MN & WI Elopement Packages

WHY DO I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHING ELOPEMENTS?

Elopements just feel more true to the heart.


After years of photographing big traditional weddings, I came to see that the magic I was chasing lived in quieter moments. The look you share when no one else is watching. The laughter carried on the breeze beside a northern lake. The stillness of the woods as you say your vows beneath the trees. Elopements in Minnesota and Wisconsin invite you to slow down, be present, and create a day that feels true to who you are. Each one is different, shaped by the land, the light, and your story.

LET’S CHAT

The Art of Telling Your Love Story

For those who wish to live the story, not stage it.

This isn’t about stiff poses or forced perfection. You won’t spend your day worrying about where to stand or what to do with your hands. You’ll be too caught up in the moment, laughing, exploring, maybe tearing up a little, and simply being with the person you love most.

I don’t believe in staging moments. I believe in witnessing them.

The way your partner tucks a loose strand of hair behind your ear. The way your laughter carries through the trees or across the rocks. The way your dress gathers dust as you wander through the landscape. I’m there to quietly observe and step in gently when needed, but mostly, to let you just be.

When you feel free to be fully yourselves, that’s when the real magic unfolds.

This experience is for couples who want something honest and meaningful. A celebration that feels like you, unpolished in the best way and filled with heart. One day, when you look back at these images, you won’t just see how it looked. You’ll remember how it felt.

Real. Honest. Unforgettable.

I’m there to guide you in a way that works for you.

If you want direction I am happy to set up shots but I am also happy to step back and just let things unfold.

Every couple is different, and your day should feel like you, not a photoshoot. I’m there to gently guide when needed, offering direction that feels natural and never forced. But I also know when to step back and simply let the moment breathe. Whether you’re twirling in the sunlight or sitting quietly, lost in each other, I’ll read the rhythm of your connection and meet you there. The best photos come when you’re fully present, not performing, and I’m here to make sure you feel free to do just that.

    She was on top of everything, made sure the day ran smoothly, and had the best suggestions. Hillary is such a sweet and calming presence which is exactly what I needed on my special day.

Got Questions?

Yes, I take $1700 upon booking to secure the date in my calendar. This also helps cover the initial planning I help with right away, as well as getting travel and accommodations booked. This retainer is non-refundable.

No. I do compile a list of suggested vendors and activities, but you are responsible for actually booking those vendors!

This depends entirely on the locations you are eloping in, but yes, sometimes permits are required. I will walk you through the process to obtain them, but again you are responsible for securing the proper permits, passes, etc. required in your location.

I am ordained by the Universal Life Church and can sign off on your marriage certificate in many locations. (not all locations accept this) It is difficult for me to photograph and officiate at the same time though, so in this case it is more you two just reading your own vows to each other and proclaiming your marriage and then I just sign the paperwork!
