You know you don’t want a big wedding… you want something intimate, meaningful, and completely you. Even if you’re not totally sure how to plan it yet.
it may feel overwhelming right now,
but it doesn't have to be...
eloping doesn't have to be stressful...
Drum roll...and that's where I come in!
Hi, I'm Hannah! I'm here to capture every moment that is worth cherishing.
It's time to start putting your vision first and start saying 'no thank you' to the norm.
No more stressing over how many family members can fit at each dining table. instead, say "heck yes!" to an elopement day that is filled with sentiment and togetherness.
I will take all of the stress off of planning your elopement day by giving you custom day timelines, packing list ideas, locations, and so much more!
your go-to-guide,
your elopement planner,
your elopement photographer,
and most importantly your friend!
I'll bring the trail snacks!

"Hannah is an EXCEPTIONAL visionary."
"She was prompt, attentive to detail, kept a list of all the various poses we hoped to capture for the day, and of course her photos were nothing less than spectacular. She sent us our sneak peaks so quick and they were stunning. Our jaws dropped. She has an artistic eye that spots placements and captures the essence of a moment. She is such a pleasure to work with and we would absolutely work with her again and probably will!"
"I am so happy I stumbled across Hannah’s website and decided to book her for our elopement!"

"We did a short and sweet ceremony at Minnewaska state park, with beautiful photos before and after. Hannah met with us several times leading up to the day to give advice and work out timelines, and was sweet, kind, and thoughtful throughout our day, taking all of the stress away. She expertly navigated all of the important moments and got amazing photos."
