“The photos literally took my breath away”

Jessa

Hi I’m Evangeline


More than your photographer I’m your guide to eloping and small weddings. It’s been nearly 10 years now and every experience with each couple is an adventure that inspires me. I’m so grateful that the unconventional road I took led me to you. Your wedding is a once in a lifetime experience but the wedding industry can be so loud telling you to must do this or that. The pressure is real but the truth is your wedding can be whatever you want it to be.

I’m a big believer in taking risks, following your light, and being a socially conscious business owner.

Combining my love for nature and the great outdoors and photographing couples in love is literally a DREAM.

I absolutely believe that eloping is the best way to get married.

There’s nothing I love more than helping couples create the authentic intimate wedding day of your dreams, where you conquer an amazing adventure together, and have the privacy & safety to truly be yourselves. Bring the focus of a wedding day back to you two as a couple and don’t have the “performance” or “production” vibe of a normal traditional wedding. You can design the best day for the two of you, from start to finish, and at some point in your grand adventure, be in a gorgeous & unique location and commit your lives to each other. What’s better than that!?

Let’s focus on what matters most

Your journey, your marriage.

The best weddings are the ones where you do what you want and skip what you don’t

You’ve found the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, the person you turn to on your best days and your worst. Every day you choose each other. Your relationship is a journey and getting married is one stop along the way of many beautiful moments you’ll share. I’ll help you celebrate your relationship the way you want to with ceremonies and rituals that are meaningful for you so you can leave the fluff and the noise behind and focus on each other.

Imagine this: You make your way up the path the sound of crunching leaves under foot, excitement is building joy and love radiating around you. Every road you’ve taken has led you to this very moment. All of the days spent laughing together, the challenges, the adventures that have given you a lifetime of memories, the cozy nights in binge watching Netflix. They have all been guiding you here to this very moment where you’re whispering your vows to your best friend…

What does an elopement look like?

I encourage you guys to sit down and think about what your favorite things to do together are. Do you love camping? Are you big foodies? Craft beer lovers? Imagine saying vows on the cliffs above a beach or with sweeping views of mountains at sunset. Maybe you want to hang at a National Park and watch the sunset with a picnic? Think about how you envision your wedding day to start. Perhaps you wake up together and start your day with a pour-over and pastry from your favorite local bakery. So many dreamy options we’re only limited by our imaginations

Why you deserve full day coverage

Listen, eloping is a big deal. A once-in-a-lifetime- and completely unique celebration of the life you’ve built together. This isn’t just a day it’s a whole experience.

01

More time to relax and fully absorb your day

Your elopement is an experience. It’s not a photo shoot that’s just about taking some beautiful photos of you saying your vows in front of an epic landscape. I want to document all of the in between moments, the big feelings, and stillness that come with telling your story the right way. At the end of the day, all you have left is your memories and your photos are what become your legacy.

I am sobbing. You captured our elopement so perfectly everyone keeps saying it feels like they are there with us. We thank you so much for making us feel so comfortable throughout our day. We were both nervous at first but felt so relaxed with you that we were really able to soak up all of the good energy! You were so much more than just our adventure elopement photographer for us. We gave you a pretty tough task of our elopement without knowing what we wanted. You exceeded all of our expectations.

Daniela + Kaylee

I couldn’t imagine having any other photographer capture our wedding day! Evangeline was the first vendor we confirmed. She gave us advice, connected us with vendors, and when the pandemic unfolded she stood right there with us and helped put together a whole new plan. We are so grateful to Evangeline for all of the help and care she put into our day. I highly recommend working with her – especially if you are looking for an intimate, intentional, and unforgettable experience.

Jessa + mickey

We hired Evangeline with very little idea what we were after, except we knew we wanted to create some type of intimate elopement ceremony and it all came together beautifully! She guided us and thought of lots of things we wouldn’t have considered, and remained very flexible. The photos are phenomenal; however, it’s perhaps just as important to consider how much time you’ll be spending with her. She felt like hanging out with a new friend on a very special day. We couldn’t be happier!
