Are our dogs allowed to come?

Yes, absolutely! While I primarily capture elopements in these areas, feel free to inquire with me and I would be happy to look into capturing your day. Travel fees may apply.
Can we bring decor + props for our ceremony location?
As long as it is accepted by your elopement location, I encourage you to bring props and decor to make your day unique. Just remember to use LEAVE NO TRACE principles. Everything that comes with you to the location, must be brought back out to keep these beautiful locations clean.
