A day planned around you and your own interests - not anyone else's

Let eloping be the opportunity for you to create a day that you'll want to relive again and again, and to plan an unforgettable experience to allow time for the things you truly love.

 

That could be spending the day just the two of you in the outdoors on a hike in the mountains or a relaxed day spent exploring a national park with a small group of your friends and family.

 

No matter what your idea of an adventure is, I'll be there to help you plan your dream day every step of the way.

What this means for you:

When you choose to elope, you open up a whole new door of possibilities now that you don't have to stick to the standard of traditional weddings.

​

It's about freedom to choose what you want for your one special day. Wanna hike to the top of a mountain for private vows that only the two of you can hear? Wanna cross off a location or experience off your bucket list? The options are endless!

Photos that help you relive your day

​

My approach to documenting your day is capturing all of the main moments along with everything in between. I'll be capturing everything in a documentary way, from the way you lace up your hiking boots with your wedding dress to saying heartfelt vows to each other, to celebrating with smores by a fire at the end of the night. You'll have the freedom to enjoy your day without worrying about smiling and posing for photos, it will all come naturally.

What's it like to elope with Karlie?

"We just eloped in May and Karlie was our photographer again. She did such an incredible job making sure we had everything we needed for the day. She encouraged us to just enjoy the day and not worry about any stress. She helped us plan different activities to do and incorporate things we enjoy like fishing.

 

Karlie was absolutely fantastic and got all the photos we could have hoped for. She was all in for our crazy adventure of doing our ceremony in the middle of the woods, to driving to another location to fish and have a picnic, then joining us to have a small reception with our family and friends. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to make our day so special!"
