What's the difference between
Elopements vs. Micro-weddinG?
Elopements
Historically, elopements were a secret kind of wedding that were happening far away from everyone and usually in total secrecy. Over the years, they have become a bit more intentional and not so secret anymore. An elopement is an intimate wedding experience that typically involves just the couple or a very small group (often under 10 people). The main goal of such weddings is stripping away the noise and focusing entirely on your connection and emotions that arise during your wedding day. Elopements often take place in scenic or meaningful locations such as remote mountains, scenic coastlines, near a lake, or anywhere you like.
Micro-Weddings
A micro wedding is essentially a smaller-scale traditional wedding. It’s a world just above the elopements (when it comes to guest numbers) as it usually includes 10 to 30 guests and retains some of the elements of a typical wedding, such as ceremony, reception, and even speeches or a dinner. Feel free to consider a micro wedding as a traditional wedding, but in a more intimate and simplified way. It allows couples to celebrate with their nearest family and friends without the stress or scale of a large event. A micro wedding is a great way to include only the dearest people and enjoy a stress-free wedding.

Why book destination with you vs. a Local photographer?
Every photographer has a different style, approach and personality that they bring to your wedding day. You should book me if we click regardless of location. Finding your perfect photographer is sometimes as difficult as finding the perfect partner because you only get one shot to get it right. If we're a match I'm willing to go where you go. With that being said I've worked with couples whose "destination" was my local area. It's also a good idea to hire a photographer who's local to your home location so you can take care of engagement and bridal sessions beforehand. There are pros to each. It really just comes down to what feels right for you.
