WHY ELOPE?

busting all the myths on elopements....

An elopement is an intimate & meaningful wedding experience that is focused entirely on YOU and celebrating your love and commitment to one another. 

​

This can mean literally anything you want!  Saying your vows at the place you first met, spending your day doing something you love together such as eating ice cream or visiting your favorite museum.

​

It can be just the two of you, or you can invite your closest family & friends to celebrate with some dinner and champagne

​

Literally anything you want is on the table when it comes to planning your perfect elopement day

 

That’s the beauty of it - it’s entirely YOURS

​

​

​

​

ELOPEMENTS AREN'T A LESSER VERSION OF A WEDDING DAY

they are still about creating the most memorable wedding day ever

​

by crafting a day that's so personal & meaningful & unique

​

JUST LIKE THE TWO OF YOU

a love story 
you'll want to tell over & over

why I LOVE elopements

  • it’s a chance to create something meaningful that’s as unique as the two of you & your love story

  • your wedding day is focused on the two of you

  • giving you lots of ALONE TIME

  • and the ability to plan a day around things you love doing together

  • the intimacy of committing your lives to one another in front of only the closest people in your lives

  • none of the pains of planning a big wedding

hey, I'M JAM

“Jaimie takes the time to really get to know your vision and hopes for your big day and who you are as a couple. The initial meeting with her was held at our house and we loved how comfortable she made us feel.... The day of the wedding went super smoothly. Jaimie took direction and made sure we got every single shot that we planned for (and some fun ones that we didn't). My husband and I could not be happier with how our wedding photos came out. I can not say enough about how much we enjoyed working with Jaimie! Thank you for playing such a HUGE role in our happily ever after!”
