I know we just met (hi!),
but if there's one thing I know to be true, it's that:
but if there's one thing I know to be true, it's that:
but I have a hunch that your soul is craving to prioritize your experience on your wedding day.
You already know what's right for you.
Is it just me, or is it loud in here?

('HERE' BEING THE LAND OF WEDDING PLANNING - which happens to be filled with familial opinions, 50 Google pages of articles, and general noise)
If my guess is right, you want to feel immersed in your wedding day. You want to feel thrilled. You want to feel awake (and not in the usual non-sleeping way).
You want to get lost in your partner's eyes and feel like there's no possible way another human could be in existence in that moment; there's only the two of you.
All you have to do is listen to the quiet voice deep within yourself to find out what that answer is.
But most of all, you want to savor every precious moment because when it comes down to it, you know that this is just one rare fleeting day.
An unhurried, joyful wedding experience without the stress of obligations
That's what I'm here to help you bring to life: the wedding day that's just the way you dream about it feeling.
and while we're at it...
Sonoma County might be just the place you didn't know you were looking for.
Is that you, Paradise?
(but you already knew that 😉)
So, where are we headed for your elopement?
if you happen to be in the market for a magical place to elope,
(while Sonoma is my homebase, I travel anywhere your imagination takes us!)
Honestly, could've fooled me.
"When she sent us our photos, our jaws literally dropped and we just stared at them for hours."

"Meg knows what she’s doing big time and made our day more special than we could have ever imagined!"
I believe Black, LGBTQ+, and Trans lives matter. No matter who you love or what you look like, all love is celebrated here.
Living in west Sonoma County (90 minutes north of San Francisco), I'm no stranger to how incredible this place is. I call the redwoods home (truly - they tower over my house), and spend my weekends kayaking, hiking, wine tasting, and simply soaking up all of the stunning views here during those activities. As one of my recent SoCo elopement couples said, "We've yet to find anything that this area doesn't offer!"
In other words, this is a magical place to elope. And because I'm a local with insider knowledge, I'm just the person to help you craft your dream wedding day and document it in timeless photos for you to look back on and re-live over and over.
My name's Meg and I'm here to help you create and preserve your dreamy wedding memories.

I've also been the unfortunate recipient of a lackluster client experience from my photo team. I've been on the other end wondering if they had just dropped off into the ether, going almost a year without hearing from them. I didn't feel valued at all. As a fellow wedding vendor, I was incredibly disappointed, but it created the fuel to design an epic-ly comprehensive experience for my couples so that they never have to feel the way I did.
In our work together, not only will you receive a jam-packed 90-page guide with everything you could ever need to know about how to elope, but I'll also get to know you and your vision through questionnaires, as well as plan your timeline and give you plenty of suggestions for whatever you're struggling to figure out (locations, activities, logistics -- I've got you covered!).
Having been through the wedding planning and wedding day experience myself, I know first hand what you're going through. Whether you're struggling to get your closest people on board with your vision, deciding how to curate your wedding day traditions for a specialized experience, or simply figuring out the activities you want to include, I've been there.
I create a comprehensive, one-of-a-kind experience.
WHAT SETS me APART IS THAT

The best part about eloping is that you can celebrate having the freedom to do whatever you and your partner want on your wedding day. Want to say your vows at the top of a 50 foot balcony in the redwoods? I know a place. Dreaming of dipping your toes (or more!) in the ocean in your wedding outfits? You got it. Thinking about bringing along your ten closest people, or no one at all? Either way and anything in between is perfect.
This is your wedding day, and you get to call all of the shots.
This is your opportunity to prioritize the wedding experience of your wildest dreams.
There is no one right way to elope, and that's the way it should be.

with that said, I'm not the best fit for you if...
You’re looking for any old photographer to show up and take your photos. Doesn’t matter who, you just need the job done.
I come alongside all of my couples and curate an intentional elopement planning experience for them so they can feel taken care of and that I’m actually invested in making their wedding day as meaningful as it can possibly be.
My couples love that I fully show up for them, and that I don’t just slap a couple of half-hearted questions together to know what time to show up on their day.
