Having cake on your wedding day is the traditional dessert, but my oh my how times have changed! Rather than having cake, which you may not even enjoy, share a dessert with your partner that you love! Kelsey and Chris love donuts from a particular place near Orlando, Florida so for their elopement, they decided to get some delicious donuts as their sweet treat!

It's little touches, like this one, that make your elopement personal. Small details that feel more natural to you and tell a part of your love story are so special and meaningful. You don't have to go crazy either. It could be as simple as sharing donuts from your favorite bakery!

What fun things will you incorporate into your elopement to make it unique to you!?

I'll never get over how stunning the natural springs are in Florida. With crystal clear waters, tropical foliage and a variety of activities, they're one of the best places to incorporate into your Florida elopement!

Each spring is unique in its own way and I can't think of a better way to relax with your partner than floating or kayaking along the spring, taking in the views, and soaking up all those just married feelings!

Eloping at a Florida spring does require some research and knowledge as there are certain times of the day/year that you'll have the most privacy. If this sounds like a great way to spend your wedding day, let's start planning it together so we can make sure you have the best experience possible!

Kenny and Brooke’s Saranac Lake elopement was a day filled with adventure, intimate moments, and breathtaking landscapes! We started their day at their Airbnb before heading out to hike a local trail. They changed into their wedding attire when we arrived at our destination to share a first look, read their vows to each other and take some time getting "just married" portraits surrounded by beautiful ADK mountains!

On the way back to their Airbnb, we made a pit stop for lunch which included chicken fingers and beer. A casual and delicious way to celebrate their newlywed status! It was a great moment for Kenny and Brooke to relax and soak in the joy of their elopement before continuing their day of celebrations.

Back at their Airbnb on Saranac Lake, Kenny and Brooke changed into a second set of wedding attire. They shared their first dance on a dock with the lake reflecting the warm colors of Autumn. They had fixed up the boat together before their elopement and too their rowboat out for a sunset ride. Brooke wanted to recreate some photos from a scene in The Notebook, so they took some time during the ride to reminisce over photos from the past years of their relationship. It was truly a special way to end their big day!

Whether you’re planning a Fall elopement or seeking a stunning backdrop for your wedding day, I’d love to help! Saranac Lake has everything you need for an unforgettable adventure and it’s close to Lake Placid. Send me a message and we work together to make your dream elopement a reality!

When planning your elopement, Florida is a dream destination, especially in the winter months. The Sunshine State offers stunning locations, a mild climate, and a unique blend of activities, making it the perfect place for couples seeking an intimate wedding. Whether you’re looking for sandy beaches, lush gardens, or historic landmarks, Florida has some of the best elopement locations! Here are a few reasons why you should elope in Florida during the winter:

Beautiful weather! Florida winter weather is perfection. It can be a little chilly but if you're looking for a beach wedding with privacy, most people won't be relaxing or playing on the beach when it's in the 50s or 60s. This means, extra privacy and more oceanfront just for you!

Variety of locations! The soft sands, turquoise waters, and golden sunsets create a romantic atmosphere perfect for saying “I do.” For couples looking for lush greenery, Florida’s gardens and parks are picture-perfect locations. Maybe you want a tropical scene with clear water and more privacy. A Florida spring in the Winter offers stunning scenery with fewer crowds!

There are many other reasons to elope in Florida during the Winter, but the weather and scenery alone are two of the best reasons! Ready to start planning your intimate wedding in the sunshine state? Send me a message or fill out the contact form on my website and we can start planning your epic elopement!

Did you know that more than 50% of my couples still include their families even though they're eloping?!

Remember that your wedding day should be spent celebrating how you want! So, if that involves having some of your family members or even a few close friends with you during your elopement, do it! There are so many ways to include loved ones while still spending part of your day with just your partner. Having alone time with your soon-to-be spouse is so important so you can take things slow, and soak in the fact that you are about to be married! There's no need to rush through your day when you elope. Take your time, enjoy it however you want, and make it your version of the best day ever!

In case you were wondering, the classy way to eat pizza is while wearing wedding attire! 🍕

No one ever said you need a fancy meal on your wedding day. If you and your partner love a fresh slice of delicious pizza and have it on a weekly basis, you might as well have some on your wedding day! Why not!?

Your wedding day is all about the two of you and your relationship so incorporating things you love into your big day makes total sense! What fun things are you thinking about doing during your elopement?!

Laughter is the best medicine. Especially when you're laughing and enjoying every moment of your wedding day with your partner, rather than feeling stress, pressure and anxiety. We've all heard the saying "Less is more" and when it comes to celebrating one of the best days of your lives, having a smaller guests list and celebrating in an intimate way is one of the best ways to spend your day! (in my humble opinion of course!)

Holy Moly it's booking season, friends! So, I feel the need to remind you that if you're planning on eloping in 2025, don't wait to start reaching out to photographers!!

Have I planned an elopement in two days, yes, yes I have. BUT, the more time you give yourself the better. Plus you'll have more options for places to stay, other vendors and have more dates to choose from if you're wedding date is flexible. I've been getting inquiries on a near daily basis so if you're even just thinking about it, reach out!

Even if you have no ideas and have no clue where to start, send a message to any photographer you're interested in working with. Many of my couples don't have a plan of how they want to celebrate but that's what I'm here for! My goal is to take all the stress of this process away and make it fun and exciting for you.

So, are you ready to start dreaming about your elopement and making plans for your big day?! Send me a message or fill out the contact form on my website and we'll get started!!

If you're curious if you should brings your dogs with you during your elopement, the answer is yes. Yes, you absolutely should! There are some things to consider if you are planning on bringing your fur babies though...

1. Make sure all locations allow dogs and check to see what their policies are.

2. Plan out your day so that your pup will have time to rest while you two are out celebrating. They don't need to be with you all day but it is nice to bring them along for parts of your celebration!

3. Have a friend or family member available for them to watch your dog(s) if needed.

4. Please be sure to pack extra food and water for them, especially if you're hiking!

I will happily take all the fun photos of you with your pup so as long as the locations allow dogs, feel free to include them!

I'm mentally in a tropical place by the water watching the sunrise over mountaintops from a balcony while sipping on a hot Jamaican Me Crazy flavored coffee. Physically I'm in Upstate New York wearing multiple layers, staying inside, and planning our next visit down to Florida and hopefully other new and fun locations for 2025.

We have a big year with home renovations, getting married, and I'm heading out on a a European cruise with my best friend later in the year but... there is still plenty of time for some fun trips between all the crazy! We're also trying to plan our honeymoon and are having a really tough time figuring out where we want to go. It'll probably be sometime between November and March so we would love someplace warm that is perfect for relaxing and adventure. Bonus points if there are some epic golf courses! Any recommendations?!

P.S. You can find this tropical photograph in my print shop! Link is in my profile!

Winter in Florida isn’t just about the weather; it also brings unique opportunities for couples to make their day truly memorable. For example...

Manatee Watching - Winter is the best time to see manatees in Florida’s warm waters. Locations like Crystal River are perfect for couples who want to incorporate nature into their day.

Sunset Cruises - Florida’s Gulf Coast offers stunning sunsets, and a private boat cruise is a romantic way to celebrate your elopement.

Escape the Cold Weather - The odds of getting a sunshine filled day in New York during the winter season are slim. Head down to the sunshine state to get gorgeous rays of sunlight on your wedding day!

Variety of Scenery - Although Florida isn't very mountainous, it's beaches, gardens, springs, and historical landmarks offer a variety of background and activities for your elopement!

4 Things to Consider When Booking an Elopement Photographer

Booking the perfect elopement photographer isn’t just about locking in a date. These tips for booking your elopement photographer are important! Here are some other factors to keep in mind:

1. Style
Do you love airy, light-filled images? Or are you drawn to rich, moody tones? Each photographer has a unique style, so pick one that resonates with you. If you aren't in love with their editing style, don't hire them even if you love everything else. A photographer's style is pretty much set in stone and asking them to reedit photos will likely be an additional fee.

2. Experience
Eloping in the great outdoors (especially in places like the Adirondack Mountains or a Florida spring) can come with unpredictable weather and lighting. An experienced elopement photographer knows how to handle these challenges like a pro. Plus they should have backup plans, an emergency kit, additional items that are frequently used and more. The more experience a photographer has, the more you should feel comfortable that you're in good hands and can trust them fully.

3. Personality
You’ll be spending a lot of time with your photographer on one of the most intimate days of your life. Choose someone who feels like a friend! If you aren't getting the warm fuzzies from your photographer after looking through their website or after your consult call, move on to someone else. Finding a photographer who you love, has similar values, and who you would want to spend time with outside of your wedding day is ideal!

4. Budget
While it’s tempting to cut corners, investing in an experienced elopement photographer ensures you’ll have stunning photos to look back on for years. Trust me, it’s worth it. I've heard stories from couples in the past who regretted hiring a "cheap" photographer because they hate their wedding photos. This is the one thing you'll have left from your wedding day to remember it by. If having beautiful photographs to remember your elopement by is important to you, please make the investment and don't cheap out on this one thing!
