Elopement & Small Wedding Pricing Guide
Everyone said eloping would be easy right? You have fewer guests or its just the two of you so there is less to plan, fewer decisions to make, shorter planning timelines. So why on earth does it feel so overwhelming? How do you find locations? What do you even do for a whole day? What kind of shoes is it okay to wear? What do people even do for an elopement ceremony? WHERE DO I START?! I got you! Don't feel like you need to figure out even one bit of your day alone- all you need to know is that you want to get married, I can help with the rest.
All of the customization, without the decision fatigue.
When you're alone with your person, it almost feels as though you get a version of them that no one else sees. So yeah, it probably does feel super weird to hire a stranger from the internet to be there to document such a huge and very personal moment. That's why I don't want to be a third wheel on your wedding day- I want to feel like a trusted person who respects what the two of you want, that you feel free to be yourselves around. I'll step back when appropriate (like giving you space during your vows) and be there with gentle direction when needed (so you don't have to wonder what to do with your hands).
Instead of your memories being full of having a camera in your face, you'll remember what it felt like to stand in the mountains with your person, to frolic through wildflowers, to stare at the yellow aspens. Everything documented, but never intrusive.
Let's skip the third wheel shall we?

"We are Stunned"
We just received our full gallery from our New Year’s Eve elopement, and are just stunned. Samantha did such an amazing job capturing our day, our families, and our love. We planned our wedding over approximately four weeks and Samantha was a godsend, helping us finalize our location, our amazing first look photos, and navigated the ice at our ceremony to deliver stunning pictures. I cannot say enough good things, definitely choose Samantha for your adventure. You won’t regret it!

"Trusted her from the first phone call"
I truly don’t know how to put into words how amazing Sam is. She was able to do both our engagement session in and our wedding day. We are from Massachusetts and Sam was AMAZING at helping up plan and coordinate locations for both days without us being there to scope out places…I trusted her from our first phone call. Even when I emailed her 3 days before our wedding day to change not only our ceremony location but a good portion of our timeline and our photo shoot located she was nothing but excited to help us! She was caring, passionate, calm, energetic, and kind…all things that were greatly appreciated during our special day. I feel like we made a new friend and not just a new photographer and I can’t wait to come back to CO and meet back up to take more pictures as our lives progress Thank you Sam from the bottom of our hearts..we are so grateful for you!
- Kellyn & Tylor
"A Welcome Addition"
Sam was AMAZING. She took our engagement and elopement photos and they turned out stunning! I had a hard time picking just a few to share.
She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed and was a welcome addition to our wedding day. My husband and I are both introverts and she just made all of our experiences fun and laid-back. It was clear that her top priority was that our day was about us and that we celebrated in the ways that we wanted.
Her professionalism and passion were clear from our first phone call and I cannot recommend her enough!

It still feels surreal that I now get to use all that mountain knowledge to do my favorite things- take photos, and help people create their dream wedding day. I fell into photography a little by accident, first picking up a camera because I wanted to take pictures of my dogs and I in the mountains. I wanted to try and do justice to the incredible places I was hiking to, and a phone just wasn’t cutting it. Then, my friend's boyfriend asked me to photograph their proposal. When I saw the joy that the images brought them, I knew that this was what I was meant to do. I love being able to document people in a way that makes them feel seen and special - that's not something we get enough of in our adult lives.
Elopement days are so personal- it's never lost on me what a big deal it is to be a part of them. I love being able to make small differences in a wedding day. Helping everyone feel comfortable, keeping track of time so you don't have to, helping people remember to breathe and be in the moment. Stepping in to put in veils, pin boutonnieres, carry things, be in charge of starting the music. Basically helping two people feel what its like to be rockstars- because your wedding IS all about you, and that is a GOOD thing.
