Let’s face it—planning your elopement can be super stressful, so why not leave the heavy lifting to me? As your dedicated Virginia elopement photographer, I take the stress out of planning and ensure every detail is flawlessly executed, so you two can focus on the good stuff.
When you hire me and my amazing elopement team, you’re not just getting a photographer; you’re gaining a committed team who will handle the logistics and craft an unforgettable experience. We specialize in unique elopements for couples, like you, who don't fit the cookie- cutter norm of society. With years of adventurous Virginia experience, my team and I will be by your side to ensure your elopement day goes off without a hitch, whether we’re wandering through the Shenandoah National Park or exploring historic ruins in Richmond, VA.
As your photographer, I promise to deliver stunning memories that will last a lifetime—and of course, you’ll be married by the end of it! Let’s make your Virginia elopement day dope AF.
Custom planning tailored to your exact needs and dreams- the sky isn't the limit! Wanna say your vows on a mountaintop in Georgia then go axe throwing with your partner and take some shots of tequila while you down the best ribs you've ever eaten? We got you.
I'll help you out with permit planning (some state parks require a photography permit for elopements) and location scouting to keep our day rolling smoothly. I will go put boots on the ground so that we already have our hiking trail mapped out ahead of time.
High-quality photography that has true-to-life colors & skin tones so that you can remember the day as it was in real time. I want you to vividly remember your day, but I really want you to be able to match your photos to your day- how the sunset blazed pink and orange, how the water was sky blue, and how your partner's face turned 10 shades of red when they saw your elopement attire for the first time.
Down-to-earth frequent communication with monthly planning phone calls to ensure your elopement day isn't a total shit show. The one thing that your day will most definitely have is a great time, but we'll chat about details from the day you book up until the day before. We'll have several planning calls, so that your day is planned to perfection.
A detailed elopement planning guide that I've made with you in mind and years of elopement expertise to make planning less stressful. Even thought I help you with planning, this guide serves as, well, a guide to help give you two ideas of where you go, what to wear, and how I can help implement your values as a couple into your elopement day.
A seamless day-of itinerary that we will make together with a backup plan in case Mother Nature throws a curve ball. Let's face it, we can plan and plan until we are blue in the face, but Mother Nature has her ways. If there's rain, or snow, we'll plan out an alternative location, or hiking trail to keep the show on the road!

“If you are looking for a stress-free, fun, relaxing, one-of-a-kind elopement experience Sierra is your girl! We started planning our elopement in September 2023 and she walked us through every step of the way answering all of our questions and making sure we were getting what we wanted for OUR DAY. We had monthly calls to make sure that we were on track with our vision for our wedding day. She has left us with a lifelong imprint on our hearts with her vibrant spirit and amazing personality. We will always have this experience and these photographs to look at and think how having an elopement was totally worth it!”
Sierra made this one of the best times I’ve ever had while getting pictures taken. Her comments and chitchat made for a comfortable evening and real smiles. She kept us informed on her timeline and had us tons of images to look through in no time! 10/10 recommend this beautiful girl not only for her breathtaking photos, but her kickass personality too!"
“There are hardly words to describe the phenomenal care and attention Sierra paid to our photos, and we couldn't possibly have been luckier to find her. She took the time to get to know us personally and came with a passionate and creative energy that is outmatched. The quality of her photos speaks for themselves, and her calm presence and organization on the day of our ceremony made working with her a breeze. She got so many excellent photos that we never would have even thought of trying to get -- and earned justified praise from the NY Times staff when our wedding ended up being featured in the "Vows" section! Thanks, Sierra for everything!“
The show must go on! We will have a few back up plans, but none-the-less we will have quite a story to tell.
Absolutely not! This is your day and you two can plan it how ever your hearts desire.
ALWAYS HAVE, ALWAYS WILL. There are three options!

Guests are always a yes! I do recommend that we keep it at a minimum of 10 guests. There may be restrictions on how big your group can be in order to have your ceremony in certain spots in National Parks, for example, some trails aren't dog-friendly, but I'll take that all into consideration when I give you your personalized location recommendations!
