Dreamy photos of your dream day. ✨

Always just as you are. Because that's all that's needed.

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:

  • Detailed package options and pricing
  • Real timeline examples from past couples
  • What makes working with me different
  • 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 â€“ 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.

wedding photos you'll want to show off on every wall

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.

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.

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."

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.

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


"But what do we actually DO for all those hours?"

"She went above and beyond in more ways than we can even articulate! Everything she did was flawless. Meg's a master of her craft and captured our elopement in a way that exceeded our wildest expectations."

- Kayla & Kent, 2024 couple

"We didn't really know what we wanted besides being in nature; we were really overwhelmed. Meg gave us so many useful resources and helped us dream up our perfect day."

Ready to make this official?

Pick the coverage option that fits your vision. Not sure which one? That's what I'm here for â€“ I'll recommend what makes sense based on what you're envisioning and what you want to prioritize. 



01. choose your coverage

With your starting coverage chosen, I'll send over a link to my digital contract and invoice. Once you sign and pay your $2,000 retainer, your date is officially yours (and I turn away other inquiries for that day – you're locked in!).



02. sign & secure your date

Right after you book, you'll get my comprehensive planning guide and your first questionnaire to start bringing your vision to life. The fun part begins!

03. we'll start planning!

Here's exactly what happens next - it's simpler than you think:

and in case you haven't been told, you are allowed to:

  • want a wedding experience that looks totally different from what everyone else you know has had
  • choose anything you can dream of for your wedding day
  • not be pigeonholed into traditions that don't feel right to you

You're just the best.

If you've officially inquired, then you already have my phone number; text me there or reply to any of my emails – I'm happy to talk through anything that'll help you feel confident in your decision.

Can't wait to celebrate with you two!

Meg 💛

Still have questions? That's totally normal.

You deserve a wedding day that you're wildly excited about, that feels most representative of your relationship.
