Hey! I'm Hannah

AND I'M MUCH MORE THAN JUST your ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

"When our wedding day finally came, she was exactly what I didn’t know I needed and SO MUCH MORE! She prioritized me in every minute that passed that day not only from behind the camera, but as a friend by my side. She helped give me the opportunity to truly enjoy and take in every moment by trusting in her plan and direction throughout the day. Despite the planned timeline we had created, Hannah allowed my husband and I to really live in the moment through each event leading up to us walking down the aisle; she truly listened to what I wanted from the beginning and was able to maneuver things around on our timeline to prioritize that."
- Chelsea and Nick

"SHE WAS EXACTLY WHAT I DIDN’T KNOW I NEEDED AND SO MUCH MORE!"

"Hannah was so easy and fun to work with! She made our elopement go smoothly and captured the sweetest moments of our day. Hannah made our shoot so personal and made sure she captured everything we wanted. She is the most genuine person and really enjoys capturing others' love stories. Hannah exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend using her on your special day! We are so glad our paths crossed!"
Love, The Boyd’s


"Hannah exceeded our expectations… We are so glad our paths crossed!"

"Hannah was awesome to work with. She made the process so easy with her check-ins and made sure we got exactly what we were looking for. She is so flexible and easily pivoted when we made little changes or had new ideas. She has a great eye for natural scenery and lighting. She stands up for her couples and will make sure they get what they had envisioned. Your day will be perfect with her by your side. I highly recommend her and can’t thank her enough for capturing our special day."
- Emily and David

"She stands up for her couples and will make sure they get what they had envisioned."

If getting epic photos of the two of you wasn’t enough, you’ll also get:

Assistance with Permits. Many national parks require a permit for ceremonies or photos. No need to worry though—I'll help you secure one or find alternative locations that match your vision.

A customized timeline. We'll work together to create a tailored timeline for your elopement day or weekend. It will be filled with activities and private moments, and there will be time even for some cake if you want.

No extra travel fees. Each package includes all of my travel within the U.S., 2WD vehicles, and lodging. This means you won't have any surprise fees, giving you the freedom to choose your dream location in the U.S.

Vendor recommendations. I'll ensure that you have the best vendor team, including experts in florals, hair and makeup, videography, and more.

Location scouting. When it comes to making plans A, B, C and back up plan D, finding alternate locations is crucial for your elopement day because of many unknown elements such as weather. I typically arrive 1-2 days prior to your elopement to scout out the exact areas we have planned together to make sure we're 100% prepared for anything that could happen!

Clear Communication. No need to wait for the next planning check-in to
ask urgent questions. You'll have my phone number for texting and a personalized link to schedule a call for more detailed inquiries and planning.

Custom engraved linen box & (40) 4x6 prints from your final gallery

You won’t find many (or any) other photographers that offer this many photos in such a short turnaround time and also include complementary prints.

I make it a priority to send sneak peeks quickly because, when you elope, your friends and family back home want to celebrate with you from afar. My goal is to provide you with a mix of photos throughout the day that you can share with your loved ones. Only sharing a few iPhone photos wouldn't capture the essence of your day.

There’s a huge difference between looking at your photos on a phone and physically printed in your hands. Including free prints is my way of ensuring your special day doesn't only live in an online gallery. They deserve a place in your home, to look back on during many anniversaries to come.

Plus, it’s always fun to show friends and family when they
come over to visit.

“What if we want to include guests for our elopement?”

I’m more than happy to accommodate 15-20 guests and help find ways to make it fun for them, too. Keep in mind that logistics start to get complicated with more people involved and locations become limited, especially within national parks. Bathrooms, parking, accessibility and seating to name a few things to consider when thinking about a potential guest list.

There is an option to plan a private adventure for you during the day separate from your guests, everything can be figured out to customize your dream elopement!


I can navigate these locations with my eyes closed.

NATIONAL & STATE PARKS:
Sedona (AZ)
Grand Canyon (AZ)
Lost Dutchman (AZ)
Superstition Mountains (AZ)
Acadia (ME)
Red Rocks (NV)
BUT–I’m in a serious relationship with American Airlines, so I’m always ready to explore new places. I dedicate time for all locations, new or old, to scout your dream elopement location so I know it inside and out by the time we explore it together on your big day. Please let me know if there is a place not included on this list that you have in mind, if it’s in the U.S., you can count on me being there for you!

Even if you come to me with nothing more than just “we want to get married next to a cactus”, I’ll find the perfect spot for you to say “I do” and more. 

No matter if I’ve been to a location multiple times or if it’s brand new, I make sure to treat it the exact same way. 

Everything is ‘figure-outable’ - Let’s do this.

LOOKING TO TRAVEL SOMEWHERE OUTSIDE OF ALABAMA, ARIZONA, NEVADA OR FLORIDA?

Every elopement or wedding is unique, but I typically deliver 50-100 photos per hour. I promise that I will share all the special moments throughout the day only to remove any duplicate photos or photos that don’t meet a certain standard.
How many photos can I expect to receive?
I will send 15-20+ sneak peek photos 24-48 hours after your adventure session or elopement to share with friends and family on social media! The full gallery will be finished and sent in an online gallery within 6-8 weeks.
When will I receive my final photos?
I find that a sweet spot for inviting guests to celebrate your elopement is between 15-20 because of national park limitations, planning logistics and practicing Leave No Trace. If your dream day includes less than 45 guests, we can look into nearby venues to accommodate your guest list and still mix in an adventure for you two. Fill out my contact form and let’s see what we can dream up together!
We want more than 20 guests, will you still capture our wedding?
Not at all! We can definitely customize your elopement with more accessible views that don’t require hiking. One thing to keep in mind with more accessible locations, mostly within national parks, it will be more popular during certain times of the year and weekends.
Do we need to hike for our elopement?
There isn’t a right or wrong answer, it really depends on your preferred location! Each season offers a unique opportunity – for example, the Grand Canyon gets a ton of snow in February but will be over 100 degrees in July, so it all comes down to the overall vibe you’re looking for!
When is the best time of year to elope?
"Should we rent an entire airbnb for everyone to stay in? What airport should we fly into? How do we plan dinner for everyone after the ceremony? What if there are floral restrictions in the national park we choose to elope in?"

If you find yourself asking these questions, don't worry! We'll cover all of these and any more that come up during the planning process—I've got you covered!

We're wondering about *insert logistics specific question here*, can you help us?
As early as possible, especially if you plan to elope during peak wedding seasons or on popular dates. Typically, couples will book 6-12 months in advance to ensure a smooth planning process! There are occasions when elopements are planned between 1-6 months in advance, but the earlier the better for all of us!
How far in advance do we need to book with you?
It’s basically an engagement session or a day after session, but it involves going to an amazing location to capture epic photos which can include activities such as hiking, rock climbing, kayaking, horseback riding… the possibilities are endless. This is a great opportunity to adventure to a new location the day after your elopement to get even more photos in your wedding outfits!
What is an adventure session?
I do not use photoshop to alter your appearance, such as chins, arms, stomachs, etc., because I strongly believe that we are all beautiful just the way we are. I will however remove most blemishes and any distractions in the background if necessary. I try my best to direct my couples into poses that are flattering to their body types to prevent any discomfort.
Do you photoshop our photos?
Nope, not at all! If you come to me with nothing more than just “we want to get married next to a cactus”, I’ll find the perfect spot for you to say “I do” and more.
Do we need to know where we want to get married to contact you?
I can comfortably capture your elopement day solo! The only instances you may want a second photographer is if you had a larger guest list and I needed to be in multiple locations at once.
Will we need more than one photographer?
PLEASE, YES, BRING YOUR DOG! 
However, only if it's safe and practical to do so. During our planning calls, we'll look over all environmental scenarios to make sure the location is pet friendly and will be a good environment for them to thrive in! Trust me, as a huge dog lover myself and owner of 2 small dogs, I'll make sure we find a way to include them any which way we can.
How can we include our dog in our elopement?

"look, if you had one shot or one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment, would you capture it, or just let it slip?"
