Eloping means that your day can be whatever you want it to be. If you want to…
- Hike to the top of a volcano in Hawaii and say your vows as the sun sets over the ocean
- Rent out a beachfront Airbnb with your closest family and friends
- Go snorkeling in your wedding attire
- Stroll through your favorite botanical garden
- Hike to the best secret beach in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula
- Spend the night food truck hopping in Hawaii
- Get matching tattoos
…you can! The possibilities for your elopement are truly endless. One of the best things about choosing to elope is that your day is exactly what you want it to be!
If all of the possibilities feel overwhelming, don’t worry - you're in the right place.
So, a big wedding isn't for you...
I’ll be here for you every step of the way as we create the elopement day of your dreams.
Hi, I'm Brittany!
Meet my partner in everything!
I’m a travel lover, dog and cat mom, and tattoo enthusiast!
I’ve been a photographer for over 10 years, and I truly feel like the luckiest person in the world to be able to combine my love for photography, nature, and capturing love through elopement and couples photography.
I became an elopement photographer because I truly believe it’s the best way to get married. My partner and I chose an intimate wedding because it was authentic and true to us, and it was the best decision we could have made.
And I want the same for you: so you can look back on your wedding day as the best day of your lives spent with your favorite person in the world.
At the end of the day, most photographers can deliver great photos. But I want so much more than that for you. The experience of your elopement day is my #1 priority, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure you have the best day.
Forget about the expectations of what your day “should” be - we’ll work together to create a beautiful day that is true to who you are.
If you aren’t sure what the first step is in planning your elopement, don’t worry - that’s what I’m here for!
I’ll be your photographer, your guide, your cheerleader, and your friend on the best day of your life!
Jake is my husband and my business partner! He helps me with a ton of work behind-the-scenes, and also works as my second shooter, drone pilot, and assistant on elopement days. If you hire me for your day, he’ll be with us too, capturing photos from a different perspective, flying the drone, and helping us out by carrying bags or anything else we need. He is truly amazing, and I feel so lucky to spend every day with him!
“There isn’t enough good stuff that I can say about Brittany and Jake… If I could give 6 stars, I would!
Brittany, along with her husband Jake, made sure to capture each moment and the emotions just as we would have hoped! My wife is shy and hates being the center of attention, so naturally getting married, even in front of close friends and family, was unsettling as she doesn’t like having her picture taken. None of this proved to be a challenge for Brittany as her and Jake just let things flow naturally, gave guidance when it was needed or when they saw a shot through their eyes, and magically disappear so you never even knew they were there capturing those little moments when you think no one is watching. The ones so packed with emotion that you can really feel every ounce of love, caring, and passion you share with each other... all able to be felt through the photos Brittany and Jake were able to capture.
If there was anything at all we did right during this special occasion, it was having Brittany and Jake be there to capture these moments!”
- Chris & Renee
The experience of your elopement day is my #1 priority.
In addition to capturing all of the best moments of your incredible day, I'll also help you with…
- Finding the perfect location for your day
- Dreaming up and planning your perfect elopement day
- Securing all of the necessary photography permits, and sending you all the information you need if you’re required to apply for a permit
- Recommending great local vendors such as a florist, hair and makeup artist, bakery, and more!
- Putting together a stress-free timeline for your day
- Recommendations for activities to do while you’re in the area
- Anything you need on your elopement day to make sure you’re both relaxed and stress-free
I’m here to make sure that you have the absolute best day. Everything from planning, answering questions, carrying your bags, helping you feel relaxed, and making sure you’re able to truly focus on the day.
The Elopement Experience
I don’t see myself as your vendor and you as my client - I truly see us as friends, and I care so deeply about you having the best experience on your elopement day.
No one wants to wait weeks to see their wedding photos, and sharing a selfie from your epic elopement day doesn’t feel like the right way to announce your marriage. But don’t worry, I’ve got you!
You will get 20+ images within 24 hours of your elopement to share with family and friends, set as your background, and relive the best day of your life.
Plus, I deliver sneak peeks within 24 hours of your elopement!
"What an incredible experience from start to finish.
Brittany helped us bring our ideas to life in such a beautiful way. Her process in planning is very thoughtful with everything geared toward making things easy and relaxed for her clients. She had so many great options for our day and took the time to get to know us, honing in on what could make sense for April and me. Her responsiveness made us feel so well taken care of and let us know how much of a priority our day was to her.
The plan we landed on was perfect. It was such a lovely experience for April and me (and our dog Hazel) and memories we'll have forever.
And after all that, our pictures are absolutely amazing! We got sneak peeks VERY quickly (the next day!) and everyone we've shown them to thinks they were ripped from a magazine!
We HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Brittany and Jake to anyone looking for a totally unique experience, the highest level of care for your day, and magazine quality pictures capturing it all!”
- April & Ryan
The Unposed Experience
I’m not the kind of photographer who’s going to be posing you the entire day. I’ll be stepping back, melting into the background, and letting you enjoy every second of your elopement day. I’ll be there to give direction when needed to make sure we get incredible shots, to help you out with anything you need, and to be a fun and calming presence to take along on your adventure.
After all, this day is about you enjoying the hell out of every second. And I’ll be there to make sure that happens.
If you’re looking for a photographer to show up and only capture the typical, posed, smiling at the camera photos, then we might not be the best fit, because I'll capture so much more than that. I will document you two as you truly are, completely in love and enjoying your incredible day. The way you look at each other when no one is around, the way you hold each other, the way you laugh at your inside jokes, and the way you feel.
Your love is worth being captured in a way that will bring back all of your feelings of this day.
I'll capture more than beautiful photos for you. Life moves and changes quickly, and I'll capture this moment in time. When you look back on these photos for decades to come, you'll be able to feel the love you feel for each other right now. I want these photos to be meaningful to you. I want them to show who you are. So let's capture the hair in your face, dirt on your dress, bare feet on the beach, the big laughs, and all the little moments that tell the story of your day.

"Brittany and Jake made the entire experience fun and stress-free...
Brittany and her husband Jake were absolutely incredible and made our elopement better than we could’ve ever imagined!
Right from the start Brittany made us feel completely at ease. She explained the process and answered any questions we had, and helped us narrow down every little detail about the day. We were so overwhelmed and had no idea where to start, but once we connected with Brittany, things just started to fall into place. She provided so many great resources and guides that helped us get on track.
When we finally met Brittany and Jake, it truly felt like we were just hanging out with our friends! They were an absolute blast to spend time with. My husband (omg, I can finally say that!) and I usually feel super awkward in front of a camera, but Brittany and Jake made us feel so comfortable and calm the entire day and it 100% showed in the photos.
We received our sneak peaks so quickly and were absolutely BLOWN AWAY. We can actually SEE our love radiating from the photos! Brittany and Jake captured our goofy personalities perfectly and made the entire experience fun and stress free.
Working with Brittany was the absolute best decision we could’ve made. We’ll cherish this experience for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much for everything, Brittany and Jake!!!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can we bring a few friends and/or family to our elopement?
Of course! One of the best things about choosing to elope is that your day gets to be exactly what you want. I photograph elopements and intimate weddings with less than 30 guests.
What if it rains on the day of our wedding?
If you embrace the weather and make it part of your day, it can tell a really beautiful story. And photos in the rain are some of my absolute favorites! But I am always ready to change to a backup plan if the weather keeps us from our original plan. No matter what curve balls may happen the day of your wedding, I will be there every step of the way to ensure you still have the day of your dreams!
Can you photograph outside of your typical locations?
Absolutely! My travel schedule changes throughout the year, and I am always adding new locations. Contact me to discuss your dream location!
What if we are awkward and/or shy? Will our photos still look good?
100% yes! I have never worked with a couple who isn't nervous or shy in front of the camera at first - it is completely normal! I will help you feel more comfortable with the camera, so you have nothing to worry about. My entire approach to photographing couples is to capture you two as you truly are. I will give you some prompts and direction, but my goal is to document the day and to give you the freedom and space to be authentically you.
Can we bring our dog(s) to our elopement?
YES, please! As long as dogs are permitted in the location you choose, I’d love to have your dogs accompany us on your special day!
Can you photoshop us?
I strongly believe in loving and embracing the body you have, so I do not alter anyone’s body when editing. However, I am able to remove anything temporary such as acne, scratches, bruises, etc.
How many hours of photo coverage do we need?
This is a great question, and it's one of the first things we'll discuss! After you contact me, we'll chat over the phone and determine how many hours of photo coverage are best for you. If you decide later that you'd like more photo coverage, you can always add more hours during the planning process!
Can you photograph our vow renewal?
I would love to! Any of my elopement packages can be used for vow renewals.
Your wedding day should be the best day of your life.
The next step is to reach out to me, I’ll send over my full pricing guide, and we’ll jump on a call to chat more about your vision for your elopement day.
I’m so excited to help you put together the day of your dreams!
