Autumn is here 🍁

06/25/2025

It’s no secret that I’m drawn to locations that feel like something out of a fairytale. I live for dramatic cliffs, misty highlands, enchanted forests, crumbling castle ruins, and windswept coastlines.

These places don’t just make for beautiful photos, they add soul to your story. They help bring the mood, the emotion, and the atmosphere to life.

Whether it’s the Fairy Glen in the Isle of Skye, a tucked-away glen in the Scottish Highlands, or the Amalfi Coast in Italy, these wild places hold a certain kind of magic that you just can’t fake.

I offer Storybook Elopements.
A storybook elopement is an intentional, deeply personal wedding experience that blends romance, adventure, and breathtaking, fairytale-like locations. Think of it as your love story told in the most cinematic, magical way where every detail reflects who you are as a couple, and nothing is done out of obligation.

Instead of a packed guest list and rigid timeline, you’re free to slow down, soak in the moment, and say I do in a place that feels meaningful.

What makes it “storybook” is how it feels: romantic, moody, whimsical, and a little otherworldly. Whether you elope on the Isle of Skye, deep in a mossy forest, or in a charming medieval village, your day becomes a chapter in a fairytale written just for you.

I get this question a lot:

How do we choose where to elope?????? 🤷🏼‍♀️
 This is one of the most exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) parts of planning an elopement—but it doesn’t have to be complicated. I always tell my couples to start with how you want the day to feel. Do you picture running barefoot through the wild moors of Scotland, or saying your vows in a sun-drenched vineyard in Tuscany? Are you drawn to cozy cottages in the English countryside, or do you want to end your ceremony with a champagne toast on a coastal cliff at golden hour?

Close your eyes and imagine what a perfect day together feels like—then we can find the place that brings that vision to life.

➡️ It’s less about ticking off a Pinterest-perfect location and more about choosing a place that reflects your story. Maybe it’s somewhere you’ve always dreamed of exploring, or maybe it’s a country that just feels like magic. I’ll help you narrow it down based on the season, scenery, your travel comfort zone, and how adventurous (or relaxed!) you want the day to be.

So, whether you want castles or cobblestone streets, rugged mountains or seaside towns—I’ve scouted the best hidden gems so we can create something that’s wildly beautiful and so authentically you!

A Fairytale Elopement in Charleston ✨

I literally feel like I just jumped out of the pages from “The Notebook”!

The beautiful was our gorgeous backdrop for this sweet couple and this elopement truly is the stuff dreams are made of!

Imagine this: Waking up in a quiet village in Tuscany, the scent of espresso in the air, your wedding dress hanging near an open window, sun spilling across the floor. There’s no rush, no expectations-just the two of you, soaking in every moment of what really matters. Eloping in Italy isn’t about escaping tradition-it’s about choosing something deeply personal and wildly romantic.

As a destination elopement photographer, I help you bring this dream to life-guiding you through the how, the where, and the what if we kissed in that vineyard moments. Whether it’s the Amalfi Coast, Lake Como, or a hidden corner of Florence, I’ll be there to capture your story exactly as it unfolds-intimate, emotional, and entirely yours.

✨✨✨There’s something so tender and sacred about getting ready together on your elopement day. No big audience, no rushed timelines-just the two of you, helping each other with buttons and zippers, sharing quiet glances and deep breaths. It’s not about tradition; it’s about connection.

✨✨✨Starting the day side by side sets the tone for everything that follows. It slows the moment down and reminds you why you’re doing this: not for the photos, not for the performance, but for each other.

Eloping feels like writing your own fairytale — one where the love is tender and the moments are sacred. It’s wild and soft all at once.

Why eloping feels like a dream:

• You and your love can be in a world of your own, where love is the only thing that matters.

• You have the freedom to choose somewhere breathtaking, wild, or whimsical.

• It’s a day shaped by emotion, not expectation.

• Every moment is intentional - quiet, sacred, and soaked in meaning.

• It turns your love into a living fairytale - intimate, wild, and timeless without the crowd.

If this sounds like a dream to you…then let’s chat ❤️

Is eloping right for you??? 💍
Let’s talk about it.

Eloping isn’t about “skipping” your wedding. It’s about redefining it.

It’s choosing a day that’s intentional, stress-free, and completely centered around you two. No timelines. No pressure. Just your love, your way.

If the thought of a big, traditional wedding feels more overwhelming than exciting—you’re not alone. Eloping might be the most you decision you’ll ever make.

So… how do you know if eloping is the right move?

Here are a few things to think about:
• Are you craving simplicity and intimacy?
• Do big events light you up—or drain you?
• Would not having certain people there feel
freeing or heartbreaking?
• Would you rather spend your budget on travel, experiences, or something else meaningful?
• Are both of you a “HECK YES” to this idea?

At the end of the day—this is your story. And you get to write it however you want.

A romantic sunrise elopement on the quiet shore of Polignano A Mare, Italy 🇮🇹.

This couple and this day was so dreamy, I’m still in awe at how beautiful this day was ❤️.

Imagine this: You and your love, standing hand-in-hand, surrounded by the misty, rugged beauty of the Isle of Skye in Scotland.

The air is crisp with a hint of salt, and the landscape unfolds like a scene from a fairytale—rolling hills, dramatic cliffs, and crystal-clear waters reflecting the soft pastel hues of the sky.

The world fades away, leaving only the two of you in a place untouched by time. As you exchange vows beneath ancient, towering rock formations or by the edge of a tranquil loch, the only sound is the whisper of the wind and the distant call of seabirds.

It’s a moment so intimate, so pure, it feels as though the earth itself is celebrating with you.

The landscape is your canvas: dramatic vistas, hidden beaches, and lush green valleys are the perfect backdrop to your love story. And afterward? You’ll wander through mossy forests, get lost in the quiet beauty, and celebrate with a private picnic of local delicacies, savoring every moment as the sun sets over the horizon.

An elopement on the Isle of Skye is more than just a wedding—it’s an unforgettable adventure in one of the most enchanting places on Earth. Are you ready to make your dreams come true in this magical corner of Scotland? 💍🌄💕
