Elopement Photography Only
You've already got the plan. I'll document the day.
Photography-only coverage starts at $1,400 for two hours.
For Couples Who Already Have an Elopement Planner
You've spent months on this. You know where you're standing and when the light hits it. Your planner has the timeline down to the half hour. The last thing you need is a photographer who arrives with opinions about all of it — pulling you off schedule, staging a first look you didn't ask for, turning your day into something that happens for the camera.
I don't direct. I don't rearrange. I show up where you tell me to be, and I document what actually happens.
A QUESTION I GET A LOT
Do You Only Take Full-Planning Elopement Couples?
That's the default, not the rule. Full planning is included in every elopement experience because most couples need it — permits, timelines, vendors, none of it obvious from three states away. But if that work is already done, paying for it twice makes no sense.
So this exists. Same approach, same care, same person behind the camera. Just the hours you actually need.

Longer days and additional locations are quoted individually. Tell me what your day looks like and I’ll price it against the actual plan.
THE PROCESS
How Photography-Only Coverage Works
01
Reach out
Send me your date, your location, and roughly how many hours you're thinking. If you have a timeline from your planner, send that too.
02
We get on a call
Twenty minutes. I want to understand what your day already looks like so I can work inside it instead of around it.
03
I fit into your plan
I confirm the hours, the locations, and where I'll be when. You don't have to adjust anything on your end.
04
Show up and get married
I'll already be there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about photography-only coverage.
-
Yes. If your planning is already handled, coverage starts at $1,400 for two hours in the Lake Tahoe area. Permits, timeline building, and vendor coordination aren't included at that rate, since you've already got them covered.
-
No. Two hours is enough for a ceremony and portraits if your locations are close together and your timeline is set. Most couples booking this way are doing exactly that.
-
Just send me a copy. I'll confirm what it allows — group size, location, time window — so nothing on the day runs into a restriction nobody checked.
-
Yes, if the date is still open on my end. Tell me as early as you can and I'll hold the extra time.
-
Yes. I work in Lake Tahoe and Yosemite, and photography-only coverage is available in both. Travel to Yosemite is quoted separately — send me your date and location and I'll put a number together.
-
Yes. Two to three rolls of 35mm film can be added for $300. Film slows the day down — every frame becomes deliberate — so tell me when you reach out and I'll build the hours around it rather than squeeze it in.
