One Step Closer to Unleash Your Elopement

customized elopement photo packages for couples letting go of the traditional leash

What Defines an Elopement?

An elopement is a premeditated decision that you have made as a couple – to let go of what others think and create an adventure for yourself. An elopement is more than saying your vows somewhere pretty and taking photos. It’s one special day where you both can make the day entirely yours.

And if you choose to celebrate with some of your closest family and friends, we’ll welcome any elopement guests (20 guests max) as long as they support your couple-centered wedding day!

An elopement is your most meaningful day yet. Make it a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Eloping Gives You the Freedom of Choice

Not one relationship is alike, so why should you get married the same way? You deserve to know that your elopement doesn’t fit into a cookie cutter and that you have unlimited freedom to choose every aspect of your wedding day.

From the guests you invite, the shoes you wear, to the location of where you say “I do” – you’ll get to choose every aspect of your day freely with an elopement expert on your side.

ALL-DAY ELOPEMENT PHOTOS MATTER

Just because you’ve decided to have an intimate wedding experience, doesn’t mean your wedding is any less real. Big weddings get 8-10 hours of photo coverage, so why shouldn’t yours?

Eloping isn’t just about running to the local courthouse for a quick hitch and a few photos. This is your one day to be true to yourselves and make it an experience you won’t forget!

Photos are incredibly special pieces of our lives that we can look back and reflect on. Sometimes, we can even feel those special moments. So don’t cut yourself short here.

Your elopement day should be captured in its total fullness so you can cherish the memories for a lifetime and I can’t wait to show you that!

Your wedding day goes by faster than you think.

WHAT YOUR ALL-DAY ELOPEMENT COULD LOOK LIKE

  • Exchanging your vows on an epic mountain top, then celebrating by having a BBQ with family at a beautiful cabin
  • Kayaking on the bluest lake you’ve ever seen, then watching the sunset together with your dogs around the campfire
  • Sleeping in to make your favorite waffles and coffee, then taking the day to road trip to multiple locations to enjoy

what couples said

“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! Our elopement was planned quite last minute with only two months before the day but her communication and planning throughout the whole process was amazing and prompt!

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! She was able to capture the best day of our lives from morning adventures at the river, getting ready together, our ceremony in the Redwoods, playing in tide pools, watching the sunset, our first dance in the headlights, toasting to the start of our new life together, and stargazing!

We cried, laughed, and enjoyed every single moment that she captured! She even created beautiful effects with the photos and made GIFs that gave us little glimpses of our day in action! The adventures and memories that we created that day will be cherished forever and Sharlee was able to capture our day so beautifully! We are forever thankful to Sharlee and cannot recommend her highly enough for your elopement!”

Sharlee did an amazing job with navigating the weather

“She turned our bad weather wedding photos to an amazing unique weather wedding photo experience. Additionally, her communication was excellent. Texting and calling back and replying promptly was exquisite. Very cheerful, optimistic and easy-going despite the gloomy weather. She did an amazing job holding a conversation with our parents to keep them fully engaged since we had to hike to our destination. The photos that were taken undoubtedly captured the theme and our day. Remembering each photo elicits an emotional memory. The images that we received were just amazing and precious to us. We appreciate Sharlee’s attitude and bubbly personality.”

“Sharlee took the most beautiful photos of me and my wife. She was incredibly respectful the whole way through in giving us intimate moments so that the photos could be more real. She also was just a blast to be around. She made hiking so much fun and she was so prepared with everything whether we need it a mat to go underneath us so we could sit on wet things, or the candy bars she brought and shared, to the time she let her dog drink from her water bottle cap. If you want great photos and incredible memory that goes with it I can’t strongly enough recommend Sharlee is your girl.”

because our pets are more than just animals – they’re family

Want to include your pets?

Growing up, my childhood always included animals. Whether that was obsessing over wild life, or sneaking in pets to my home – animals have brought such a special joy to my life. I know your pets mean the same to you!

With a strong background in pet experience, as I still serve as a Certified Veterinary Technician- your pets are always welcome for your elopement day if you so choose.

There’s so many options that can fit your fur babies perfectly into your elopement day, even if they won’t be physically present. Just let me know if you want them to tag along and we’ll create a fun and safe experience for you all.

Frequently Asked Questions

Although this all depends on what your elopement day looks like, I don’t recommend any less than 8 hours. 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 and small weddings, I do not offer wedding coverage for weddings that include 30 guests or more.
