Elopements

Where to Begin

How do you create an all-day elopement timeline that lets you breathe, lets you adventure, and lets you enjoy just being in love?

Step one…VALUE the day you’re planning with the love of your life to the point that you recognize it deserves everything you both want.

WHY? Because no matter the location, landscape or amount of witnesses present eloping is about focusing on what matters most…

Elopements are no longer a scandalous, negative thing and they have evolved past Vegas into a more personalized, intimate and even adventurous setting. Today the best part about deciding how to elope is that you can keep your elopement day as simple as you want or you can include as many details and activities as you wish! In order to get started with planning your elopement there are a few questions you should ask yourself first.

1. Where do you want to elope?

2. What type of scenery would you like to have on your elopement day?

3. Are we inviting anybody along?

4. What time of year do we want to elope?

5. What activities do you see yourselves including?

While brainstorming and dreaming up your ultimate elopement experience asking yourself the above questions will help your vision begin to appear!

Step two…COMMUNICATE your elopement vision lovingly to everyone who needs to know. But! DO NOT let other people’s opinions and expectations push you in a direction that doesn’t feel right for you.

A few different elopement options to consider include:

1. Eloping and inviting just a few people (usually under 10 people)

2. Having a micro wedding and inviting just a few guests. (usually between 10 & 30)

3. Eloping and inviting no one.

4. Eloping with a wedding reception to follow on a different date.

5. Eloping in private and telling people afterwards.

Don’t forget however the most important thing about planning your elopement… You are getting married because you love each other, because you’re choosing each other—because you know that life is the biggest adventure of all, and there’s no one else you’d rather have by your side.

An elopement is an intimate & authentic way to marry your soul mate. You can be wild, you can be free, you can be you.

How do you want to get married? Where? Who do you want to be there? Think about it, talk it over together. And feel free to reach out anytime if I can help as your wedding plan comes together.

The little moments, the big emotions, and everything in between.

When love, creativity
 & storytelling

collide.

Documenting unfiltered joy

Whether you're exchanging vows on a windswept coastline, in the heart of the mountains, across the wide-open prairies, or gathered indoors with your favourite people — you deserve photos that truly reflect your connection and the feeling of the day.

Words I Live by

Let's Connect

My vibe is: cozy coffee shops & golden-hour road trips, sunsets over the mountains & misty coastlines, meditation walks in nature, campfires with friends and deep soul-filling conversations.

Born and raised in the prairies, I’m a wedding, elopement & lifestyle photographer with a passion for storytelling. With over 100 weddings & elopements photographed, I take a photojournalistic approach—capturing real moments, genuine connections, and the details that make your story unique. I am adventure ready & I spend much of my time on the road travelling across Saskatchewan, Banff National Park, Vancouver Island, and beyond. My love for film photography influences my work, bringing a timeless, artistic feel to every image. 

To sum it up I am an intuitive storyteller with a deep curiosity for the world. Think of me as your photographer, guide, & creative collaborator.

I'm Sarah.
