Plan a Day That Feels Like You

What if I told you that we could…
Enjoy Every Moment, Stress-Free
Truth is, choosing to elope is not for everyone. But if you’re here, chances are you’re not looking for a typical wedding – instead you’re probably leaning more towards originality, fun and adventure complete with chill vibes and awesome photos that bring it all together. Cue me.

You might not know exactly how you want your day to look yet, but one thing you do know is that you don’t want it to look like your friend Beth’s regardless of how beautiful it was (no offense Beth!)
You want something more you. Something intimate. Something that screams, “holy shit, I can’t believe we just did that!” As your photographer, my main goal is to make sure you’re getting exactly what you want and that starts the minute you reach out. Because you see, I’m not just your day of photographer. I’m your wedding guide, location scouter, hype woman, problem solver, creative director, mini elopement adventurer, friend and whatever else you need me to be – I’m them.
I know that I’ve done my job if by the end of the day, you felt relaxed, comfortable, a little bit goofy, confident that we nailed the shots you imagined, and enjoyed every minute of this new core memory.
Hi, I’m Debbie
Your Virginia based East Coast Elopement Photographer
You’re in the right place if you’re looking for
You don’t have to be an avid hiker or outdoorsy pro to have a stunning mountain elopement. Nature’s beauty can be simple and still breathtaking. I’ll help you find that perfect cliff, field, or sunset spot without the sweat or stress. You deserve an experience that feels beautiful, comfortable, and completely within reach—because this is your day, and it should feel like you.
Inclusivity
Your elopement should reflect who you are—not what trends say it should be. If your story started on a lakeside dock, in a quiet forest, or even during a weekend road trip, that’s where your vows belong. Together, we’ll design a celebration that feels completely personal, so when you look back, every photo reminds you how perfectly “you” it all was.
Unique Self-Expression
You may know an elopement is right for you—but figuring out what that looks like can feel overwhelming. I’m here to help bring those ideas to life. Whether that’s a mountaintop view, an art gallery ceremony, or a weekend adventure, we’ll plan it together. My goal is to make your vision possible, your way—creating an experience that feels natural, intentional, and unforgettable.
Collaboration
Your elopement experience covers travel across Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C., so no extra fees within the DMV region. If you’ve chosen somewhere beyond 75 miles from King George, Virginia, we’ll simply add a small mileage fee to get there. Whether it’s a mountain overlook, a cozy Airbnb, or a downtown cityscape—I’ll be there, ready to document your day wherever your story unfolds.
Travel Within the D.M.V. Area
Your gallery will hold every laugh, tear, and in-between moment from your day—all beautifully curated and easy to relive anytime. Inside, you’ll have access to high-resolution downloads and a print shop where you can create albums, canvas prints, or gifts for loved ones. This is your story, preserved in timeless images you’ll return to again and again, feeling the same emotion every single time.
Online Digital Gallery
Need a little help planning your elopement? I’ve got you. I’ll help you find the perfect location, connect you with trusted local vendors, handle permits, and craft a timeline that feels natural to your day. You’ll also receive my detailed Elopement Guide, filled with ideas, tips, and insights to make things easier. Think of me as your creative guide—offering expertise, inspiration, and a few out-of-the-box ideas to make it truly unforgettable.

My editing style is inspired by the warmth and texture of the 1970s, creating images that feel timeless, elegant, and rich in emotion. Each photograph is refined with care to maintain natural tones and a sense of quiet nostalgia, allowing the beauty of each moment to remain honest and enduring.
I do not alter body shapes or remove natural features. Minor blemishes or temporary distractions may be adjusted, but my focus stays on preserving what is real and meaningful. The result is imagery that feels effortless, warm, and true to life.

For couples who want every moment of their story told—from morning details to sunset portraits and evening celebration. The Golden Hour gives your day the space it deserves, capturing the entire rhythm and emotion of your elopement with depth and artistry.
The Polaroid is for couples who want a laid-back yet intentional day that captures their story without rushing through it. Four hours gives space for getting ready, your ceremony, and portraits in a few favorite spots. A little time, a lot of meaning—preserved in imagery that feels timeless and true to you.
Created for couples who want something small and meaningful. Two hours of coverage gives you time for your ceremony, portraits, and a few quiet moments together. Perfect for weekday elopements or couples planning something larger later but wanting to celebrate now in their own way.
Yes I do. However, I only allow 4 or 5 larger weddings of over 100 guests per year. With larger weddings, or mulitple getting ready locations, a need for a second photographer will be discussed and added for $100/hr for extra coverage.
Do you photograph larger weddings?

Travel fees are based on the current IRS mileage which is $0.70 per mile from my zip code of 22485. Other travel fees such as flights, hotels and retnal vehicles are assessed and provided and are non refundable.
What are your travel fees?
03
For anything over 6 hours. The rate is $600 for a regular session, and when included it is 50% off.
Do you offer engagement sessions?
02
I would say around the same time that you book your venue. Like venues, photographers book out about a year in advance, so the sooner the better. Once you have made your 33% non-refundable retainer, your date will be officially booked!
When should I inquire?
