Hi, I’m Madelynn - Your elopement photographer
I believe that being an elopement photographer is more than just showing up and taking photos. It’s about cultivating an experience for you and your partner.
My goal is to have you saying “that was the perfect wedding day,” one day, one year, and 10 years down the line.
Your elopement dream becomes my goal!

Each Elopement Package Includes
Elopement Planning & Leave No Trace guide
The comprehensive planning guide includes so much that’ll help with planning your elopement. It contains 60+ pages of valuable information for elopement planning.
Leave No Trace (LNT) is so important when having the privilege to use the great outdoors. The LNT guide is designed to help you plan your elopement while keeping LNT’s 7 principles in mind.
You’ll receive both guides when you sign an elopement contract and pay the 50% non-refundable retainer. You’ll have the guides for the entirety of your elopement planning process, so you can always reference them!
location and timeline recommendations
Not sure where you want to elope or wanting to narrow down your top choices? I’m here to help. I’ll craft a custom location guide for you and your partner based on your location questionnaire answers. The guide will include multiple locations based on the questionnaire answers.
To create your draft timeline, I’ll use your “timeline questionnaire” answers to craft up the perfect, dreamy elopement. The draft timeline I send isn’t the final copy. After I send the draft timeline to you, we’ll get on the phone where we can work on the final version together. We can make any real-time tweaks to the timeline and make sure it’s absolutely perfect.
assistance & guidance from beginning to end
I won’t leave you guessing the next steps in planning your special day. I’ll keep you up to date with the process step-by-step and I’ll assist with the following tasks:
Preparing for inclement weather (having plans A-C)
Getting photography permits required for your location(s).
