Georgia Elopement Packages & Pricing

I specialize in elopements of 25 guests or less! I absolutely LOVE when couples elope just the two of them, but I also LOVE when couples bring their dearest ones in on the adventure too! However, please keep in mind that many locations on public lands in Georgia are *small* and cannot accommodate bigger group sizes. For North Georgia public lands, I often recommend 5-6 people max (That includes your officiant if you hire one, your photographer, the both of you, and a loved-one or two) in order to abide by the Leave No Trace ethics! It’s so important that we keep the places we love pristine for other visitors but also for their longevity so you can keep coming back to visit year after year. If you really want a ceremony with a bigger group of your loved-ones, I often recommend booking a rental for your ceremony (make certain the host of the property is okay with your ceremony FIRST before you book) or I recommend booking a venue that caters to small weddings!

HECK YES YOU CAN!!! I’m an animal lover through and through, and I’d be so honored to photograph your sweet, furry companions!

This is a HUGE question I get from couples all the time! We stick to plan A as much as possible, and I watch the weather closely in the days leading up to your elopement day, but sometimes, dookie happens! And with weather, you can expect the unexpected! It’s always a good idea to have back-up locations in place (yes, ones you’re still *just* as excited about) or a back-up elopement day to pivot to in case the weather is just terrible! I always block off time for each and every elopement day (regardless of the established timeline) in case we need to pivot because of weather! If you can help it though, I challenge you to embrace the weather! The rain and fog, for example, can make for incredibly moody and beautiful photos, and maybe this sounds strange, but those conditions are probably my favorite to photograph couples in; I’ve even had couples get a little bit muddy and dance in the rain! (: If this is a big concern of yours planning your elopement day though, you can always book your elopement during the driest months in Georgia, which would be September through October!

It’s such a vulnerable spot to be in front of the camera, and I empathize with that uncomfortable head space you might find yourself in during the photo-taking process. My approach is to be your fly-on-the-wall. I’m observant and I anticipate moments. I pose minimally, and aim to get the two of you interacting with each other more than you’re interacting with me and my camera. I may get the two of you to hug tightly or look at the beautiful scenery so that you can connect with each other and the beautiful surroundings! Mostly though, I want to tell you that you already know how to pose. No one knows how to hold your partner's hand or hug them like you do, and that's worthy and important.

Most of my couples do end up hiking on their special day, but hiking is not a requirement to have an adventurous elopement day! Some of the more “hidden-gem” locations do require some hiking and are often more secluded than front-country locations, but there are still beautiful locations that you can drive up to if you have accessibility concerns! These locations, of course, will see more visitors, but there are ways to avoid crowds (yes, even at popular locations), and we can work through that together! (:

Most of my couples book 6 to 12 months out from their elopement day! I do recommend booking at least a couple of months in advance to pull any permits (if needed) or to plan activities that may require more logistical hoops to jump through. But, I’ve helped couples plan just a couple weeks out to even 24 hours out from their chosen elopement day! No matter when you want to elope, reach out to me, and if I’m available, I’d love to capture your day!

My hub is North Georgia. This place is so special to me, and I’d love to share it with you. I feel like I know this area like the back of my hand. I do the majority of my work here, and even though I don’t specifically market towards destination elopements, I photograph 1 or 2 destination elopements a year. I’ve can-amed on sand dunes in California for an elopement and even hiked to an alpine lake for sunrise in Colorado with a super adventurous couple! I can never say no to your incredible adventure in an amazing location!

How many photos you get depends on the hours of coverage you book and the activities you choose to do throughout the day. But, on average, I deliver anywhere from 50-70 photos per hour!
