This package ensures your entire story, from the morning coffee to the first dance under the stars, is documented.
THE VIBE: Focused, Intimate and intentional.
HIGHLIGHT: Ideal for a single-location elopement with minimal hiking or travel between spots.

It captures the "I do" and the immediate celebration without the need for multiple locations or a full reception.

Clarice shot our elopement in October and she was everything and more what we could have wanted on our special day! It was our first time having professional photography done and Clarice really made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, no moment felt forced and all the pictures really capture all the emotions. She is extremely easy to work with, organized, and dedicated to getting all the right pictures for you. Definitely book with her. 5 star photographer.

Clarice is amazing! I can’t say enough nice things about her - she is kind, dependable, trustworthy, honest, creative, communicative, and talented. She went above and beyond, putting so much time and care into making sure the photos of our tiny chapel wedding were everything our hearts desired. She was so great with my family and everyone loved her. We highly recommend her! I hope to have her do more photos for us again sometime in the future. Forever grateful for her and how the photos she took captured our big day so perfectly!

The Process
It starts with a "vibe-check" video call to ensure we’re the perfect fit for your story. To keep things moving, I’ll send your contract and invoice immediately after our chat. Once you’ve secured your date with a 25% retainer, you’ll receive my Exclusive Elopement Guide to kickstart your dreaming.
One week after booking, I’ll send a questionnaire to deep-dive into your vision. From your answers, I’ll build a custom activity and location draft. We’ll hop on a second call to refine your timeline together, and once perfected, I’ll coordinate the logistics with your vendor team so you can stay stress-free.
Leading up to the big day, I’ll send curated prep guides to keep you feeling inspired. When the day finally arrives, we simply live it out. Whether we’re hiking to a summit or sharing a quiet moment, I’ll be there to capture your story as it unfolds.
The adventure doesn’t end when the sun goes down. You’ll receive a high-resolution Digital Gallery featuring every captured moment, professionally edited and ready to be shared. From the first look to the final toast, your entire legacy is preserved in a beautiful, private online home.
How we transform your wildest ideas into your favorite memories.
I reserve 1+ days before and after your date to ensure weather won't be a problem or we have time to shift to plan B. your safety and experience are my priorities.
What about rescheduling?
Most of the clients I attract are adventure introverts, people that are just like me. my approach is documentary-led and unobtrusive. think of it as a fun day with a friend who happens to have a camera. I'll give you gentle direction when needed, but mostly, I'm there to capture you just being you.
I'm camera Shy. Will this work?
Each location has their perks, but most often the shoulder seasons are best to avoid crowds and weekdays beat weekends, always.
When is the best time to elope?
a thousand times, yes! Pets are family. I can help you find dog-friendly trails and help nevigate leave-no-trace principles.
Can I bring my Dog?
I know traveling can be tough with a lot of gear, so i've got you covered with day packs for you and your partner.
Do you provide gear?
Short answer, YES! We live in such a beautiful corner of the world that it would be insane not to travel to get to all of the desert gems.
Do you travel?
