elopement story
your intimate
There is nothing more romantic than sharing your life with the person who your soul loves. The craziness of a huge wedding with tradition isn't for you, and all you want is a day completely designed for you and your love.
I provide romantic, soulful, and luxury elopement photography for couples in the North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia regions. My couples believe in a peace filled, one-of-a-kind wedding day. They want their unique love story captured in a wholesomely romantic way on film.
Elopement photography for the soulful romantics
A busy wedding day full of tradition isn't your style. You don't want 500 guests that you barely know. Instead, you want a peace filled day filled with only your favorite people. You want a wedding adventure, and a complete elopement experience including the freedom you love.
you want a fully immersed romantic day
Why Elope?
You know the hustle and bustle of a big day isn't what's important. Spending tens of thousands of dollars on a huge wedding isn't the point. You want simplicity, relaxation and the ability to create the longest lasting memories through the most unique day.
One of the most important thing to you is your love story
Why elope?
We'll meet up for coffee or chat over FaceTime, and talk about how you envision your wedding day. We go over collections, add ons, albums-- all the good stuff. To book, a 25% deposit is required to reserve your wedding date. From there, you'll be spoiled along your wedding planning journey with helpful hints and a little gift from me to you.
Let's Chat!

Your engagement session is the start of documenting your love story. Sessions are 90 minutes long and take place right before sunset. Most couples have two looks for their session. I'm also a puppy supporter and I'm all for bringing your fluffy bff.

I ask my brides to send their timeline to me two weeks before the wedding, so I know how every detail of your day will flow. I send detailed questionnaires to my bride to ensure that all desired photos will be taken throughout the day. I also send a vendor questionnaire so I know who will be celebrating your day with you!

You've received your gallery within 6-8 weeks from your big day, and now it's time to finalize your album and products. If you selected an album in your collection, then we have a coffee or FaceTime ordering date to go over all your album cover materials and options and any other product details to finalize all your cherished memories.

THe elopement Experience Begins at
Elopement collections are custom priced according to your specific needs. Each elopement is different! Some require only a few hours of coverage, others are are a multi day event with family and friends. We will build your custom package together via A La Carte.
If you're needing elopement location ideas, reach out and ask me what my favorite areas are! My hands down favorite locations are rented Airbnb houses or beach houses. Elopements that last a whole weekend that are full of the couple's favorite activities are always so special.
Some elopements choose to just include the bride and groom with portraits after their vows. Others choose to have a fully immersed elopement experience including their closest family and friends. They utilize rentals, cake and a private dinner party after portraits.
Elopements are so unique to each couple and can be whatever you dream. Gone are the days where elopements meant running away to secretly get married. Now, they are full of a wholesome romanticism that is truly about the couple. Gone are the traditions of bridal magazines from the 1960's, and here to stay is the freedom to design your wedding day however you choose.

- A comprehensive Elopement Questionnaire to share your vision.

Ashlynn is the BEST! I just got my wedding photos back and they are breathtaking. I am so grateful she was able to do my engagement & wedding photos! She managed to capture every precious moment down to the little details. She is more than a photographer she connects with her clients and makes their visions come true.
"SHE CONNECTS WITH HER CLIENTS AND MAKES THEIR DREAMS COME TRUE."

Ashlynn was absolutely amazing! From our engagement photos to our wedding! She made the experience fun and seamless for both my husband and myself. I love looking back at our pictures and not only remember the day but the actual moment of the pictures which is captured so well. My wedding photos are exactly what I wanted- timeless, light, and magical.

I'm a Canon gal all the way around. During wedding days I utilize three cameras and have a few different go-to lenses. I also shoot both film and digital! I adore the way film captures colors and raw emotion like nothing else can. I also use off camera flash for receptions once the lights go down and the party begins.
