Welcome to your Northern California elopement collections proposal!

Hey! I'm Meg – your potential elopement experience architect (and yes, photographer too, but that's only part of what I do).

I'm so excited you're here!

Here's what you'll find on this page:

Lots of inspiration to get you excited

If we just got off our call, you already know how pumped I am about your vision. And if you're exploring this before we chat, welcome! I'm genuinely honored you're considering trusting me with your celebration.

Get cozy, and dive in. If questions pop up as you're reading, text me – I'm here to help!

I also want you to know that as far as I'm concerned – love belongs to everyone.

As an LGBTQ+ ally, it's incredibly important to me that all of my couples know I love and respect them exactly as they are.

No matter who you love, you will always be celebrated here.

I live and run my business as inclusively as possible: I respect your pronouns, am extremely mindful to use non-gendered language, and use gender-free posing direction with every couple.

Experience working with people from all walks of life in this way means I know exactly how to create the space you need to experience your elopement authentically.

With that said, I do not tolerate anything less than the same respect and love for other human beings from my couples. Bigots and those with intolerance of inclusivity and equity (not the same as equality) have no place here. If you find yourself in that space, I'm confident you will find the right photographer for you, as I know there truly are wedding vendors for every type of couple -- as the saying goes, a lid for every pot. Please send me an email simply saying that we're not the best fit, and I will wish you nothing but the best in your search!

My goal is for you two to be fully present while I document your celebration in a way that feels best to who you are as people and a couple.

What sets me apart is that I create an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind experience:

From weaving in meaningful traditions to designing a schedule that leaves room to savor the experience, I'll guide you through every decision. Think personalized activities, curated location recommendations, and insights from someone who's planned her own intimate wedding and dozens of others.

You'll receive your first questionnaire and an exclusive 90-page planning guide the moment you book — packed with sample timelines, detailed packing lists, activity inspiration, strategies for including (or not including) family, and more. Everything you need to feel confident and prepared, all in one place.

Afraid of a wedding vendor vanishing into thin air once you've booked them? Not around here. No ghosting, radio silence, or wondering if you matter. I've been on the receiving end of lackluster vendor experience, so I know how to deliver the opposite. Here, you'll feel supported and valued.

A peek at what you'll receive from me:

Yes, you're hiring me to photograph your elopement.

The architecture for your day — Location recommendations based on your vision (whether that's a vineyard ceremony, redwood elopement, or cliffside vows), a timeline that builds in space to breathe, and guidance on everything from permits to where to stay.

The freedom to be fully present — Because when someone else is holding the plan and you trust they've got it, you can actually be there instead of managing everything.

A gallery that feels like time travel — Not because of my camera settings (though those matter), but because you were so genuinely alive in those moments that the photos become portals back to exactly how it felt.

I help you create an experience worth lingering in, then make sure you have a way to remember it forever.

I don't just document your day.

But you're also getting...

"We would have felt so much pressure to rush through all the moments had Meg not been there. She made sure we soaked up every beautiful moment of the day."

- ASHLEY & ALEX, 2022 couple

"Meg is one in a million. Of all the investments on our wedding day, choosing her to be our photographer was our best one. Hands down."

what's included

An effortless, fun, and true-to-you photography experience

My biggest priority is that your photos turn out even better than you imagine. It doesn't happen by accident: during our planning, I'll get to know both of your individual personalities as well as how you two relate to one another. This all adds up to being able to photograph you two in a way that feels good for both of you and in a way that's as unique as your relationship (no awkward posing required).

All travel fees

The price you see here is the amount you'll pay for your photography. There will never be taxes or "shipping and handling" tacked on.

Lightning-fast gallery delivery

I know you're dying to relive your day (and show everyone), which is why I work so hard to quickly return your images to you! My delivery times are 2-3x faster than the industry average. Every online gallery includes access to high-quality in-house printing access, personal printing rights, and unlimited downloads.

Optional officiating

I'm legally able to officiate if you need someone, which means one less vendor to coordinate (and I'm honored to do it). Please be aware that I do not offer full ceremony design, only the ability to legally marry you.

Exclusive planning resources & assistance

All couples receive my exclusive 90-page How to Elope planning guide that's filled with my best tips and advice about planning your dream elopement experience; custom location scouting, timeline design, and full access to my elopement expert brain – basically everything you need to go from "we have no idea what we're doing" to "we can't wait for this day."

Time to explore 3-4 distinct locations, build in meaningful activities and unhurried moments together, and experience a full day that feels both adventurous and relaxed without the commitment of multiple days.

An intimate, focused celebration in one or two stunning locations – ideal for couples keeping things simple or prioritizing a specific meaningful spot over visiting multiple places.

A fully immersive adventure where you can explore multiple iconic locations, enjoy diverse activities without any time pressure, and have an experience that feels more like an epic celebration or honeymoon than a single event.

The freedom to split your celebration across two days – whether that's a private ceremony one day and celebration with loved ones the next, or exploring completely different landscapes without feeling rushed.

Perfect for couples who want:

Morning coffee while getting ready → Ceremony in the redwoods with your guests → Lunch at a cozy local spot → Afternoon exploring a second location → Sunset portraits on the coast → Dinner celebrating just the two of you

What this could look like:

Meet at your chosen location for sunrise → Exchange vows on a bluff above the ocean → Have a picnic brunch → Wander and explore a second location for portraits → Pop champagne to celebrate → Wrap up by early afternoon

What this could look like:

Day 1: All-day adventure just the two of you (see 'One Day Experience' below) → Day 2: Lunch with your guests at a private rental, sunset portraits on the beach → Day 3: Private vineyard tours & tasting, and celebratory dinner at a local gem

What this could look like:

Day 1: Getting ready together, private vows in a redwood grove, intimate dinner for two → Day 2: Brunch with your closest family, portraits at vineyard, celebration with your friends at a beautiful estate

What this could look like:

Great question. Below are real examples from past couples to show you how time actually flows when you're savoring every moment.
