If you want to decide on the place you’ll say your vows when you get there.. you can! The value of great elopement photography is preserving the entire story of the day you got married. Not just the pretty scenes, but every emotion and moment. Your unique brand of mutual weirdness. It’s your day and you can do whatever you want with it.
Two day elopement photography package – $9900 USA / $10900 Worldwide
For those of you that want to have your cake and eat it. Consider a two day elopement to include your favorite humans (and animals) on one day, and have an intimate outdoor adventure on the other. If you are brimming with ideas and can’t decide how to get married, this is a great option for you. Maybe the place you want to get married isn’t accessible for your loved ones, so split it up. If you want mountains AND the beach, the redwoods AND a dancefloor – I’m ready to make that happen for you!

Example Of A Real Two Day Elopement
Renae and Paul flew to the other side of the world with me to elope at Lake Tekapo, South Island, New Zealand. They chose to elope just the two of them, and both their elopement day and the second day of adventure activities were jam packed with fun, beauty, and sillyness. After marrying on the shore of a shining turquoise lake, they tackled the half day hike to Mt. Cook – in the fog and pouring rain. Icebergs on the green glacial lake were the only witnesses to their first dance. They ended their first day with a romantic photo under the stars. On the second day, we frolicked at the Milford Sound fjord and they kissed at the base of a thundering 500′ tall waterfall. The tears were flowing when they opened a book of messages of congratulations and well-wishes from loved ones. They truly had it all.
1.5 Day Elopement Photography Package – $7900 USA / $8900 Worldwide
This is for those of you wanting to combine your honeymoon with your marriage! If your elopement is a destination for you, you can capture more of your trip experience with this one. This could either be in a location with totally different scenery from your first day, or centered around an activity you love. You could go whitewater rafting, dogsledding or take a sunset cruise on the ocean! You may choose to use this option for a prewedding session, such as an engagement, boudoir, or night-before dinner. This package includes a beautiful 20 x 30 Canvas to hang on your wall.

A real 1.5 day Elopement Example
Micaela & John Michael had a simple backyard celebration with emphasis on close family that were able to be with them. Micaela got ready with her mom and beloved cocker spaniel. John Michael’s reaction when he saw her was an audible gasp. They shared a first dance and dinner on the back porch of her mom’s house, a deck that the groom himself had put blood, sweat and tears into. Then we met up at Bryce Canyon National Park for a sunrise portrait shoot. I couldn’t imagine living without either session we spent together.
1 Full day Elopement Photography Package – $6900
I truly believe in telling your story from start to finish. When you decide to elope, it really means you get to choose all the awesome things that YOU love. All the joy of sharing these amazing experiences – you’re going to want photos of it. It won’t feel like a full day photoshoot- far from it! For most of the day I am a documentary photographer. I want to shoot every in-between moment of spontaneity, unplanned goodness, and authentic weirdness that is you two. I offer entire-day photography because I don’t want your day to be rushed, stressed, or turn into a checklist of photos. Fill your day with fun foods and activities that make you grin. A full day elopement experience is for you to enjoy your marriage day fully.

Example of a full day elopement
Tee & Danny eloped just the two of them in the mountains of California while on a cross country road trip. They had their first look at sunrise on the shore of a lake. Then we hiked up a small hill overlooking the most colorful mountain in the whole state. The yellow rabbitbrush swayed as they tearfully said their vows. The elation of their triumphant JUST MARRIED scream was palpable. They met a chipmunk and read messages from their family and friends. The couple ended up in the grocery store for lunch after their arranged picnic fell through. We squeezed in a Canoe paddle on a sparkling lake before a chic private dinner and dip in a hot spring. It. Was. EPIC.

Elopement Albums
Interested in an album? There are tons of cover options and custom ideas to make it your own. Albums are in addition to my elopement photography pricing, and you’ll never be forced to buy one.
After your elopement day, which is sure to be the best of your life so far, you’ll get to hold the experience in your hands – and that’s pretty awesome.
Additionally, those who were not able to join you at the elopement can re live the day through the book. All albums are heirloom quality, beautifully custom designed, with thick, lay-flat pages. Albums start at $900 for a 12 x 12, 20-spread beauty.
So, what would your elopement day have to include?
An adventure by jeep on a dirt road up a mountain pass? A picnic, a cook out, a private chef or a favorite restaurant? A sunrise hike through the quiet forest to an epic vista or peaceful lake? Chartering a boat up Lake Powell to explore secluded canyons? A doors-off helicopter tour of Kauai to a waterfall? Use my sample timelines to start imagining your dream day and see which of my packages will suit you!
You dumped the wedding because you want to do fun stuff instead.. so do ALL the fun stuff!!
Before you elope
Think of me as your fairy godmother of planning. There’s no stress when you are free from obligations, and adventure means something different to everyone. I want you to have the best day, and I’m going to guide you every step of the way. Beyond my extensive location guidance, I help connect you to local vendors, unique accommodation and activities. I’m in your corner and I make it happen for you.
Your day
I come prepared, with a bit of cat hair added on for flair. I document all the fun you’re having as your day unfolds. As a certified dork myself, I create an atmosphere where it’s easy to feel comfortable being yourself. Shenanigans, unplanned moments, and authentic candids are my favorite. Great photos come from great moments and I make sure there are a lot of those.
The final product
After you’ve had the best freaking day ever, you get a set of sneak peeks within 48 hours. When you see your complete gallery, you’ll be amazed at how much each photo transports you back to every emotion you were feeling. It’s truly like a time machine for you to remember your day by. You’ll be so excited to share your experience with everyone in your life, and ordering an album is optional.
Over 240 happy couples.
“The lengths and acrobatics she was willing to go to for “the shot” were impressive AND terrifying as we scaled some sketch terrain on the side of a mountain. We talk about her constantly and recommend her every chance we get. There is not a single moment we can think of where we wished it had been captured, she is always 10 steps ahead. Thank you, Lucy, for helping us fulfill this dream and have the photo evidence of just how epic it was!”
– Jamie & Kelley, Wives since 2020
