Eloping isn’t about running away or keeping it a secret. It’s about choosing what feels honest and true to you, without trying to please anyone but yourselves.


You can keep it simple or make it a little extra. Say your vows in a place that means something, explore somewhere you love, grab your favorite food, hang out, laugh, cry, or dance in your wedding clothes. Whatever feels right. And I’ll be there for all of it. Not just to take photos, but to help plan the experience too. I’ll help you find the perfect spot, build a timeline that flows, and throw out ideas that actually feel like you.

MORE THAN A PHOTOGRAPHER

Storyteller. Guide. Coordinator. Dress fluffer. Light seeker. Experience shaper.

I believe in elopements because I’ve lived one myself, and I know how powerful it is to choose a day that’s truly yours. It’s not about skipping traditions just for the sake of it. It’s about honoring your story in a way that actually feels right. Letting go of pressure. Making space for connection. Creating something calm, intentional, and real.


Basically, the good stuff. The real stuff. The stuff you’ll actually want to remember.


I’m not just here to take pretty pictures. I’m here to help shape the whole experience with care and heart. From the first idea to the final image, I’ll be there to guide you through it all. I’ll help you figure out what your dream elopement looks and feels like. And yep, I’ll happily spill all the elopement tea if you want it.


Hopefully, by the end of it, you’ll have more than just photos you love. You’ll walk away with memories that feel true to you and maybe even a new friend who just gets it.

We had an amazing experience with Stefani! She is very professional, friendly, and kind, which made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She really knows what she’s doing — from helping us with natural poses to capturing the most perfect moments. She also helped us choose the location for our elopement, making our special day feel truly unique and memorable. We couldn’t be happier with the photos and the entire experience. She’s simply wonderful!

FAQ

 

Where are you located?

I'm based at Northern Virginia in Arlington County ( a couple minutes from D.C.) but I work with couples all over Virginia, D.C. and Maryland.

Do you travel? if so, are travel costs covered in packages?

At the moment, I only work with couples who wish to elope or get married around the DMV and the travel fees are already included.

What is the difference between elopements and micro weddings?

Elopements are usually done just between the couple or if they decide to have guests, it's a small group up to 20 people. The planning process is much more relaxed and they have more flexibility to choose a location and activities throughout the day. Micro weddings have about 50 guests and involve a little more planning and vendors, especially catering.

Do you offer any support on choosing packages and planning?

I sure do! Once you fill out the contact form, we will schedule a consultation call and I will help you to choose the best option for your elopement or micro wedding and once you're booked, we will go over planning and building a timeline that is a perfect match for you!

What if we don’t like being in front of the camera?

You’re not alone! I’ll guide you gently, keep things relaxed, and focus on your connection instead of stiff poses. By the end, you’ll forget the camera is even there and you might just have fun, I promise.

Do you help with location scouting and permits?

Yes! Whether you're dreaming of a mountaintop or city corner I’ll help you find the perfect spot and make sure all the logistics (like permits) are taken care of.

We’re not outdoorsy people. Can we still elope?

Totally! Eloping is about creating a day that reflects you. That could mean a city rooftop, a cozy Airbnb, a local park, or even a backyard ceremony followed by tacos. I’ll help you make it feel special, whatever the setting.

Do we have to hike to have mountain views?

Not really! There are many spots that don't require hiking and still can have amazing mountain views. There are also some short hikes for those who want to live the experience but don't want to be out in the woods for too long. Whatever you have in mind, we can definitely find the best spot for you.
