You’re choosing to elope to remove the overwhelm that comes from a traditional wedding day. Don’t let the open ended what ifs+how to’s of your elopement turn into just another stressful planning experience.

You know that the two of you desire a custom day tailored to you but where do you even begin? 

There are companies out there that offer all in one elopement packages. They tell you where you have to get married, who will marry you, who will document it and how much time is allotted. Every aspect of the day is predetermined and nothing is customized.

Couples end up with a few things they want and a lot of things they don’t want, in an attempt to have a stress free elopement experience.

But what if there is another way?

An elopement day and planning experience that is both stress free AND tailored to include everything you dream of!

Planning a wedding even a small one, can feel overwhelming.

Let us help ease the overwhelm.

We guide you every step of the way to create a custom elopement day that’s intentional and stress-free by offering a supportive, knowledgeable and kind experience!

There is no rule book for how to elope.

There isn’t a one size fits all for how your day will look. There are endless possibilities when it comes to creating your dream elopement day!

Whether you are eloping with just the two of you or you plan to invite 10 people that you love. No matter if you are wanting an outdoor adventure or to spend the day in your favorite city. Whether you go all out or keep things simple.

No matter how you choose to elope, you deserve to have a day that challenges the norm, a day where you have the freedom to be yourselves, a day that encompasses all the ways that you want to celebrate this chapter of your love story!

With simplified packages and tailored planning guidance, I’m here to ensure you get a wedding day that feels like you!

Simply put your wedding day experience and the photographs that you are left with, matters to me.

WHY WORK WITH US?

HERE’S WHAT PAST COUPLES HAVE TO SAY

Couple walking on stone path in a forest.

I'm not going to lie I was worried about spending hours with a photographer on my elopement day. Liz Capuano quickly eased my mind and I am so glad we went with her!

She was knowledgeable in the local area and helped us create a perfect elopement day. We decided on having a short ceremony followed by hiking and a picnic.

Liz had the perfect balance of capturing planned photos and candids of us exploring the area on our own. I loved having the freedom to adventure and take in the scenery with my husband without any pressure. I had such a great time with Liz and I am obsessed with the photos!

Liz and JP are not only amazing photographers, but they are probably some of the sweetest, most genuine people you will ever work with. Liz and JP have such a nice, warm energy which helps you to relax and be yourselves when you are in front of their cameras.

We love their documentary style of photography and their ability to tell a story using their photography. When we flip through our wedding photo album, it feels as though the photos are talking and that we are able to relive our day through the photos. We seriously could not have asked for better photographers to capture our elopement day.

- ASHLEY + COREY

Choosing to work with Liz and JP was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We wanted to elope so that we could be relaxed and authentic on our wedding day, and Liz and JP helped us to achieve that.

They were very tactful with their involvement, from Liz’s assistance with planning to helping us stay on schedule throughout the wedding day. Both Liz and JP were present where needed but unobtrusive in private moments, so much so that my husband and I forgot they were there during our first dance.

We truly appreciate how they captured the beauty of our day and the range of emotion between us and our families. Plus, we can’t say enough about the stunning photos we received! They are beautiful, personal, and perfectly show off who we are as a couple.
