Asheville Elopements & Intimate Weddings

Your wedding day is a collection of moments—some planned, many unexpected, all meaningful. Whether you're exchanging vows on a mountaintop or celebrating with a small group of your closest people, it should feel intentional and entirely your own. I approach each wedding with a balance of observation and guidance—documenting what naturally unfolds while stepping in when needed to create space for connection, movement, and ease. So you can stay present, knowing every moment is being captured with care.

Wedding collections are fully custom, designed to meet the unique needs of each couple. I only take on a select number of weddings each year to ensure every couple receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Together, we craft a timeline that keeps the day relaxed and fun, capturing the big moments while also preserving all the small, candid ones in between. The experience is designed to feel effortless, joyful, and completely tailored to your celebration—so you can focus on enjoying the day while I capture it in a way that is timeless, heartfelt, and uniquely yours.

Let's Talk Price

I get it—you want to know what you’re looking at before you fill out a form or hop on a call. But here’s the thing: no two weddings are the same. A 200-person wedding with an 18-person wedding party is a very different day from an intimate backyard wedding or a just-us-and-the-mountains elopement. That’s why I like to start with a quick inquiry form and a short call. It gives me a chance to hear what you’re dreaming up, learn what matters most to you, and build something that actually fits your day. As a baseline, elopements typically start around $1,500, and weddings start around $3,000. Final pricing varies depending on the size of your celebration, hours of coverage, location, and what you need from me. Not sure where your day falls? Reach out anyway. I’d genuinely love to hear what you’re planning and see how we can make it work.

Questions & Answers

What is your photography style?

My approach is a blend of candid, documentary storytelling and thoughtfully guided portraits. The focus is on real moments, genuine emotion, and images that feel natural and timeless—not overly posed or trendy. The goal is for your photos to feel just as meaningful years from now as they do today.

How do we get started and see if we’re a good fit?

It all starts with an introductory phone call. This is a chance to connect, talk through your vision, and make sure we’re aligned. We’ll discuss what matters most to you, any ideas you already have, and what you’re hoping your wedding photos will feel like. Finding the right photographer is about connection, and this call helps ensure you feel comfortable and excited moving forward.

How does booking work?

After our call, if we decide we’re a great match, I’ll send over an online proposal that includes your custom contract, invoice, and payment schedule. Everything is handled online for ease. A 25% deposit officially secures your date, and the remaining balance is broken into scheduled payments.

Do you offer custom elopement & wedding packages?

Yes—every elopement & wedding collection is custom-built based on your needs, timeline, and vision. I take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every couple receives a high level of care, attention, and flexibility throughout the planning process.

How do I pay? What payment methods do you except?

An invoice will be sent to you along with your contract. You can pay your deposit or for your total session via the invoice which offers bank deposit or credit card options as well as a payment schedule. Payment plans are also available so you can pay either all at once or incrementally leading up to the big day.

Do we sign a contract?

Yes. A signed contract is required to officially book your date. The contract outlines all the details of your coverage, payment schedule, and what you can expect from start to finish, so everything is clear and transparent. The contract is included in your online proposal and can be reviewed and signed digitally for convenience.

Will you help us with our elopement & wedding day timeline?

Absolutely. Timeline planning is a big part of the experience. I help craft a photography-friendly timeline that keeps the day relaxed, realistic, and fun—while making sure there’s space for both the big moments and the candid ones in between.

How do you prepare before the elopement & wedding day?

Leading up to the elopement & wedding, you’ll receive a few questionnaires to help keep everything organized, including a wedding day questionnaire and a family photo list. About two weeks before the wedding, we’ll check in to review final details and make sure everything is set for a smooth day.

What can we expect on the elopement & wedding day?

On the elopement & wedding day, my focus is on documenting your celebration as it naturally unfolds. I’ll blend into the background while staying attentive to meaningful moments, emotions, and interactions. When needed, I’ll offer calm guidance to keep things flowing—so you can stay present and enjoy the day.

When and how will we receive our photos?

Once your images are fully edited, you’ll receive an online gallery with hundreds of photos. From there, you can download your images, share them with friends and family, post to social media, and order prints. You’ll receive a PIN code for easy access—and I always recommend opening a bottle of wine and reliving the day together.
