"Merissa is a gem
She is professional, warm and most importantly, incredible at what she does! She was a pleasure to work with every step of the way— Merissa got to know us and scouted locations for us as we were planning our wedding long-distance. Her expertise and advice resulted in wedding pictures that are more stunning and meaningful than my wife and I could have ever imagined.
She was so much fun to work with, making us feel incredibly comfortable, even when we were throwing wild ideas at her—such as getting a few shots on our mountain bikes in our wedding attire."

The Process
1: Let's Chat! Schedule a Consult Call
Getting to know you and hearing about your dream elopement is such an important first step. Elopements are deeply personal — they’re about the two of you, your story and the kind of experience you want to create.
This call is where we explore your ideas, talk through location options, and make sure we’re the perfect fit. I’m not just your photographer — I’m on your team, here to guide you, answer questions, and help you see what’s possible.
I can’t wait to hear what you’re dreaming up.
2: Customized Proposal
After our consult call, I’ll send over a customized proposal tailored to your specific plans, vision, and coverage needs.
Your proposal will include a detailed outline of your package, the agreement and the retainer invoice to officially reserve your space on my calendar.
Once the agreement is signed and the retainer is received, your date is secured — and we can begin planning your unforgettable elopement experience
3: Your Guide to a Dream Elopement
I help you design and plan your dream elopement from the very beginning.
I create a custom elopement guide tailored specifically to you — based on your vision for scenery, adventure, meaningful moments, and the overall experience you want to create.
Your personalized guide includes:
• Carefully selected location suggestions that match your aesthetic and priorities
• Thoughtful timeline planning built around the best light and natural flow of the day
• Permit guidance and logistical support
• Trusted local vendor recommendations
• Activity ideas to make your elopement feel like an experience — not just a ceremony
This isn’t a copy-and-paste plan. It’s intentional, curated, and built around your story — so your day feels effortless, adventurous, and completely you.
4: Help Every Step of the Way
I am available for several consult calls along the way, including a final call to go over all of our plans before your elopement. Your adventure elopement day is more than just a photoshoot — and I’m here for all of it.
From photographing the quiet, meaningful details to guiding you through the flow of the day, I’m by your side every step of the way. Need help pinning a boutonnière? I’ve got you. Feeling lightheaded and need a granola bar? I probably have one in my bag. Dress needs bustling? Timeline running a little behind? I’m already on it.
So you can be fully present — I’ll handle the rest.
5: Your Preview + Online Gallery Delivered
And because I know how excited you’ll be, I deliver a sneak peek gallery and a few fun behind-the-scenes video clips within just a few days, so you can relive the magic and share it with your favorite people right away.
Your finished gallery — complete with all your carefully edited images — is delivered in a beautiful online experience designed to tell the story of your day.
Your photos are thoughtfully organized making it easy to relive each chapter — from getting ready to your ceremony, portraits, and celebration. The gallery is simple to navigate, download, share with loved ones and order professional prints — so your memories can live both online and in your hands for years to come.

I can't say enough great things about Merissa. We planned our wedding from out of state, and she was helpful in providing us support in finding vendors, including our venue!
She goes above and beyond. She is incredibly talented and when we saw the final product of all of our photos we were really blown away. She is a great mix of professional, friendly, kind, fun, and above all else a rockstar photographer. I am forever grateful we had Merissa as our photographer and for all of her help during our wedding."
