Elopements are about you and the love of your life celebrating each other in the most meaningful and beautiful way.

Your one day to fully and intentionally express your love for each other authentically, and to include things you wholeheartedly love and inspire you the most.
To start your forever together with one of the most amazing experiences of your life, you deserve that one day with no regrets.
A day you'll want to relive over and over again is almost here, and I'm here to help every step of the way.
"Choosing Karlie as our photographer was easily the BEST decision we made as part of our elopement. She is so much more than a photographer. She helps you every step of the way from your first phone call, up until the very end! Having her there on our elopement day felt more like having a close friend, than just some photographer we hired.
She thinks of all possible details, she communicates well and is organized. She has incredible talent and passion for photography! Please if you are wanting to elope, choose Karlie as your photographer, I promise it is something you will not regret! I could not say enough wonderful things about her."
-Rachel and Caleb
A Day that's Fully and Uniquely Yours - Embrace it Your Way
One of the best things about elopements and adventurous weddings is that nothing is a crazy idea. Wake surf at sunset? Heck yeah! Want to hike in your hiking gear and get your dress dirty? Why not? Want to explore a waterfall? Have a sunset picnic or take a helicopter ride to a mountain top! Anything to capture who you are, and what you love doing. The options are endless!
What All of This Means for You
A DAY CREATED WITH INTENTION
AN EFFORTLESS & STRESS-FREE DAY
GETTING PHOTOS OF A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE
Hey there, I'm Karlie
YOUR ELOPEMENT EXPERT & ADVENTURE BUDDY
When I hear my clients say, "I'm so glad we did this!" That's what you deserve for your wedding day. A smooth, stress-free experience without any second thoughts.
No matter what your idea of an adventure is, I'll be there with you every step of the way. Previous couples of mine have had me go ziplining with them, horseback riding at sunset, wading through thigh deep snow, and waking up at 3am for sunrise in the mountains…the options are endless for your dream elopement day experience!
You'll have my full support from the time that you inquire all the way through to the end. With my elopement planning experience for over 5 years now, I'm here to help you create your best day ever with ease.

The Elopement Experience with Karlie Larson Photography
I know that navigating planning an non-traditional wedding is filled with unknowns and might be a little scary, likely you haven’t had anyone set the example for you! But that’s exactly why I am here and why I do what I do.
As your elopement expert, I am here to provide you with communication and guidance throughout the entire process, and what you need and want is always my top priority, no matter what.
You are going to have the most incredible wedding ever, along with irreplaceable photos of an experience that you’ll treasure for the rest of your life.
What Makes Working with Me Unique
I HAVE BEEN DOING PHOTOGRAPHY FOR OVER HALF MY LIFE
It all started when I was just 13 years old. From photographing birds in the dumping snow in freezing temperatures to taking northern lights photos late at night, I’ve photographed in all the elements which has prepared me for working in the outdoors for your elopement.
I'M A BORN AND RAISED IDAHO LOCAL
As an Idaho local, I have an arsenal of scenic locations to share with you, along with the guidance and logistics to help guide you through the whole process, even if you’ve never been to Idaho before or if you’re coming from across the country to elope in this gorgeous gem state.
I'LL ONLY BOOK 15 COUPLES A YEAR
So I can truly put my full energy into each of my couples individually to give them the best experience possible. My couples and I also often become friends after we work together.
I'VE BEEN PHOTOGRAPHING WEDDINGS SINCE 2017
I originally started out photographing traditional weddings in 2017, and made the switch to elopements in 2021. Having 8 years in the wedding industry has given me a lot of hands on experience.

AND WHAT THESE SERVICES MEAN FOR YOU

-
UPDATED + RELEVANT PERMIT INFORMATION
Permits make your marriage legal at the specific location of your ceremony and they allow us to take stunning photos at breathtaking places. I'll help you navigate the process of acquiring the correct permits for the location of your elopement.

If you need help finding a place to stay relative to your elopement location, I can help you find the perfect place, anything from a rustic Airbnb in a forest or high-end resort lodging to fit your elopement vision and budget.

Whenever possible, I make sure to meet up with you both in person before your elopement day, so we can build that genuine, personal connection instead of having a stranger showing up to your most important day.

2 DAY WINDOW + BACKUP LOCATIONS FOR WEATHER FLEXIBILITY
Every elopement booked with me ensures you have a built in backup plan (or two, or three), along with a buffer of 2 extra days surrounding your elopement date in case of bad weather or emergencies. I will never leave you hanging without a photographer.

QUICK RESPONSES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS

5 Star Rated Client Reviews
Karlie captured our attention from the very beginning of our wedding planning - gut feelings are so telling! We had absolutely no idea where to even start on wedding planning. My now-husband came across her website which was instantly a breath of fresh air. Soon after we reached out to her, she scheduled an initial phone call and provided us with SO MANY resources to ensure our wedding day out west was smooth sailing! She checked in throughout our planning months - through text messages and phone calls - helping us solidify plans and establishing timelines for our big day. She was more than our photographer, she was a true resource with genuine intentions...If you are looking for a top-notch photographer as well as a *perfect and personalized* wedding day advocate - she is your girl!
- Jordyn & Sean
Working with Karlie was an absolute dream! From the very beginning, she took the time to truly understand the vision I had for my special day—and she brought it to life in the most beautiful way. Her patience, creativity, and professionalism were unmatched. Karlie went above and beyond, planning and scheduling every detail with me months in advance. She even scouted out the perfect locations for us...making sure every moment was exactly what I envisioned. Her thoughtful planning documents and organized approach helped make the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Thanks to her, our love story was captured in the most magical way. The photos we’ve seen so far are breathtaking, and I’m beyond excited to see the rest! I would recommend Karlie without hesitation and would choose her again a thousand times over. Thank you, Karlie, for your hard work, your heart, and for making us feel so special. We’re forever grateful!
- Kaylyn & Michael
From the planning phase until the day of our elopement, Karlie was so incredibly dedicated to helping us create our perfect day...she’s kind, thoughtful, professional, punctual, sincere, and curious. She asked so many questions about us as a couple and proposed many ideas that fell inline with those qualities and values. Throughout the whole process, she was so on top of researching locations, permits and responding to us in a timely manner always. We felt so grateful that we had chose her to shoot our wedding for many reasons, but one being that she put genuine love, focus, and energy into our elopement. It was so clear to both of us. The day was so meaningful in every way. It felt so calm and easy, which is what we wanted and why we chose to elope. Karlie worked so hard to make things easy and calm for us and we felt completely comfortable sharing this special day with her.

Wondering What You'd Even Do All Day?
DON'T WORRY, I PROMISE IT'S NOT AN ALL DAY PHOTO SHOOT
You truly deserve at least one full day to celebrate your marriage and relationship together, the way you want. As a day that disappears so quickly, you can make the most of this opportunity and go all out on the things that you love and cherish the most.
It can be the simple things to fill your day up with:
-
Enjoying your morning coffee together on the porch nestled in the quiet forest
-
Holding hands as you explore a hiking trail while listening to the birds chirping overhead
-
Ending the night with pizza and a glowing sunset under romantic string lights with your go-to playlist
The more time you allow yourselves to experience these things, the more stress-free and relaxed your day will be, I promise!

5 Star Rated Client Reviews
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!
- Kayla and Jace
Karlie helped me and my husband Derek start planning our elopement from the day I contacted her expressing interest in her services. The pictures on her website caught my eye, but her amazing help with organizing everything from vendors to the schedule of the day was really impressive. We were determined to get married by a lake and in February. She didn’t miss a beat. She came through with ideas that made our dream wedding come to life! How were the photos? Absolutely stunning. We did private vows practically knee deep in snow and she got some phenomenal picturesque shots that made us have a feeling of only the two of us in the whole world in uncharted territory. Karlie gave us a stress free (as possible) wedding day for Derek and me! Everyone in our elopement party is still talking about the amazing time we had 2 months later. Karlie gave us our dream wedding and the photos to remember it by! Thank you, Karlie, you will always be family to us!!
- Alicia and Derek
Karlie was such a pleasure to work with. She is extremely professional and yet personable at the same time. From our initial phone call when she wanted to get to know us as a couple and what we were looking for with our elopement, to the day itself, Karlie proved herself to be an expert in the industry that we could rely on. Karlie frequently checked in with me about personal details to make sure I had everything I wanted for our big day. She was great with suggestions and even has a client binder with local vendors, tips and more. Karlie sent cell phone pics the night of the elopement and our sneak peak album (50+ photos) within days! If you want someone who feels like a friend, is an expert and can capture your candid moments- look no further! Karlie is simply the best :)
