International ELOPEMENTS
"She captured us so naturally & candidly."
Kind words
Wow. I can't recommend Cayla enough. I hate getting my photo taken but my husband LOVES photos so for his birthday I agreed to do a couples session with Cayla. She was INCREDIBLE. She made us both feel so comfortable and at ease. She had us laughing and she captured us so naturally and candidly. The locations she chose were stunning. We love our pictures so much and it was such a fun memory.

"She was absolutely phenomenal."
Kind words
My husband and I had our elopement done by Cayla and she was absolutely phenomenal. Her communication was prompt and she was extremely easy going. She went out of her way to meet me at the site a week prior to look around the location for good photo spots. The day of the event, she made us both feel relaxed and comfortable resulting in amazing photos that really captured who we are. Highly recommend.

"She will always be our first choice."
Kind words
My husband and I have done numerous photoshoots and Cayla's were hands down our favorites. It is hard to find a photographer who makes you feel so comfortable to be 100% you during pictures and she did such an incredible job! She is beyond talented and she has photographed so many of our life moments- including her flying to VA just to shoot our gender reveal and a daddy&me session. She will always be our first choice!
Eloping is about stripping everything down to what matters most: your connection, your promises, your pace. When you choose an elopement experience with me, you get a guide who understands how to hold space for intimacy while still documenting it beautifully.
What to Expect
01 Send an Inquiry
Share your date, your dream location, and the kind of experience you want. Elopements are personal and intentional. This helps me understand how to bring your vision to life.
When you’re ready, your contract + retainer officially book your elopement. From there, we begin planning the experience around your priorities rather than a traditional timeline.
We’ll talk through locations, timing, lighting, travel details, and anything meaningful you want to include. I’ll help you map out a celebration that feels like you, whether it’s a mountaintop vow exchange or a quiet lakeside morning.
You’ll receive questionnaires and simple guidance so everything feels effortless. What to pack, how to plan for weather, and how to create space for the moments you want to remember.
The focus stays on the two of you. I document the experience organically: the place, the emotion, the connection, and every meaningful detail that shapes the day.
Your final gallery arrives with thoughtfully edited images that reflect the beauty and intention of your elopement. You’ll receive downloads, printing rights, and heirloom options to keep your story safe.
Yes. I offer location insight, timeline guidance, and thoughtful planning support to help your elopement feel intentional without being over-structured. Everything is guided by what matters most to you.
Do you help with planning?
Elopements are approached with flexibility and intention. I step in when guidance feels helpful and step back when space matters more, allowing the day to move at a pace that feels calm, unhurried, and true to you.
What’s your approach on an elopement day?
We roll with it. Weather often becomes part of the story, and some of the most memorable images come from unexpected conditions. If a backup plan is needed, we’ll talk through options ahead of time so you feel prepared and at ease.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Honest, natural, and story-driven. I offer gentle guidance when it’s helpful, especially during portraits, but much of the day is documented as it naturally unfolds. My goal is for you to feel present, not posed.
What’s your shooting style?
Absolutely. Elopements can look many different ways. Whether it’s just the two of you or a small group joining you, the focus remains on creating a meaningful, personal experience.
Can our elopement include a few guests?
You’ll receive a small preview gallery shortly after your elopement, followed by your full gallery within 4–6 weeks. I approach editing thoughtfully and consistently so your images feel cohesive and true to the experience you created.
What's your turnaround time?
FAQ
As a destination and Tennessee wedding photographer, I take on a limited number of weddings each year so every couple gets the attention and care they deserve.
If you want a wedding day that feels calm, present, and fully lived, and photos that reflect that feeling, I’d love to hear your story.
