4:00 am: Yes it's the middle of the night--but it's your elopement day! Time to start hiking, headlamp style. I've got the extra coffee!
5:45 am: We've arrived at your perfect ceremony spot! Let's pull out the dress and suit we've packed so carefully, and get ready for your ceremony. It's not an adventure unless you have to change clothes behind a rock, right?
6:10 am: As the sun turns the peaks pink, you and your partner share an intimate, beautiful ceremony and make lifelong promises to each other.
6:30 am: Just enjoy. Soak up a beautiful morning and cozy up on the rocks, sipping coffee, eating a breakfast we packed, reading letters from loved ones, and drinking in the moments together.
8:00 am: Time to head back down the trail (with photo stops along the way, of course!)
9:30 am: Back at the trailhead, we'll head to some other accessible locations for some more portraits and a champagne toast!
11:00 am: We'll head to a local restaurant for your reception, where you're greeted by your family & friends. Time for brunch, lawn games, and lots of laughter and love.
12:00 pm: I'll meet you at your cute airBnB cabin in the woods for getting ready--hair, makeup...and brunch, of course. Traditions go out the window with elopements, so feel free to get ready together or separately!
1:00 pm: An intimate, special first look on the cabin porch, in a forest draped with moss and ferns. The dreamiest.
1:15-4:00 pm: Into the Redwoods we go for some exploring and photos. We'll find a private, beautiful spot for you to exchange your vows--just the two of you.
4:00 pm: Time for your official ceremony on the beach, with the waves crashing, the sun getting lower, and surrounded by your closest family and friends.
4:45 pm: We'll sneak off for a few more photos and some romantic quiet moments. I'll give you space and let you just soak it all in--you're married!
6:00 pm: Back at the cabin, we'll celebrate with dinner, a bonfire, and s'mores. Don't forget the twinkle lights for extra magic.
8:00 pm: Before we say goodbye, we'll grab some lanterns for some blue-hour photos and create a few more stunning, magical, ethereal images.
4:00 pm: We're in the beautiful mountain hidden-gem-of-a-town, Stanley, Idaho. We'll start with a romantic first look, with the Sawtooth mountain range providing the backdrop.
4:30 pm: We'll spend the next little while exploring this beautiful place and quaint little town, creating timeless images along the way.
6:00 pm: We've ended up at Redfish Lake, where we'll grab a few more photos and get ready for your ceremony.
6:30 pm: On the shores of one of the most picturesque lakes in the country, you'll have a sweet, intimate ceremony with a few close family and friends serving as witnesses.
7:00 pm: After a few family portraits, we'll head to the dock to meet the captain of our private pontoon boat - he's taking you (and your family and friends, if you want!) on a sunset appetizer cruise. Enjoy charcuterie and champagne and soak in the newlywed bliss as you watch in the sun dip low behind the jagged peaks of the Sawtooths. I'll be there too, capturing it all - the perfect, relaxing end to a beautiful day.
