Intentional Elopements and Intimate Weddings
An experience you wish would never end.
Images that make your heart skip a beat.
Endless Possibilities
Right now your brain is probably running wild with ideas of where you could go, how to celebrate, who to invite, and everything in between. Lean into the ideas that light a fire in you and are an immediate "YES". Then, tell me everything.
Together we'll sort through those ideas, piece them together and get to the root of what you really want. I’ll help you navigate whatever you’re unsure about, like who to hire or activities to do.
What once felt like endless possibilities will become an elopement of your dreams that's 100% possible.
You want to make the most out of this time...
And I won't stop you. In fact, I'll be the one cheering you on!
Frolic, go wild, explore, try new things. If it rains, dance in the downpour. Being with your other half and embracing this time is true magic!! That pure state of bliss will be captured through candid and artistic photographs — so you can relive it over and over again. Forever and ever.
But first...
Let's romanticize the heck out of this very moment!
Your engagement should be spent finding the dress, reliving your proposal story when someone asks to see the ring, pillow-talking about dream destinations and getting hyped on possibilities. This time of your life is extra special, sacred. That’s why I’m going to make sure none of it is wasted worrying about the unknown’s or how-to’s of wedding planning.
You hold onto the joy you first felt when you got engaged and decided to elope – I’ll carry the rest.
Missouri Elopement Photographer
Meet Your
Friend, Salima
Celebrating love authentically without compromise —that's eloping!
Getting married should be so much more than a ceremony and some photos! That’s why I started planning and photographing elopements instead of big weddings. Now, I get to help couples curate an intentional experience — one where you can be unapologetically yourselves and your only focus is each other.
If the thought of having a day like that gives you butterflies, then stick around! This is only the beginning.
What's Included With Every Package
A made-for-you-experience
We’re going to customize your entire wedding experience until you love every little thing about it. From the fully personalized planning process and posing guidance on the big day, to your final gallery. Let’s make sure this day reflects you + yours.
Worry-free Planning (like actually!)
You’ll get to experience the fun of brainstorming and seeing your vision come to life, without having to navigate doing it by yourself. I'll help piece this day together by providing you with: timelines, locations, checklists, backup plans/locations, and logistics. I’m here for it all!
Top-tier recs & resources
Wherever you’re choosing to tie the knot, expect recommendations for local vendors that align with your style – and any other services that will make your elopement experience 10x better.
Zero travel fees, zero permit fees
Don’t worry about paying for any permits that are required for your location(s) in the US or my cost of travel! Although, if a hot air balloon or gondola ride (or any activity with a price tag) is a part of the big day, I’ll need you to grab me a seat too!
Me, your photographer!
… and elopement destination guide, "carpe diem" planner, communication queen, and your greatest cheerleader — all in one! With me you can expect a heart-based and collaborative approach that encourages you to make the most of your wedding day.
Photographs that feel like a movie
Nicholas Sparks who? Nothing will compare to the love story your photos will tell. Your gallery will be packed with candid interactions, emotion, and personality. But most importantly, it’ll authentically represent who you are and encapsulate your memories in photographs.
"Holy smokes! These are the best pictures we've ever taken!"
Salima is a true artist. My jaw dropped when I saw these. I gave her my vision and she executed flawlessly. She exceeded our expectations and is the kindest hearted human who is so humble of her talent. We can’t wait to book her to capture our life moments in the future.

"It was so easy to be in front of her camera"
Salima instantly made us feel comfortable, despite both of us being camera-shy! Some candid moments she captured honestly I did not even feel like she was there, she moved so seamlessly around us and enabled us to naturally interact with each other. I will definitely work with her again next chance I get.

"We will be coming back!"
Salima helped us from the logistics of planning our day, to tailoring it to us with fun activities we enjoy! She knew exactly what she was doing, and how to capture images that we are mesmerized with! Our images look and feel like us.
