What’s included in your Michigan Elopement Experience?
-
Ensuring day-of timing goes smoothly so you can focus on enjoying this moment you’ve been dreaming about forever.
-
Communication and trust go hand-in-hand, which is why great communication is so important to my professional process. You can expect clear, reasonable check-ins throughout the process to ensure the best experience and outcome.
-
Film photography is not only a passion for me but it’s something that should be in your gallery, trust me. As an artist, I have a deep knowledge of composition, lighting and storytelling. This allows me to create compelling images that you’ll want to print, hang on your wall and pass down the line. Shooting film also aids me in being a better documentarian in the digital realm - film causes you to slow down, to wait for moments instead of creating them.
-
Helping you choose the perfect locations so you don’t get decision burnout.
-
Professional images delivered to you through an always accessible gallery. Images in a gallery that help you remember your existence is art and should be preserved for the ages.
-
Whether you want a full sunrise-to-starlight experience or a beautifully focused half-day celebration, I offer flexible elopement packages tailored to your story.
