FAQ
A few questions I hear a lot.
Do I need to know exactly where I want to elope before reaching out?
Not at all. Most couples have a general feeling — "somewhere wild," "near water," "golden and warm." That's enough. We'll figure out the specifics together.
Do you travel to all four locations?
Yes. Tahoe, Yosemite, Sedona, and the Oregon Coast are locations I know well and photograph regularly. Travel fees may apply depending on your date and location.
Can you help with permits?
Yes — permit research and guidance is included in every elopement package. Yosemite requires an NPS Special Use Permit ($150 fee, paid separately); I'll walk you through the process.
What if we're awkward in front of cameras?
Everyone says this. Genuinely — everyone. My job is to guide you through moments that feel natural, not to direct a photoshoot. By the time your ceremony starts, you'll have forgotten I'm there.
