Y’ALL DECIDED TO SAY EFF IT AND ELOPE!
So, you’re newly engaged and the traditional wedding scene isn’t your vibe
You want something way more exciting than a courthouse visit
This is one of the most important days of your lives
You’re ready to celebrate your elopement by honoring your authentic selves and your love for one another. You want to call all the shots and do exactly what you want—no need for anyone else’s permission (sorry, Mom!).
Your perfect day involves being in nature, whether it’s hiking up a mountain, exploring the forest, treading the open waters, or simply taking in the magical scenery.
But when it comes to planning an elopement, you’re not sure where to start
You’re craving an experience where you can fully enjoy the day. You want to focus on each other and trust that the important details are thoughtfully taken care of, with your input guiding the way.
And, of course, you want photos that reflect your personalities and the moments you'll cherish forever.
If this sounds like you, you’re definitely in the right place!

"Everything from stunning photography, helping to pick the perfect place to elope, and collaborating together to dream up a fun post-nuptial adventure. From the first virtual call, we knew Cameron was 'the one' for us. She wasn't a stuffy photographer who snapped pictures and went on her way. Not at all.
Throughout the entire day, it was like having a friend exactly when you need them but also the space for a new husband and wife to soak in each moment together."
"We knew we didn't want a traditional wedding but we wanted more than a trip to the courthouse for the most important day of our lives."

"WOW! Cameron was amazing from start to finish. She was so organized we knew exactly what to expect the day of so there was no stress worrying about timing; she was also flexible with us when we said we wanted to include our dog on our wedding day!
She gave us options to choose from and let us make our own fun twist for our reception. It made the entire experience so personable and effortless. We felt comfortable right away and knew we could be our true authentic selves.
Cameron was able to capture that with her photography and expertise, we are so thankful to have trusted her with our elopement. We have so many memories and photos to cherish because of Cameron!!"
"Cameron helped curate an absolutely amazing day for us and played a perfect role of MC, photographer, and good-vibe-bringer!"

"Going into this day, we had never participated in any sort of professional photoshoot (much less one of this magnitude) and from start to finish our special day was filled with passion and joy.
Cameron facilitated an environment where our love for one another flowed freely and comfortably—and that’s all either of us could have ever asked for on our special day.
Not only do we now have these beautiful moments captured on film, but we have the memory of an awesome day that we can look back on and cherish forever. Thank you so much, Cameron!"
"Cameron was there for us throughout every step of our elopement, and made the whole experience very approachable and fun!"

Can we bring guests?
Yes, you’re welcome to bring guests and I’d be happy to plan an exciting day for everyone involved!
However, please keep in mind that while my hard cap is 25 guests, some locations may only permit up to 15-20 guests (including vendors). As your guest count increases, logistics can become more complex, including seating arrangements, bathroom availability, parking space, trail accessibility, and food/drink options.
Additionally, the number of available locations may decrease due to restrictions set by various parks in Virginia, so it's important to consider these factors when planning your guest list.
After reading all this, you may still be wondering…
Do you do engagement sessions?
Yes! Though I call them adventure sessions. An adventure session can be anything you want it to be! Often it's an engagement session, but it could also be an anniversary shoot, a day-before or day-after elopement session, or simply a fun couple’s photoshoot. These sessions typically involve heading to an epic location for amazing photos and, as the name suggests, some element of adventure. Adventure sessions cannot be done in place of an elopement.

These are some questions that past couples have had...
These are some questions that past couples have had...
To legally get married in Virginia, you'll need to obtain a marriage license from a Circuit Court Clerk's office, which requires both partners to be present with valid IDs (like a passport or driver's license) and a $30 fee.
There are no residency requirements, and once approved, the license is valid for 60 days with no waiting period. Virginia doesn't require witnesses, but self-officiation isn’t allowed, so you'll need a registered officiant or a friend/family member who can apply for a one-time civil officiant license if they're a Virginia resident.
For more detailed info and officiant recommendations, check out my blog!
I use Lightroom and Photoshop to edit your images. I add my presets and, from there, I edit lightly. I tend to adjust the lighting, contrast, dodge/burn, saturation, vibrancy, highlights, shadows, etc. In addition to these edits, I also do light retouching (e.g., removal of a distracting element from a picture, removal or minimization of minor blemishes in skin, teeth, or garments, and similar modifications). These photos should be authentic and should make you feel proud to show them off. That is what I keep in mind when I’m in the editing process. I do not use Photoshop to dramatically alter or change your appearance because I strongly believe we are all great just the way we are.
Every elopement is unique but I typically promise 50 images per hour. I cull through the whole batch of photos first to take out any duplicate images or images that don’t meet my minimum standards, but rest assured that you’ll still get all of the moments that matter most to you and your partner!
Your full gallery will be finished within 6-8 weeks and, to help you still ride the high from your elopement or adventure session, I provide a sneak peek within 24-48 hours of your time with me. You won’t be waiting months before receiving some photos! Don’t you worry!
For all of my elopement packages, I require a flat fee of $2,000 non-refundable retainer to be paid at the time of signing your contract. Once your contract is signed and retainer is paid, you've officially booked your elopement date with me and we'll start the planning process A-S-A-P!
The remaining balance of your package will be due 4 weeks before your elopement date.
Everything is sent online via Dubsado and it’s super quick and easy!
No, I don't. I used to but I've really fallen head over heels for the intimate and deeply personal moments that unfold during adventure sessions as well as elopements and intimate weddings. The raw emotions, the breathtaking landscapes, and the freedom to celebrate love without boundaries - it's what sets my heart on fire as a photographer. So, I've decided to embrace this passion and dedicate my craft to creating stunning adventure sessions and elopement experiences for adventurous couples like you!
When you choose me as your photographer, you're not just getting someone to take pictures—you’re gaining a lifelong friend who genuinely cares about your love story.
I take the time to understand your vision and design a day filled with the experiences that matter most to you. With my laidback approach, you can relax and enjoy every moment. I’m here to capture the genuine emotions and memories that will last a lifetime.
Let’s create a beautiful experience together that celebrates your authentic selves!
I firmly believe that:
all people deserve love and deserve to be celebrated, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender, race, abilities, or economic status.
Love is love.
Black lives matter.
LGBTQ+ lives matter and trans kids and adults need to be protected.
Reproductive rights are
human rights.
No human is illegal.
Water is life.
Climate change and science are real.
And if you disagree with any of the above, you can find another small business that aligns with your views.
So, now that most of your burning questions have been answered, does this sound absolutely perfect to you?
SAME HERE! I can’t wait to get to know you two and join you on your special day!!
