Maybe you have a location in mind or even a general area. Maybe you haven’t even gotten that far. Please don’t worry! This is the part where I come in and take all of that off your hands.
You’ve decided to elope!
but have no idea where to begin.
The one thing you do know for certain is...
You're excited to elope and celebrate in a way that’s meaningful to you and your fiancé and you can't wait to spend the day making memories with the person you love most. A customized adventure doing things you enjoy, in a gorgeous place is exactly what you’re searching for. Knowing you won’t have an ounce of stress and can focus on the love you share with your partner is music to your ears.
AND BEING THE CENTER OF ATTENTION CAN BE INTIMIDATING.
You want to spend quality time with your partner on your wedding day.
I’m so proud of you for making this decision!
YAASSS QUEEN!
When and how do we file for a marriage license?
How do we still celebrate with our loved ones?
Where should we go to have a private ceremony?
At this point, you realize that there is a lot more to planning involved for your elopement than you thought. Not as much as a traditional wedding but there are still a lot of logistics to consider.
Such as...
figuring out what to do next is the hardest part.
Who's going to marry us? Etc.
That’s whereI come in!

"I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Nicole as a photographer and person, but if you are thinking about booking her, DO IT!"
“Where do I even begin? From my first phone call with Nicole Weeks I instantly knew I had found our wedding photographer and a friend for life. Nicole was with us every step of the way. From meeting for coffee to scope out our first look location to having our wedding photos done in record time to writing the most beautiful, heartfelt blog of our wedding day - Nicole is incredible, talented, thoughtful, and such a special person. She made sure to capture every photo we wanted, she vibed so well with all of our vendors. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Nicole as a photographer and person, but if you are thinking about booking her, DO IT! I can’t stop looking at our photo gallery and I am so looking forward to gifting photos to our friends and family.”

40 years from now sitting around the table with your grandchild on your lap showing them your wedding album. The aroma of freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies fills the room. You’re holding a linen-covered book of memories, watching their tiny fingers flip through the thick pages. The sound of their innocent laughter surrounds you while they find joy in the moments you said I do to your best friend - their grandparent.
The moments of your wedding day are incredibly special, and being able to share them with the people you love is indescribable. That's why all packages include an album credit to be used toward any of the memory books or heirloom albums I offer.

This is for you if you want a simple adventure, beautiful portraits and to share your vows with a breathtaking view.
The half day elopement is the most popular and is best for couples who either want to wake up with the sun while sipping on coffee with biscotti as you get ready together.

Or we can catch the sunset, pop champagne, and head to a brewery for a flight, dinner and a celebration!

Frequently Asked Questions
On average couples book me about 6 months to a year in advance but that’s not a requirement! If you want to elope in just a few weeks, we can totally make that happen!
When will we receive our images?
It’s totally up to you! It’s often easier to wear your wedding attire while hiking so it’s one less thing to carry. However, I do have a portable changing tent I’m happy to bring if necessary!
Do we wear our wedding attire while hiking?
Depending on your location, I’m happy to accommodate up to 20 guests. Keep in mind that the more guests you have, the fewer options we’ll have for locations.
How many guests can we have?
Heck Yes! As long as the locations we’re going to allow dogs, you can bring your fur baby! Just make sure to bring bags to clean up their waste, extra water and food for them, and a leash as well!
Can we bring our dog?
You can expect to receive around 50-100 images/hour. All your meaningful moments will be delivered but I’ll edit out duplicate photos, test shots, and other images that don’t meet the NWP minimum standard.
How many images can I expect to receive?
You’ll receive 15 preview images within 48 hours of your elopement day. Your full gallery will be complete and delivered in 4 weeks. 10 day rush processing is available for an additional fee.
When should we book you?
“I’ve spent most of my life not knowing what right was supposed to feel like. And then I met you and everything changed. You make me feel right.”
