Eloping means that your day can be whatever you want it to be. If you want to…
- Hike to the top of a volcano in Hawaii and say your vows as the sun sets over the ocean
- Rent out a beachfront Airbnb with your closest family and friends
- Go snorkeling in your wedding attire
- Stroll through your favorite botanical garden
- Hike to the best secret beach in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula
- Spend the night food truck hopping in Hawaii
- Get matching tattoos
…you can! The possibilities for your elopement are truly endless. One of the best things about choosing to elope is that your day is exactly what you want it to be!
If all of the possibilities feel overwhelming, don’t worry - you're in the right place.
So, a big wedding isn't for you...
We'll be here for you every step of the way as we create the elopement day of your dreams.
Hi, we're Brittany & Jake!
Have your elopement captured by friends
We became elopement photographers because we truly believe it’s the best way to get married. We chose an intimate wedding because it was authentic and true to us, and it was the best decision we could have made.
And we want the same for you: so you can look back on your wedding day as the best day of your lives spent with your favorite person in the world.
At the end of the day, most photographers can deliver great photos. But we want so much more than that for you. The experience of your elopement day is our #1 priority, and we'll do everything we can to make sure you have the best day.
Forget about the expectations of what your day “should” be - we’ll work together to create a beautiful day that is true to who you are.
If you aren’t sure what the first step is in planning your elopement, don’t worry - that’s what we're here for!
We'll be your photographers, your guides, your cheerleaders, and your friends on the best day of your life!
We don’t see ourselves as your vendor and you as our clients - we truly see us as friends, and we care so deeply about you having the best experience on your elopement day!
"Working with Brittany and Jake, it truly felt like we were just hanging out with our friends!
They were an absolute blast to spend time with. My husband and I usually feel super awkward in front of a camera, but Brittany and Jake made us feel so comfortable and calm the entire day and it 100% showed in the photos."
- Tiffany & Chad
The experience of your elopement day is our #1 priority.
In addition to capturing all of the best moments of your incredible day, we'll also help you with…
- Finding the perfect location for your day
- Dreaming up and planning your perfect elopement day
- Securing all of the necessary photography permits, and sending you all the information you need if you’re required to apply for a permit
- Recommending great local vendors such as a florist, hair and makeup artist, bakery, and more!
- Putting together a stress-free timeline for your day
- Recommendations for activities to do while you’re in the area
- Anything you need on your elopement day to make sure you’re both relaxed and stress-free
We're here to make sure that you have the absolute best day. Everything from planning, answering questions, carrying your bags, helping you feel relaxed, and making sure you’re able to truly focus on the day.
The Elopement Experience
We don't see ourselves as your vendors and you as our clients - we truly see us as friends, and we care so deeply about you having the best experience on your elopement day.
No one wants to wait weeks to see their wedding photos, and sharing a selfie from your epic elopement day doesn’t feel like the right way to announce your marriage. But don’t worry, we've got you!
You will get 20+ images within 24 hours of your elopement to share with family and friends, set as your background, and relive the best day of your life.
Plus, we'll deliver sneak peeks within 24 hours of your elopement!
"Stumbling upon Brittany was one of the best things that ever could’ve happened to us.
I will be forever grateful for the inspiration she provided us and how she made our dream wedding come true.
From the very beginning, she took time to learn the things that we valued and felt were important to have on our special day and then figured out a way to make it all happen.
Brittany and Jake truly radiate positive energy and have such a calming presence which was such a blessing to have on our wedding day. I can’t recommend them enough!"
- Kelsey & Charles
The Unposed Experience
We're not the kind of photographers who are going to be posing you the entire day. We'll be stepping back, melting into the background, and letting you enjoy every second of your elopement day. We'll be there to give direction when needed to make sure we get incredible shots, to help you out with anything you need, and to be a fun and calming presence to take along on your adventure.
After all, this day is about you enjoying the hell out of every second. And we'll be there to make sure that happens.
If you’re looking for a photographer to show up and only capture the typical, posed, smiling at the camera photos, then we might not be the best fit, because we'll capture so much more than that. We will document you two as you truly are, completely in love and enjoying your incredible day. The way you look at each other when no one is around, the way you hold each other, the way you laugh at your inside jokes, and the way you feel.
Your love is worth being captured in a way that will bring back all of your feelings of this day.
We'll capture more than beautiful photos for you. Life moves and changes quickly, and we'll capture this moment in time. When you look back on these photos for decades to come, you'll be able to feel the love you feel for each other right now. We want these photos to be meaningful to you. We want them to show who you are. So let's capture the hair in your face, dirt on your dress, bare feet on the beach, the big laughs, and all the little moments that tell the story of your day.

"Brittany and Jake surpassed all expectations and can only be described as an “energetic force” behind our special day.
We had brutally cold winds and rain, yet Brittany and Jake remained positive and supportive throughout the entire day.
I don’t think we would have enjoyed the day half as much as we did had they not been there."

"Brittany and Jake made us feel so comfortable. From the moment they walked into our Airbnb at 5 am until the end of the day, Brittany and Jake were nothing but patient, kind, caring, and supportive in every single way.
It honestly felt like we were with our friends taking photos.
They were our hype people every second of the day!"
- Kiah & Brandon
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can we bring a few friends and/or family to our elopement?
Of course! One of the best things about choosing to elope is that your day gets to be exactly what you want. We photograph elopements and intimate weddings with less than 30 guests.
What if it rains on the day of our wedding?
If you embrace the weather and make it part of your day, it can tell a really beautiful story. And photos in the rain are some of our absolute favorites! But we are always ready to change to a backup plan if the weather keeps us from our original plan. No matter what curve balls may happen the day of your wedding, we will be there every step of the way to ensure you still have the day of your dreams!
Can you photograph outside of your typical locations?
Absolutely! Our travel schedule changes throughout the year, and we are always adding new locations. Contact us to discuss your dream location!
What if we are awkward and/or shy? Will our photos still look good?
100% yes! We have never worked with a couple who isn't nervous or shy in front of the camera at first - it is completely normal! We will help you feel more comfortable with the camera, so you have nothing to worry about. Our entire approach to photographing couples is to capture you two as you truly are. We will give you some prompts and direction, but our goal is to document the day and to give you the freedom and space to be authentically you.
Can we bring our dog(s) to our elopement?
YES, please! As long as dogs are permitted in the location you choose, we'd love to have your dogs accompany us on your special day!
Can you photoshop us?
I strongly believe in loving and embracing the body you have, so I do not alter anyone’s body when editing. However, I am able to remove anything temporary such as acne, scratches, bruises, etc.
How many hours of photo coverage do we need?
This is a great question, and it's one of the first things we'll discuss! After you contact us, we'll jump on a call and determine how many hours of photo coverage are best for you. If you decide later that you'd like more photo coverage, you can always add more hours during the planning process!
Can you photograph our vow renewal?
We would love to! Any of our elopement packages can be used for vow renewals.
Your wedding day should be the best day of your life.
The next step is to reach out to us, we’ll send over our full pricing guide, and we’ll jump on a call to chat more about your vision for your elopement day.
We're so excited to help you put together the day of your dreams!
