elopements for couples who want to break free from tradition and create a wedding of their own

The way you choose to get married Not only represents who you are as a couple, but it will be the day you reflect on for a lifetime. So, don’t hold back on any regrets.

This is about making one day completely yours and I can’t wait to show you how to do it!

Eloping is the best way to get married because…

01. you Put your relationship first

If you’ve considered eloping then you are already on the road to putting your relationship first. Not all of us have good relationships with our families or you might not want them present for your “just us” elopement. Eloping gives you the option to choose what is best for your marriage.

02.you GET STRESS-FREE, QUALITY TIME TOGETHER

Because you aren’t on a strict timeline to appease the hundreds of guests, you’ll get to escape to the pure bliss feeling of quality time. I’ll help guide you to your day that allows the freedom to be spontaneous while still achieving gorgeous images.

03. it’s your day to celebrate however you want

Have I mentioned that it’s your one day to completely spoil your relationship and create a day of your own! Sleep in or hike a summit for sunrise. Make sandwiches together or enjoy a private catered meal. Do everything that feels right and know that no one has the right to a seat at your wedding.

Why All-Day Photos Are vital to your wedding Experience

You get to everything you wanted to and didn’t cut yourself short
You get explore + incorporate memorable activities into your day (not just ceremony and portraits)
You get to feel relaxed and present in the moment
you get to live your wedding all over through images
you have enough time to be spontaneous and stress-free

SO HERE’S WHAT YOUR ALL-DAY ELOPEMENT COVERAGE COULD LOOK LIKE:

8am – make breakfast together & get ready
10am – have a “first Look” at your air bnb
11am – drive to alpine lake and have your ceremony within the forest
2pm – enjoy a catered picnic with a private chef
4pm – canoe around the lake
6pm – sunset portraits and watch the sunset
8pm – head back to air bnb and enjoy a fire there

learn more about me

We had zero clue where to start or what to do but Sharlee made the entire process stress free

Communication prior to the big day was great. She really dug in and learned about us and what was important to us, what we loved, and what we wanted.She made our day fun and enjoyable and I will forever cherish the memories from that day!

Carmen + Brandon

Sharlee is fun and easy to connect with making us super comfortable at all times

She knows what she is doing, she is prepared in every way possible. Offering us hand warmers right off the bat on a cold windy morning. My Husband and I loved her so much we even had lunch with her during our down time!

Tara + Derek

Our experience with Sharlee was everything we could have hoped it to be, if not so much more.

She knew all the steps to take to make sure we could have photos at our ceremony in the location we wanted, including what permits were needed. She even made on-the-fly-adjustments to make sure we got the perfect photos when things didn’t go quite to our original plan.

WHAT COUPLES are saying –

“We couldn’t have imagined our elopement being any more magical and special than it was and we have to thank Sharlee for making all of our ideas come to life!

We had never been to Oregon before but knew that was where we wanted to get married, Sharlee was able to give us the best recommendations on lodging, activities, and locations for our special day!

My husband and I are both somewhat introverted people, however, Sharlee made us feel comfortable the moment we met her and it truly felt like we were best friends! – M + Z

Frequently Asked Questions

Although this all depends on what your elopement day looks like, if you are inviting guests – I don’t recommend any less than 8 hours. It’s definitely possible to do a 4 to 6 hour elopement with just the two of you but having all day coverage is extremely valuable! This ensures that you aren’t pressed chasing sunset or leave memories undocumented.

Absolutely NO PROBLEM! One of the services I offer is helping couples like you find the perfect place that fits their wants and needs.

If you have a particular area in mind, I will usually suggest the best time of year to go there.

Unless there is a national emergency or warning that will put our safety in danger, I do not reschedule for bad weather. I believe there isn’t bad weather, but bad gear and bad preparation.

Don’t worry if you don’t have experience in a particular season, location, or adventure – I’m here to help guide and educate you!

Your family and friends are definitely welcome – if that’s what you want! I am a huge family person and I can understand why you would want your loved ones there.

We will create the best option for you and your guests – whether that’s hiking all together, partying after your intimate ceremony, or reliving your day through images with them after your elopement.

Elopement does not equal hiking. Your elopement is whatever you damn well want it to be! I have created a customized guide for my booked clients that entails LOADS of options for your elopement activities, none of which have to be hiking.

All of my packages include my photography permit up to $200, wherever needed. You will need to obtain a permit for the ceremony, but I will help guide you through the process of getting one.

There are a few options on how to get legally hitched! You can 1) hire an officiant 2) have a family member/friend get ordained 3) I can perform the ceremony as a certified minister for the USA or 4) self solemnize in the States of Colorado, California, District of Columbia, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Although you will receive a detailed and extensive client guide with logistics, tips, and vendor/lodging recommendations – it will be up to you to make bookings!

Because I’m so passionate about elopements & small weddings, I do not offer wedding coverage for weddings that include 20 guests or more. If you consider more than 12 guests, a venue or campground space is highly recommended for this larger group size

I’m ready to do this thing!
