Elopement Photoshoot
Washington DC, Maryland & Northern Virginia
An elopement isn't a compromise — it's a deliberate choice to celebrate on your own terms, with just the two of you and no outside noise. I offer intimate elopement sessions at outdoor locations across Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia. DC is one of the most stunning elopement destinations in the country — iconic architecture and extraordinary light at sunrise. If you're planning a day for just the two of you, let's talk.
Every elopement I take on starts with a conversation — tell me your vision and we'll figure out together whether I'm the right fit for your day. Inquire for pricing!
Every elopement is different!

What You Are Actually Investing In
When you book a session with me, you're not just paying for an hour of photographing at a location. Your investment covers the full process — from your first message to the moment your gallery lands in your inbox.
Before your session:
We'll connect to nail down location, timing, and what to wear. I research lighting conditions, scout spots in advance, and show up ready — so we're making photos from the first minute, not figuring things out on the fly.
My camera and equipment:
Every portrait and couples session in the DMV is shot on professional-grade camera bodies and lenses, with backup gear on hand. The quality of your images starts before I press the shutter.
During your session:
I'm not just holding a camera. I'm giving you pose direction, reading the light, and moving us between setups — all while keeping things relaxed and fun. Most clients tell me they felt awkward for the first few minutes and forgot the camera was there by the end. That's the goal.
After your session — the part most people don't see:
For every hour we spend together, expect 3–6 hours of editing work behind your final gallery. Every image is individually edited in Lightroom and Photoshop: color grading, exposure, skin tones, selective retouching. Yes, I do have my pwn presets from years of shooting, but I don't simply slap on a preset and call it a day. Each photo is finished by hand, to a standard I'm proud to put my name on.
Delivery:
Your gallery is delivered through a secure, password-protected platform — high-resolution files with a personal use license, ready to print, post, and keep for a lifetime.
