will take care of any photography permit filing if needed. I provide an Elopement Guide which will help answer your questions and will help you feel prepared and confident going into your session.
You and your significant other are unique, and your love story deserves to be documented in a way that showcases that uniqueness and beauty!
Therefore, I customize every session to the people in front of my lens. Your photos will look and feel "like you" because you'll feel comfortable, relaxed, and will have fun during our time together.
Your images are hand-edited by Michelle, for a beautiful and cohesive look. I am particularly sensitive to ensuring that your skin tones are natural and authentic.
Your images will be bright and true-to-color, representing how things actually looked. Your images will be calibrated to look beautiful in print and electronic formats, so you can share them with pride and fill your walls and albums with images you love.
In addition to delivering a beautiful online gallery of your images, I offer full artwork services for displaying your images in print, including wall art and heirloom albums.
You also receive a print release that allows you to print your images at a location of your choice, but if you prefer a customized approach and professional printing services, I am here to support you.

Fantastic! We'll schedule a Pre-Booking Consultation Call to ensure we're the perfect fit to work together! Afterward, I'll send you a Customized Booking Proposal that allows you to sign the session contract and submit your non-refundable session payment. Your final payment will be due 30 days before your wedding date.
We love your work and want to book. What's the next step?
I do not provide an upper limit on the number of photos I provide, and elopements generally include at least 75 images per hour. Your online gallery will feature fully edited high resolution images you can print anywhere. You’re also welcome to share your photos on social media!
How many photos are typically included and can we print the photos ourselves?

Within about three weeks of your session, you'll receive a link to an online gallery that will allow you to download your high resolution images.
The gallery is also set up to make ordering prints and other keepsakes as easy as turning on a Roomba to clean your floors. If you're interested in any custom printed products, I'm always here for you!
When will we receive our photos?
