WHAT IS AN ELOPEMENT?

noun [ ih-lohp-muhnt ]

An elopement is an intentionally-crafted experience curated just for you and the love of your life. It's about celebrating your deep love and connection with each other and spending your wedding day in a meaningful way that truly FEELS like you.

An elopement is simply a different kind of wedding – one that captures who you are as a couple and starts your marriage off in the most authentic way possible.

hey there! My name is

Salima

hey there! I'm Salima

I've been in the traditional wedding industry for over 10 years, attended 200+ weddings, had my own big wedding, and documented over 50+ large weddings. And I found myself increasingly disconnected from the traditional wedding model.

I transitioned to elopement photography because I believe that how you get married matters. Eloping gives you back the freedom to have a personalized, stress-free, and intimate wedding experience, focusing on what truly matters to you and your partner—it gives you back the joy of celebrating your love authentically and without compromise.

And I want that for you: so that you can be unapologetically yourselves, and be completely immersed in your union.

At the end of the day, most photographers can deliver great photos. But you deserve so much more than an all day photoshoot. You deserve an entire experience that will vividly transport you back to the very moment when you tearfully read your vows to each other, how the earth felt beneath your feet, and the hues of the sunset reflecting off your lovers skin as you sealed your vows with a kiss.

My unique personalized process will give you the freedom to be present in every moment and enjoy your day to the fullest. Let's make it happen!






BUT i ALSO…

  • Help you plan your entire elopement experience from start to finish, customizing it until you love every thing about it!

  • Create backup elopement plans in case weather affects your original elopement location.

  • Be your biggest supporter and cheerleader, daring you both to live to the fullest and be present in the now.

Yes, I'll be there to capture every small gesture to the grandest moments
