Elopements have a special place in my heart.
My husband and I eloped with our dog as our only guest, and it was one of the best decisions we've ever made. We created a day that felt completely like us.
Whether you're exchanging vows in the Smokies, on the Oregon coast, or in your own backyard, I'm here to document a day that's built around what matters most to you.

Elopements have a different rhythm than a traditional wedding, and I think that's what I love most about them.
There's room to be spontaneous. To take the scenic route, stop for coffee, linger a little longer after your vows because nobody's waiting on the next event.
I'll help with the planning beforehand, guide you when you need it, and then give you the space to simply enjoy the day.
My job is to help create the space for that to happen.

She’s made every one of our shoots memorable and fun... The images? Breathtaking. Every shot was filled with emotion, rich in color, and beautifully framed... Her work speaks volumes about her dedication and artistry.

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.

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!
Tell me about your plans, your dream location, and the kind of day you're envisioning. From there, I'll create a custom proposal built around your elopement.
Once you're ready, I'll send over everything you need to officially reserve your date.
Together, we'll plan a day that feels relaxed, intentional, and completely your own.
Before your elopement, we'll finalize the details so you can head into the day feeling prepared and excited.
The day is yours. I'll document it as it unfolds, offering guidance when you need it and giving you space when you don't.
A few weeks later, your full gallery arrives, ready to download, share, print, and revisit for years to come.
Definitely. From location ideas to timeline guidance, I'm happy to help however I can throughout the planning process.
Every elopement is different, and that's exactly why I love them. I'll guide you when you need it, but leave plenty of room for the day to unfold naturally.
We roll with it. Some of my favorite images have come from unexpected weather. If we need a backup plan, we'll talk through it ahead of time so you can feel prepared.
Not a problem. I always take time to get familiar with a location beforehand, and I love photographing somewhere new. Seeing a place with fresh eyes often leads to some of my favorite images.
Absolutely. Whether it's just the two of you or a handful of your favorite people, I'm all for creating a day that feels true to you.
You'll receive a preview gallery within 72 hours, followed by your full gallery in about 4 weeks.
