PHOTO, VIDEO, PLANNING

Unhurried. Immersive. Fully Lived.

just you two, fully present.

From quiet sunrise vows on a wind-swept ridge to barefoot, star-lit toasts at your cabin, your wedding day was meant to be lived, not managed.

We craft immersive, full-day and multi-day elopements that replace strict schedules with stillness, freedom, and space to linger. Because the moments you treasure the most are never the ones you have to rush through.

your traveling elopement planner, photographer & videographer

Hi, I'm Salima

My passion? Creating unrushed elopements that let couples truly enjoy every moment. I help you build timelines and itineraries that maximize adventure, joy, and memories — whether it’s one day or multiple.

I’m not just here to photograph your wedding; I’m here to design an experience that you’ll live, remember, and obsess over forever.



I’ve spent 8 years capturing love stories, documenting 100+ weddings, and traveling to 20+ states for couples who want something more than just a few staged photos.

I'll plan your elopement

nostalgic, cinematic films for the unapologetically romantic

films designed to take you right back to how every second felt

We’ll get along great if…

You want more than two hours of coverage.

You’re excited to build a fun, intentional timeline with moments for adventure, connection, and celebration.

You want to celebrate privately or with friends and family, in ways that feel intentional.

You want multi-day flexibility to explore, play, and soak in every part of your elopement.

You want guidance, support, and creativity — without doing all the planning yourself.

If that sounds like you — you’re in the right place.

Elopements are for those…

…who choose adventure over convention

…who want presence, not perfection

…who are ready to slow down and experience their wedding day fully

Elopements are about living your story intentionally, whether it’s just the two of you, or including friends and family.

It’s about moments you’ll look back on and still feel the magic, not just photos to check off a list.

Many couples feel overwhelmed or unsure when planning an elopement:

Where should we go?

Other photographers often offer limited experience, rigid packages, which can make your day feel rushed or incomplete.

How do we structure the day?

What should we prioritize first?

How do we maximize photos and experiences?

Here’s why my approach is different:

Your elopement is designed to be fully lived, unhurried, and unforgettable.

signature editorial style

A moody, cinematic, and timeless look that feels like a high-fashion magazine spread.

guided, intention-driven posing

I direct you through natural movement and candid prompts so you look effortlessly magnetic and feel at ease.

all-in-one creative execution

Planning, photography, and video seamlessly integrated under one roof so your day flows effortlessly without juggling multiple vendors.

The best of both worlds

No choosing between family and adventure. We can dedicate Day 1 to intimate toasts and dinner with your loved ones, and Day 2 to an unhurried, solo backcountry or city experience just for you two.

We don't stick you in a pre-made box. Every element is designed around your energy, pace, and priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes your elopement experience different from other photographers?

Most photographers offer just a few hours of coverage or rigid packages — but your elopement deserves more than that. I focus on multi-day, fully immersive experiences.

From planning your itinerary, guiding your timeline, recommending vendors, scouting locations, and handling logistics, to documenting your story in a playful, heartfelt way — I help you actually live your elopement instead of rushing through it.

Do we need to have our location or date picked before we book?

Absolutely not! One of the best parts of working together is that I help you figure out the perfect location, timing, and flow for your adventure.

Whether you’re still dreaming or already have ideas, I’ll guide you through everything — from permit research to logistics — so you can relax and enjoy the process.


Can we do a one-day elopement or does it have to be multi-day?

Both options are perfect, depending on your vision.

Multi-day elopements let you experience more locations, enjoy longer mornings, chase sunsets, and truly live the day, but even a single-day adventure can feel unhurried and intentional when planned thoughtfully.



What happens on the day-before couples session?

The day-before session is your warm-up to the elopement. It gives you a chance to:

  • Shake off any camera jitters
  • Reconnect and ground yourselves
  • Explore a location in a relaxed way
  • Capture intimate, authentic moments before the big day

By the time your elopement day arrives, being photographed feels effortless.



How do multi-day elopements actually work?

Each day is designed around you, your pace, and your adventure. A typical multi-day experience might look like this:

  • Day 1: Couples session, connecting and grounding
  • Day 2: Private vows, scenic exploration, lunch & rest, sunset hikes
  • Day 3: Optional family/friend celebration or final adventures in wedding attire

Every moment is thoughtfully planned but leaves room for spontaneity, ensuring your experience is fully lived.




Can we include family or friends?

Yes! Some couples want just the two of them, some want family or friends involved, and some want a combination — private vows one day, celebration another.

I’ll help you plan what works best for your vision, so everyone feels included without compromising intimacy.





What’s included in your packages?

When you work with me, you get:

  • Custom timelines and multi-day itineraries
  • Location scouting & activity planning
  • Lodging recommendations & styling guidance
  • Vendor recommendations & permit research
  • Backup plans for weather or unexpected changes
  • Photography coverage (multi-day or full-day)
  • Posing guidance, candid storytelling, and connection-focused direction

Everything is designed to remove stress and maximize your experience.






How do we handle bad weather or unexpected changes?

I always have backup plans and contingency ideas in place.

We adapt and pivot as needed, so you can stay present, explore, and enjoy your day — no stress, no panic, just a fully lived experience.






How do you guide couples who feel camera shy?

I create a playful, safe, and intuitive experience.

Through gentle prompts, candid direction, and playful adventure, I help couples forget the camera is there and focus on each other — which leads to natural, heartfelt images.







What if we don’t know what kind of elopement we want yet?

That’s exactly what my planning process is for! I’ll guide you through inspiration, locations, timelines, activities, and everything in between so you can see your vision clearly before committing.

You get structure without pressure — and total freedom to dream.







What if we want to explore multiple locations?

Multi-location elopements are my specialty. We’ll create a timeline and plan that lets you experience multiple epic spots, chase light, and still have plenty of time to rest and enjoy each other.

You don’t need to worry about logistics — I’ve got it covered.








What if we’re worried about missing moments or not knowing what to do next?

That’s my specialty! I guide every step, from planning to day-of flow, ensuring you never feel lost or unsure.

My goal is for you to fully step into your elopement, savor every moment, and leave with memories (and images) you’ll treasure forever.










How will we receive our photos?

You’ll get:
  • Sneak peeks shortly after your elopement to relive the moments immediately
  • A full gallery of beautifully edited images within a few weeks
  • High-resolution files ready to print, share, and enjoy forever

Your photos are a lasting memory of an experience fully lived.









How far in advance should we book?

Ideally, reach out 6–12 months in advance for the best availability — especially for multi-day elopements. I've booked weddings a week in advance too. It just depends on availability.
But don’t worry — I’ll work with you no matter your timeline and help you create a plan that fits your schedule.










Your wedding is about you, your love, and the story you want to tell.

I’m here to make it easy, fun, and fully immersive — no stress, no rigid rules, just an elopement lived intentionally.
