Handcrafted Elopement Experiences
For the Ones at Home Under Open Skies
Elopement Photography, Designed as an Experience
Your elopement isn’t just a photo session — it’s a day shaped by intention, connection, and the places that matter most to you.
My role goes far beyond documenting it. I help you design an experience that feels grounded, unhurried, and deeply personal, so you can stay present while everything unfolds naturally.
Full-service elopement planning + photography
Location-specific expertise across public lands
Calm, guided timelines that protect intimacy
I work with couples who want their elopement to feel intentional — not rushed, not staged, and not reduced to a checklist. Every experience is planned with care, flexibility, and respect for the places we’re in.
Because It’s About More Than Photos
Thoughtful Location Guidance
Locations are chosen with intention — considering light, access, privacy, and how a space feels, not just how it looks.
Intentional Image Delivery
You’ll receive a thoughtfully curated, private gallery that tells the full story of your day — with the freedom to relive, share, and print your images in ways that feel meaningful to you.
Experience-First Planning
From permits to timelines, I guide you through the logistics so your day flows naturally and stays centered on connection.
Travel, Handled Simply
Travel planning is built into your experience, so there are no surprise fees or last-minute logistics to manage on your end.
Presence Over Performance
I step in when guidance is needed and step back when moments deserve to unfold quietly, without interruption.
Elevated Extras, When It Fits
From quick sneak peeks to officiation or drone coverage where permitted, these elements are thoughtfully incorporated when they genuinely support the experience — never forced.
Every element of your elopement is approached with intention — nothing added just to fill space, nothing overlooked.
This is more than photography coverage —
it’s a guided experience designed to carry the planning, logistics, and flow of your day.
Because this experience includes hands-on planning support, location expertise, permit guidance, timeline design, and backup planning, my collections are best suited for couples who are ready to invest in a fully guided elopement experience rather than photography alone.
This approach allows my couples to stay present and grounded on their day, knowing the logistics, locations, and flow have been thoughtfully handled well in advance.

What My Couples Have Said
My husband and I found Bethany by chance and thank god we did! At this point, she’s basically our family photographer. Between taking our engagements, our wedding photos, and now our maternity photos, Bethany has watched us grow up and has captured every moment perfectly. We love that she encourages silly and candid photos. Perfect experience every session!
Going Abroad?
Custom international elopements thoughtfully planned and documented with care.
Eloping abroad is about more than choosing a beautiful destination — it’s about understanding what’s realistically possible, navigating logistics with care, and having someone guide you through the process without overwhelm.
I work with couples who are drawn to meaningful, cinematic locations outside the U.S. and want an experience that feels grounded, intentional, and well-considered — not rushed or improvised. Every international elopement is approached as a custom experience, planned slowly and deliberately with respect for local regulations, cultural considerations, and travel realities.
Starting at $10,000 USD
International Elopements Include:
Full-day or multi-day coverage depending on destination and travel needs
Location guidance based on accessibility, light, privacy, and regional regulations
Timeline planning that accounts for travel days, jet lag, and seasonal conditions
Guidance around permits, legal requirements, or symbolic ceremonies (where applicable)
A thoughtfully curated, private online gallery with full print rights
Optional drone coverage where legally permitted and appropriate
If you’re just beginning to explore the idea of eloping abroad, these guides are a helpful place to start:
Engagements, Anniversaries, or Just Because
For moments that deserve to be remembered — without needing a wedding day.
Not every meaningful season needs a timeline, a guest list, or a formal reason. These sessions are designed for couples who want to celebrate connection — whether you’re newly engaged, honoring an anniversary, or simply choosing to document this chapter as it is.
The approach is the same one I bring to elopements: calm guidance, thoughtful locations, and space to be yourselves without performance or pressure. Sessions are intentionally paced and rooted in place, allowing moments to unfold naturally rather than being overly posed or rushed.
These experiences are ideal for couples who value authenticity, movement, and images that feel like a true reflection of their relationship — not a production.
Starting at $750 USD
Sessions Include:
Location guidance tailored to your vision, accessibility, and desired atmosphere
A relaxed, experience-first approach with gentle direction as needed
Time for movement, connection, and natural moments
A thoughtfully curated, private online gallery with full print rights
Optional drone coverage add-on where legally permitted and appropriate
