"She makes sure to get every little detail and makes you feel comfortable the whole time"
Mary is absolutely amazing! She took our wedding pictures on Mackinac Island. I was so happy that she was willing to travel there to capture our special day, and we loved every single picture that she took! She makes sure to get every little detail and makes you feel comfortable the whole time. I highly recommend!

FAQ's
When should we book?
The more heads up we have, the better! The ideal timeframe would be 6 - 12 months from your desired date. However, if you're feeling spontaneous, we can work with a shorter timeline!
What if we want something more extreme for our elopement?
I like the way you think! Let's start big and I will try my best to make your dreams a reality.
Will you help us with what to wear?
Yes! I’ll send you a style guide with recommendations for outfits that photograph beautifully and suit your location (think flowy dresses for movement, layers for warmth, and comfy shoes for adventure!).
Can we bring family or friends to our elopement?
Absolutely! While some couples elope just the two of them, others bring a small group. If you’re inviting guests, I can help find a location that accommodates them while still keeping the elopement vibe intimate and stress-free.
Can we bring our pup?
Of course! I will make sure we pick locations that allow your fur-baby!
