One of the biggest reasons why I think more people should elope is to spend quality time with your person on your wedding day.

When you elope, you get a more intimate experience with your partner. Most of the time with a more traditional wedding, you and your partner don’t actually spend a lot of time together. Sounds insane, right? But between getting ready separately, all the photos with your bridal party and family, a ceremony later in the day, greeting and thanking all of your guests, missing cocktail hour to get more pictures, etc. You end up spending more time with your wedding party but last I checked, it wasn’t them who you were marrying.

When you elope, however, you get to spend the entire day creating memories with your partner! Between getting ready together, exploring cool places, taking photos in a fun and relaxed way, being spontaneous, slowing down for a nice meal together, and more, you get to hang with your favorite person all day long without all the requirements of a traditional wedding. It’s pretty freaking awesome if you ask me!

Ready to begin planning your dream day with your partner? Send me a message and we can craft a day, or two, to celebrate the beginning of your marriage in a way that feels authentic to you!

What a week (or two) it has been! Between planning an elopement for such a sweet couple in only TWO DAYS in the Finger Lakes, to a 5 day commercial shoot, to traveling so very many miles, getting a cold, and having my parents come up to help us with project around our house it’s been BANANAS!

This week I’m finally back in my office catching up on emails, editing, admin work, calls, designing albums, working on other projects, planning more elopements, and all the other things it takes to run a business. All of that to say that I am fully obsessed with my career and my life! I absolutely love working with couples who value quality time filled with adventure mixed with carving out time in my calendar to take days off and spending time with my people.

I’ve heard a few people say that their 30s have been some of their favorite years of their lives and although I’ve only been in that club for about 6 months, I think they might be right!

Over the weekend I had the opportunity to photograph my future in-laws family. Although I’m keeping their family photos private, I had to share how honored I am to have done this for them! I’m sitting at my desk editing their photos and all the sudden realized how bad my cheeks were hurting. I’m smiling away at my computer screen looking at the joy shared between my future family. There are some really special photos of my Mother-in-law with her two grandkids that I cannot wait to share with them! The girls, who are 3 and 5, ran around, were silly, and had fun (for the most part) which made for some of the most beautiful candid photos. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good posed photo, by my favorite images are candid shots, forever and always. These are the pictures that show the raw and genuine emotion that you can actually feel when looking at them. Candid photos are the images I’ll always choose to display in my home because they make you smile when looking at it and remembering those moments. The fact that I get to capture these little snippets in time is something I will never take lightly and am so dang grateful for!

When planning elopements, I try to get each of my couples to dig deep and incorporate things into their day that are meaningful and/or unique to them. Well, Kelsey and Drew did just that!

One of their daily habits is to wear matching XXL t-shirts to bed every night. So, for their wedding day, they decided to get custom t-shirts and wear them as they drank coffee while watching the sun rise after their morning hike! How freaking cute are they?!

My GOODNESS! It has been busy around here. So much so that I may have neglected IG for a bit, but there are more important things in life than social media, right?

Between epic Adirondack elopements, consultation calls, planning custom timelines, hosting family in our new home for about two weeks, traveling, doing more house projects and so much more, I’m kind of tired (but in the best way)! September and October are always some of my busiest months of the year for obvious reasons and I thrive in the constant go go go of it all. That is, until I realized I haven’t taken a whole lot of time for myself lately so a few days off are in my near future! PHEW!

Anyway, I hope you all are loving this Fall season, staying safe if you are in the Southeastern part of the states, and are taking time to rest before we head into Winter. Hibernation season is almost here so don’t forget to soak up as much sunshine as you can, whenever you can!

If you could elope anywhere in the world, where would you go?! This is all hypothetical so even if you’re already married, you can still comment with your dream elopement location!

Ready… Go!

Emotion filled images are what I strive to capture for my couples. The joy and laugher along with happy tears and raw, natural emotion. Your wedding pictures should reflect your personalities whether that be you laughing with your entire face, cute and ugly crying of pure happiness, or so much dang love for your partner you just can’t stand it. It’s all those in between moments shared that display who you are at your core that help tell your love story on the day you married your best friend.

If you’re planning an elopement and are looking for emotion filled images matched with an experience that’s personalized to you and your partner, send me a message! Creating a custom wedding day for my couples is one my favorite things to do!

I don't know about you but it's still Summer in my book! I'm all about these hot September days with green leaves, longer days, lake views and beautiful sunshine. I love when my eloping couples request a location near water, especially on a wam Summer day. Whether it's a serene lake, a tropical Florida spring, a jaw dropping waterfall or a secluded beach, I'm all about the calming water views!

Looking for an epic location for your New York or Florida elopement by a lake or the Ocean? Let me know and we can start planning and researching all the good locations to make your elopement dreams come true!

Off to Buffalo this weekend to photograph this gorgeous couple’s wedding celebration. They eloped in the Adirondacks this past June but still wanted to get together with their family and friends to celebrate their new husband and wife status. So they planned cocktail party and invited their crew to celebrate with them in a fun and relaxed way at a new brewery in their area! Plus, they really wanted to include their fur baby, Kirby in their wedding photos. 🐕 So off to Buffalo I go!

Can’t wait to document all the love people have for them tomorrow!!

3 things to consider when writing your wedding vows...

1. If you tend to get emotional, mixing some big meaningful statements along with promises that will make you both laugh is a really good idea!

3. Start writing them well before your wedding day! This give you plenty of time to make adjustments and add things if needed!

5. Get your vows books from .keeper.co for more guidance and an interactive writing experience to make this processes easy and fun!

Let’s talk about elopement details for a moment. Typically elopements have a lot less details than a more traditional wedding. Which for couples who think less is more, is perfect! That being said, those details are still super special and should be documented in a beautiful way.

Here are a few details you should consider having for your elopement day:

-Bouquet
-Vow books
-Special perfume/cologne
-Boutonnière
-Rings
-Something new, borrower and blue
-Special jewelry
-Your favorite beverage
-A fun sign
-Something to include your pet if they couldn’t make it
-Custom ring box
-Your favorite snacks/foods
-Whatever else you want to include because it’s your day and you should do whatever you want!

Well hello, you!! I'm Nicole, if you didn't know that already, an elopement photographer based in the Adirondacks serving the ADK, Catskills, New England, Florida, Iceland, and well... anywhere that your elopement dreams take you!

I'm a huge believer in celebrating your wedding day on your terms, embrace adventure any chance I get, and some would say I have way too many plants in my home. 🪴🤷🏼‍♀ I'm currently in the midst of planning an intimate wedding for my fiancé and I next year and it's so much fun to be going through this process along side of my couples. You can typically find my working on my business, which I love, doing something outside, usually walking or hiking, baking in my kitchen 🍪, golfing with Billy (my fiancé who I mentioned earlier) 🏌🏼‍♀, or hanging out with one of the many nieces and nephews we have!

Being an elopement photographer is one of the best jobs in the world! Traveling to epic locations, working with laid back, adventurous and fun couples , and creating images that will last longer than a lifetime is so dang special!

If you, or someone you know, if looking to plan their micro wedding or elopement, send them my way! My goal is to make their planning experience and wedding day fun, stress-free and full of memory making moments! 💕

Finding the perfect location for your elopement ceremony can be hard to do, especially when you're traveling from out of town to get to your destination. That's where I come in! Location scouting is a part of all my elopement packages! What is location scouting?! I'm glad you asked...

Location scouting consists of researching locations online, visiting those places before your elopement, and pretty much finding out everything we need to know about that spot. Such as trail conditions, where does the sun rise, how accessible is it, best time of year to visit that spot, do we need a permit, etc. This is a super important part of the process. Imagine getting to a trailhead only to find out that it's a 7 mile steep incline hike that will take 5 hours. Or picture getting to a spot that you've see beautiful pictures of to find it a muddy swamp. Pictures online can be deceiving! So heading to the locations in person before your elopement is essential!

This part of the process can be quite time consuming and daunting, which is why I take care of all of that! I'll send you photos and videos of the different locations and take care of permits if needed so the only surprises on your wedding day will be good surprises!

The very first time you see your fiancé on your wedding day is such a special moment! It’s the very last time you’ll see your partner before becoming a married couple. How crazy is that?! You two wake up as fiancés and got to bed married!

A first look is special for many reasons but it’s also nice to have that private time together to be able to feel all the emotions, talk to each other and hug each other and take a big deep breath because now that your with your person, all the anxiety/stress/nerves start to disappear!
