My name's Meg,
and I specialize in experiential, all-day and multi-day elopements taking place in the redwoods, at the coast, among the mountains, and everywhere in between.
I collaborate with my clients to design elevated experiences in stunning locations and then capture it in photos they put on every wall.

You can have wedding photos that look like editorial spreads and a day that feels completely authentic to you. You can invest time in creating stunning portraits and not feel like you're doing a photoshoot.
But only if someone's designed the experience to make both possible. And that's what I'm an expert in.
Here's something most people don't realize:
an elopement experience you'll be grinning about forever

And then, when the day comes, you just show up.
I've already built the framework.
All that's left is for you to live it.
- Tell me your vision — Submit an inquiry sharing what you're dreaming of: settings, vibes, must-haves. (It's okay if it's still a bit hazy!)
- We design it together — On our discovery call, I'll help you refine your ideas and recommend tailored experiences that build on what you're envisioning — locations, timelines, activities, the works (all for free).
- I curate all of the details — Once you're booked, I help you select your locations, design your schedule, coordinate logistics, and send you resources to stay grounded in what matters most: actually enjoying this.
How you'll go from 'we have no idea' to 'we can't wait':

- Molly & Patrick, 2025 couple
"Meg really is the best, and we can't imagine navigating this whole experience without her."
"Her insights and personable approach took so much stress out of the entire experience for us. Giving us a bunch of ideas of where to take photos and when was so helpful and really added to the magic of the whole event."

My packages start at $6,500 and include everything I mentioned above — white-glove elopement design, location scouting, timeline design, and photography coverage. Most couples invest between $7,000 — $10,000 depending on the scope of their celebration.
5-9+ months before your date is ideal, but I've also helped couples design their day a month or two in advance, so don't be afraid to reach out if you're on a shorter timeline.
For 2026, I have space for 6 more couples. If you're thinking 2027, we have plenty of time (I book a maximum of 18 months out).
What if I'm not ready to book yet?
When do I need to reach out?
What's the investment?
That's completely okay; lots of people aren't when they first reach out. I'm happy to chat through your vision, give you some ideas to think about, and help you figure out anything you're struggling with. No strings attached.
a few things you're probably wondering:
Redwoods? Check.
Mountains? Yep.
Endless rolling vineyards.
Dazzling ocean views too.

- Haley & Jason, 2025 couple
"Meg made us feel super comfortable throughout the day and the final wedding album looks AMAZING."
"She found awesome locations we wouldn't have found ourselves, and got amazing photos without us even noticing her or the camera at times. The entire weekend met and exceeded our expectations, so thank you for everything!"
If you're looking for non-wedding couples session info, you can find that here.
You don't need to know your exact date, your coverage needs, or even which locations you're drawn to before reaching out. All you need to know right now is: does this kind of experience feel like what you want? If yes, let's talk.
Fill out what you know and we'll figure out the rest together on our call.
Not sure where to start or overwhelmed about it? That's exactly what our discovery call is for.
That's exactly what I created this free Elopement Timeline guide to address.
It walks you through real-world elopements so you can get a sense of how the celebrations I help design end up flowing, from intimate single-day celebrations to multi-day experiences that let you truly savor every moment.
In every instance, the end result is an experience that feels like the most beautiful version of your regular life together (plus a healthy sprinkle of adventure).
