Create A Wedding Experience That Feels Like You

… And forget about what’s expected of you. Because when it comes down to it, it doesn’t really matter. What matters is your happiness, your vision, and your memories. So if you’re tired of attending the same wedding over and over again, and want yours to look completely different, here’s the good news: we’re already on board.

When you work with me, I’ll not only help you plan an outside-the-box wedding–I’ll encourage you to dream bigger, prioritize yourselves, and design a day that looks like whatever you want.

Experience Creation

All humans are our humans, and love should be celebrated–no matter what it may look like. We’re excited to document your love, and more importantly, we’ll make sure that you feel safe, comfortable, and crazy confident on your best day.

01.

A Backup Plan for the Backup Plan

We put *a lot* of thought into each and every elopement, so we’re confident in saying that we’ve got a plan for any scenario. With our elopement expertise and knowledge of the wilderness, we’ll be able to navigate challenges like inclement weather and anticipate anything you might need.

02.

Actvity Ideation

I want you to have an epic elopement, so I’ll help you dream up exactly what that will look like. Once we’ve decided on your vision, I’ll help you choose the activities that’ll make your day feel like you. With hikes, picnics, boat rides, and more in our activity arsenal, we’ll build a schedule that will allow you to relax and plan for anything that may come our way.

03.

Wilderness First Aid Certified

I love to work and play in the great outdoors so to do that in the safest way possible, I’m wilderness first aid certified. I’ve practiced skills and scenarios that are applicable to what we could encounter in the wild, so I’m prepared to offer you support when needed. That means I’ve got your back–no matter what.

Ordained Officiant

Amazing news–I’m an ordained officiant–meaning I’m able to offer you a unique elopement experience in total seclusion (if that’s what you’re looking for!). I can sign your marriage papers and make things officially official–fo’ free (in most states).

05.

Album Creation

We wholeheartedly believe that your photos deserve a life outside of your computer screen. To give you tangible keepsakes that you can visit over and over again, we offer custom album creation. We’ll collaborate to design a unique wedding album that tells your story and helps you relive your favorite moments every time you flip through the pages. And bonus–we even offer packages that include album credits!

We can't wait to document your day

Elopements

Are you sure that you want to ditch the big, traditional wedding, but don’t know where to start? An elopement sounds like the perfect fit, and will allow you to create your perfect day from start to finish. We’ll throw the rule book out the window, and figure out what feels good. With so many activities and timeline options to choose from, you’ll end up with an intimate, just-for-you elopement that will be the experience of a lifetime.

Inclusions:

NH & Acadia: Starting at $6800

With a little adventure added in, you’ll have a fun-filled day while still being able to live it up with the people you love most in this world

Please note: These sessions open up 3 months in advance. Lifestyle sessions cannot be used for elopements or vow renewals.

Frequently asked questions

Do you travel? What are the fees?

Yes! While we’re based in New Hampshire, there’s nothing more that we love than documenting others’ adventures. Kels has traveled to over 38 countries and 31 states, so she’s experienced in the travel industry. Because of this, all travel is included in all of our packages – one less thing you need to worry about!

Yes! It is absolutely possible. We love it when family and friends are present! We capture weddings up to 50 guests. The more guests, the more logistics, which is why we just need to know a number to make sure we can collaborate with you on location. 

We do not! We specialize in elopements and intimate weddings (anything under 50 guests) and are no longer taking on larger-scale weddings. There are some incredible traditional wedding photographers out there who can give you beautiful photos.

Not at all! Every single couple is different with various interests, passions, and things they enjoy doing together. You can incorporate absolutely anything you want on your wedding day (or nothing at all!). We help you create a stress-free day that feels true to you.

Do we also need a wedding planner?

If you’re looking for full-service planning, we recommend a wedding planner. The planning we do is in terms of finding an outdoor location, vendor recommendations, and guidance in forming your perfect day. A true planner will take all the planning off your plate so you don’t have to do a thing! We can recommend some awesome planners and even have a day-of coordinator on my team that you can add to your package.

No, reach out ASAP! We actually use our consults as more of a “brainstorming” session if you need it. We are open books and want to make this process seamless and fun for you. So on our calls, ask questions, gain clarity, and get inspiration. We are non-traditional wedding experts, and one of our big passions is helping our couples build their dream days.

We typically open our calendars in April for the following year, meaning we book between 12-18 months out. The most popular months we book are June, September and October; those generally book up the quickest. So if you are looking for those, we highly recommend trying to book at least 9 months in advance.

Our number one goal is to not make your day feel like a photoshoot. We put a ton of effort into building a relationship with you and making you feel comfortable, so you can simply be yourselves. We spend about 20 minutes the entire day doing “posed” photos because that’s all we need. Other than that, we simply document. We document the day as it unfolds, to tell the story of the scenery, the weather, and the feelings – rather than us creating moments. If you don’t want your day to feel like a photoshoot, then we’ve got you.
