Unleashed Elopements Photography

Happy Pride to all my Q***r hunnies! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💓

You make my life so wonderful and full of joy and true meaning of what love takes when the world feels against you. My business will always be a safe space for you.

This month is just a reminder to the rest of the world how hard you have to fight every single day to feel like you can announce your love without judgement. We’ve come a long way, but still have SO much work to do for equality.

However you identify, I want to celebrate you all month long and ALWAYS! 💕

🌈 🏳️‍🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Did you know you can get married ✨before✨ your elopement?

Yup. I know what that sounds like but it’s true! About 50% of my couples choose to go this route because it allows them to get the logistics of getting married out of the way. Some would rather just have the legal stuff outbid the way first and that doesn’t matter your elopement day any less special.

Say it with me: You’re elopement day isn’t any less special if you don’t get legally married on it!

In fact, now you have two special days 😎 So, I’m curious — did you realize this was an option for your elopement?

Last weekend Van and I did a little camping, hiking, and relaxing on the Coast and had the time to exchange some photos. I know my business is a big part of my life, but honestly moments like ✨this✨ are really what life is about.

Connection with other living beings (nature, humans, and critters) is what makes life meaningful to me and those things I cross paths with is how my life is shaped.

This was one of my reasons I started my elopement photography journey. I found like minded people that cherished nature and creatures than material things. I FREAKIN LOVE the connections I get to have because of elopements.

This past year I have taken a slight step back from working my ass off all the time while managing two jobs and doing more of what I love. Yes, this business is here to stay for now — but I’m shifting priorities to make sure I continue traveling, immersing myself in the outdoors, and bringing back hobbies into my life I put on hold.

This year hasn’t been easy, but I’m staying optimistic and grateful for the path on learning to navigate.

Please enjoy me in my happy place (on the coast of course) with my sweet angel baby.

What most couples don’t realize is that 98% of my clients have NEVER had their photos taken before!

Choosing to hire a photographer for your day can feel so daunting because you’ve never done this before - I get it! It is scary!

From someone who has been on the opposite side of the camera, I’ve had my fair share of cringey poses and awkward moments. I never want this for my couples.

1) I’m actually going to get to know you, from the moment we speak to one another. I’m invested in ✨YOU✨ I love human connections!

2) I’ll read your love language wit your partner and get a feel for your comfortability with how you express your affection to one another and not force you into any experience that isn’t you

3) I’ll actually direct you in a candid way that takes your mind off the camera (like being playful, incorporating activities) but also know that you two aren’t paid models —this is your damn wedding day!

This is how we get you comfortable in front of the camera. This is how you get authentic photos to YOU and not the couple on Instagram of Pinterest. Your relationship is unique and deserves to be captured that way, you don’t need to have experience taking photos before — that MY job 💅
