Is this the kind of elopement
I believe eloping outside isn’t just about getting amazing photos – it’s also about the experience of actually being there. Nature is more than just a photo op, it’s what provides you with an intimate and peaceful space where you can truly connect with each other. Your adventure elopement allows you to be in awe of the nature around you, from the grandest landscape to the tiniest leaf.
But without the right photographer,
the focus could shift to all the wrong things: only capturing the Instagramable shots, going through a list of trendy and awkward poses, and rushing from one thing to the next – leaving you exhausted and unfulfilled.

Never could I have imagined a more meaningful, authentic, and magical elopement.
My connection with my husband (we’ve been married 12+ years!)
Peace (Enneagram 9w1 here!) in quiet moments or fulfilling adventures
Enjoying nature and noticing all its beauty, from the vast landscapes to the tiniest creatures
Recreating responsibly, protecting the environment, and living sustainably
Traveling to new places where I can experience other cultures, landscapes, and cuisines (I’m especially in love with Europe)
Some of the things I value most in life are:
Hey, I'm Julie

We wanted an intimate, unforgettable experience that we could look back on with joy, and that is exactly what she gave us.
I’m truly passionate about the incredible experience eloping gives you- the peace, connection, and time in nature it provides you- and will do everything I can to help you have the BEST elopement day.
So that you have the elopement day of your dreams.
The two of you are unique as individuals and a couple, and your elopement should reflect that! I’ll share with you specific ideas for how to personalize your celebration to make it truly unforgettable.
So that your celebration feels fun, meaningful, and satisfying.
If you’re dreaming of an elopement day with no guests but are concerned about the legal logistics, I’ve got you! I’ll sign your paperwork as your officiant so that you and your partner can have a private ceremony that allows you to deeply connect with each other.
So that you can have a totally private ceremony, if you wish.
I’ll share Leave No Trace information specific to your elopement location as well as tips to plan an eco-friendly celebration. I’m a Certified Leave No Trace Aware Photographer, and will follow responsible practices at your elopement.

So that you have time to do fun things, see nature at its most beautiful moments, and never feel rushed.
Where you elope matters for more than just your photos. You have unique needs and dreams for your elopement, but it can take hours and hours of research to find the perfect spot. I’ll do the work for you so that you can get married in a place that is peaceful and private, absolutely beautiful, and meets your needs logistically.
So that you can have a day that’s equally private and beautiful.

My husband and I wanted to do an adventure elopement somewhere beautiful - we just didn't know where, or where to start. After looking through Julie's portfolio we knew we had to hire her. What we didn't expect is how thorough all of the pre-planning was, and every location she suggested was so beautiful! She does an incredible amount of work and research well beyond taking photos to make sure you get the best list of locations to choose from. From there Julie handled everything and even provided us with a day-of timeline and suggestions on what to bring with us.
The day of our wedding was perfect. Everything was so easy and smooth, and all of the photos felt very natural - nothing super posed - and that is EXACTLY what we wanted. She also made it very clear that there was no rush, and no pressure to do anything in any certain way. It really made our day feel special because it was all about us getting married and focusing on each other and our love rather than rushing from one place to another. We really got to soak in every moment. Spending the day with Julie felt like spending time with a friend, and now we have beautiful photos to remember the best day of our lives. No matter where you're thinking of getting married, I can't recommend her enough. She's the best!
