You deserve to have

A Unique, Meaningful Wedding Experience

So you and your partner have decided to commit to each other, but a big, traditional wedding just doesn’t feel right. Maybe planning a big party feels too stressful, or maybe you’d rather say your vows in private. Either way, you feel like your wedding day should actually be about, well…you. (Crazy, right?)

It should be fun and enjoyable and a reflection of who you are as a couple. This means looking outside of tradition and thinking outside the box. It also means finding a photographer with a bit of a different perspective—one who can deliver not only beautiful, meaningful photos but also a wedding experience that you’ll remember for years to come.

You're here because you're...

…and you deserve to have your love told honestly and wholeheartedly

Here's the good news:

There's no "right" or "wrong" way to get married

Read that again. Now breathe a sigh of relief.

So Now What?

It's time to rethink what's required to get married.

When you throw expectations out the window, the possibilities are endless

Okay, so then…

What Does It Actually Mean to "Elope"?

Eloping no longer means “secretly running off to get married”, but rather having an intentionally meaningful and intimate wedding experience. Whether it’s just you two or you choose to include the people closest to you, it’s still your wedding day, and you deserve to have a fun, authentic experience that focuses on you and your partner. This means creating a day that is truly all about the two of you.

Close your eyes and imagine the BEST DAY EVER. How would you spend the day together? What makes your hearts happy? You can make it part of your dream wedding.

TL;DR: Eloping means choosing your love over everything else.

"WE LOVED WORKING WITH PAULINE!"

We had some unexpected weather conditions (a blizzard) and she didn’t skip a beat. She scouted the perfect location and we couldn’t be happier with how our photos turned out. They are stunning. She is so talented and even captured some gorgeous photos of us with our pup too. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.
