Elopement packages that aren’t about running away and all about coming home.
From this day on, your future together only gets better.
You’re choosing to celebrate your wedding day in a way that feels right to you and sharing things you both enjoy:
BEING IN NATURE, SLOWING DOWN, AND SPENDING EVERY SECOND WITH EACH OTHER.
And you can already feel it.
The day is serene, personal, and planned with meaning which leaves you feeling more connected than ever and empowered. The day easily becomes a cherished memory you’ll hold onto forever.
Simply put, this day is everything you hoped for
I’m here to help you plan your day and to photograph it with care.
Hi, I’m Sara!
Getting married is a big deal. It’s the day two individuals become ONE TEAM so it’s a day that needs to feel worthy in all the right ways.
As a mindful romantic you know your day is all about laying out all the intentional choices that matter to you.
And, I’m grateful that we’ve met now because around here we’re all about creating an elopement day that’s feels honest to what you like (and don’t like).
And, I won’t be just a photographer. Because elopements deserve all the attention, when we work together, I’ll also be someone who:
HELPS YOU PLAN
You don’t have to plan everything alone. I’m here to help. You deserve to work with someone who provides personalized elopement planning help to shape your vision, build a realistic timeline, and find local vendors to work with.
KNOWS THE AREA INSIDE AND OUT
Understanding the area and knowing the best spots for your ceremony and your photos matter a lot. You’ll feel more confident with someone who knows what to look for when scouting locations. I'll go a step further and provide useful tips and guides to locations you’ve likely only seen in pictures.
HAS YOUR BACK, ALWAYS
You’re eloping, that’s bold. You deserve all the support you can get. From the moment we connect, I’m in your corner. I’ll always listen and back you up on your ideas and share down-to-earth suggestions and answers to all your questions!
GOES BEYOND THE LENS
Taking photos is great but have you ever just been taken care of and celebrated before and after too? This day is more than just signing papers so aside from delivering a stunning online gallery, I’m here to help you with the logistics before and after your elopement. That means I help with permits, officiating, and even prints and albums.
We chose to have an elopement instead of a wedding so we could spend the day doing EXACTLY what we wanted.
We are very minimalist people who love to keep things intimate and simple. In our first free consultation with Sara, I immediately knew we HAD to work with her! Personally, I get overwhelmed with planning things and even when planning an elopement there is SO much that needs to be done. Sara broke down the process in bite sized pieces and provided resources, guides and worksheets to make the planning not only pain free but also really fun.
My fiance and I would sit on the couch with our morning coffee and work through these guides and before we knew it, we had planned our entire elopement - and had fun doing it! We had an idea of what we wanted our special day to look like, but Sara really helped make it very US
E & M, Eloped to Malibu
So if your idea of the best wedding day looks something like this…
Getting partially or fully ready together because spending quality time matters more than tradition (who says you can’t see each other before the ceremony?)
Having a first look with your partner because seeing each other in your wedding attire for the first time is a core memory worth making.
Taking an impromptu stroll by the ocean or along the cliffs just minutes before exchanging vows so your day feels like an experience, not a performance.
Speaking from the heart where no one else can hear you (just the two of you) in your favorite National Park because your promises are personal.
Sharing a first dance with a stunning backdrop and no crowd because some moments are meant to stay between the two of you.
Celebrating this day with only your closest family and friends because intimacy doesn’t mean ‘less’ —it means having MORE of what truly matters.
…then, you’re really going to like it here.
