Elopement and Micro Wedding Packages

Customized for your one of a kind day

I curate personalized and unique experiences, jam packed with carefree fun and excitement. You'll wish the day continued on forever!

You move against the grain...
Your elopement should match the vibe

Staying true to you, your story and your desires.

Because this is not just another day...

Contact me to start planning the best day ever!

That means choosing **awesome** over the ~~boring~~, ~~cookie-cutter~~ template. Replacing the performances with real experiences and adventures.

There are so many tough choices to make,
but your elopement package shouldn't be one of them.

That should be made easy. let me show you:

Even if you only have a vague idea of where you want to elope...

You have a vision, but no set coordinates. thats okay! We'll talk about your vision and goals, and I help make it easy for you, sharing exclusive resources and secrets of my own. You'll feel confident your dream day is coming to life.

You aren't limited to one hour, one location, one activity...

Most wedding or elopement packages limit you to where you are, what you do and how much time you have left, ticking away.
hell no, no way. it's going to be WAY more fun and flexible that that.

A truly customized and unique experience.

My exclusive resources and a decade of experience, love for the outdoors, nostalgia, fun and adventure, I'll draft and curate your wedding day to your vision, until it's absolutely perfect.
Simply relax, have fun, and have that celebratory bubbly

We had a tremendously fun day in the Adirondacks with Tinara. It was really great to be able to have our pick of the location we wanted, we chose Coney Mtn for the 360º Views. She really blew us away with the natural prompting she gave us, we really took in each little moment! It was so relaxing to just take it all in. It really was like having your best friend tag along for the ride, and take gorgeous photos of us! The photos are unreal. Each one feels like it transports us back to our elopement. We were laughing non-stop the entire day, I'd do this over and over again!"
