you decided to elope and breathed out a sigh of relief...
I freaking LOVE working with couples like you two – ready to go against the grain and kick what’s ‘traditional’.
yOU WANT TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR
ELOPEMENT DAY SURROUNDED BY INSPIRING SCENERY
You want to have
a day that is all about you two
Ultimately you want an to experience a day that is so surreal, that you won't believe you freaking did it
I'm ecstatic that you both made this choice!
You’re not bound by overused venues or concerns about venue capacity.
The possibilities are endless!
But at the same time – the possibilities are actually endless.
Now that you can do whatever you want, you probably realized that you have more choices to make when eloping.
So if you feel like you're drowning and feel lost with where to begin, it’s a good thing that you're here.
Because, yes — technically, I am a photographer.

all in one!
Hey! I'm Salima
and I'm your answer
With my heart based and live-like-today-is-your-last-day approach, I anticipate moments waiting to unfold to document. Fangirling about how amazing you two look, encouraging you two to make the most of the time you have together, and guiding you both to be present in the now.
But I do more than just capture images. I create experiences for couples that care about being authentic. Say hello to a day that Nicholas Sparks could dream writing of!
more than just
an elopement photographer
I’m the big-picture planner, your cheerleader and greatest supporter, who prioritizes your experience over cookie cutter depth lacking images, and I dare you to live your life to the fullest.
It’s that magical combination that you can’t fake, you can’t explain, but you know it when you see it and feel it (or, like tacos and margaritas… taste it).

Salima has a true talent and makes the effort to capture every moment in every angle for beautiful captivating photos
Words can't describe how happy I am with choosing Salima as our elopement photographer! From the first email her enthusiasm for us was greater than other responses we received. We hopped on zoom and instantly connected, she asked questions and inspired us to really dream up our day. We had many calls and she helped us narrow down our top choices for locations, then helped us with activity suggestions and creating an elopement timeline to follow. We chose her full day package, which allowed us to have a fun and adventure packed day. She arrived on time and started documenting us getting ready, we then hiked to our destination to watch the sunrise and write our vows, followed with a fun caking cutting. The rest of the day was eventful, and Salima's enthusiasm and guidance reminded us to be present and live in the moment. We will never forget the day we got married and how amazing it was. Thank you Salima!!!

Salima gave incredible value with her knowledge, suggestions, and ability to help us with so many things. The experience we had with her was outstanding. We are so happy with our elopement gallery AND engagement photos! She is professional, quick to communicate, and so on top of things. She had backup plans just in case things didn't go accordingly, and was so fun to be around for our elopement day! Salima keeps things moving so things never feel awkward and captured every second of our big day. Working with her felt natural, she guided us with poses and prompts that didn't feel over the top or fake. The entire experience was top tier. The turn around time was great for the size of our gallery of over 1,000 images for 12 hours of coverage! We highly recommend Salima!
