It's your freakin' WEDDING DAY. Just because you decided to do something different doesn't mean that it's any less important than the norm. Marriage is a forever commitment. That's a BIG deal, and you've simply chosen to do it in a way that feels true and reflective of your love for one another.
And the coolest part is that you can do whatever the heck you want without anyone nagging you to do things you don't want to do. The options are endless, and that's one of the many beautiful things about elopements.
So let's kick back and plan a day that feels true to you. I'll be there to capture every moment- big, small, and in-between.
it's not "just" an elopement
let's start planning
What makes me different?
AN INCLUSIVE SPACE
All love, always. LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC are seen and loved here. All bodies are accepted and loved here. All people are welcome here!
EMPATHY & AUTHENTICITY
My job is to capture the story of your love; my place as a human is to provide space where I can be more than just your photographer. By being my truest, authentic self, I provide a safe, non-judgmental place where you can be your truest, most authentic self!
PREPARED & HELPFUL
From the beginning, I provide any help you need for the planning process and continue guiding you through your elopement day. On elopement days, I bring my little arsenal of things you may need-- portable fans, a sewing kit, extra pins, and more. I am serving YOU, so I always have your best interest in mind...down to the smallest details.
"We wanted a photographer with plenty of experience with diverse couples for our elopement, and we knew Colleen was "the one" the moment we saw her work."
