capturing stories across D.C,Virginia & Maryland.
let's ditch the rules and write your own adventure.
Your big day shouldn't be about checking boxes, pleasing other people, or rushing through something that's supposed to matter. And it definitely doesn't have to be a smaller, boring version. Eloping is about doing things your way, in a place that feels like a dream to you. That can be out in nature or just around a city corner. You don't need to break the bank or lose your peace to make it special.
YOU DON'T NEED TO HAVE ELVIS AS YOUR OFFICIANT.
AND YOU DEFINITELY DON'T NEED TO HIKE 5 MILES AT NOON.
Unless you actually want to. Eloping simply means doing something that feels right for you. It can be just the two of you or a handful of your favorite people. It's about creating a day you’ll actually enjoy without all the pressure and overplanning.
Every Elopement Looks Different and That's the Best Part.
Here are some examples of what your elopement can look like:
Urban & artful
For couples who feel at home in the city. This could mean cool museums, your favorite bar or gallery, or just walking around spots you love. We’ll use the energy of the place to make it fun, relaxed, and totally you.
Quiet & scenic
If nature is your happy place, this one’s for you. This could look like a short walk to your favorite lookout, reading your vows somewhere with trees, water, or mountains around. Nature sets the vibe so we’ll keep it simple and meaningful.
Casual & cozy
This one is for the “let’s keep it easy” kind of couples. Maybe you say your vows in the backyard, hit up your favorite brunch spot, and head out for a low-key adventure. It’s about comfort, without the fuss.
something in between
You don’t have to hike a mountain or go to city hall to make it count. Your day can be a mix of everything you love: start the day just the two of you, have a meaningful ceremony, do a little exploring, and maybe grab dinner with your people after. It’s your day so build it your way.

GUIDE, STORYTELLER & PHOTOGRAPHER.
I'm a Brazilian gal currently based in Northern Virginia, bouncing around D.C. and Maryland, guiding couples from the city to nature and helping them have the best time on their elopement adventure.
I've been telling genuine stories since 2014, and as an eloping bride myself, I know how important it is to feel supported and free to do things your way. I'm all in for building an experience that is intentional, fun, and all about you!
"Ahh, what can I say about my favorite photographer!!!
I've already done 3 beautiful shoots with her, one photo more beautiful than the other and they always become my screensaver for everything, cell phone, computer, iPad!!! Her work is incredible, she's always super patient, helps with every pose... gives tips on what to do as it's very common for us to be shy in front of the camera. Besides that, the way she delivers the photos shows love in every detail, beautiful details by the way. I highly recommend having your photos with her 🥰 she's the best!"
