“Of the million decisions we had to make for our wedding, going with Lori was by far the best one.”
What really makes Lori special is how she effortlessly blends professionalism with the qualities of a great friend — kind, reliable, and warm. This was an incredibly powerful combo that we didn’t even know we wanted until we experienced it!
Her warmth immediately relaxes you and your wedding guests, resulting in photos that feel completely natural and authentic.
Lori isn’t just a professional photographer; she’s become a cherished friend throughout the process.

OUR JOURNEY TOGETHER
1. LET’S CHAT
I'd love to hear all about what you've been planning, and to get to know each other properly! Please reach out and tell me a bit about you two, and I'll organize a time for us to catch up over a video or phone call, whichever you prefer.
This is also the perfect opportunity for you to ask me anything you like.
2. SAVE YOUR DATE
After our call, I'll send you a tailored quote that covers everything you're looking for. Ready to make it official? Eek, yay!
Simply sign the contract and pay the 50% retainer to lock in your elopement date.
3. PLANNING FUN
Whether it’s timeline planning or location scouting, I’m always here to help you feel super seen and supported throughout your elopement planning journey.
Whatever you need, just reach out!
4. ELOPEMENT DAY
Ahh, I can't believe it's finally here! I’m all about creating space for you to be present and soak in all that enormous love. I'll keep things super relaxed and match your energy throughout.
Blending a documentary and cinematic approach, think of me as an observer (and a friend!) rather than a director, here to capture your day, not turn it into an elaborate photoshoot.
5. GALLERY DELIVERY
While you’re celebrating newlywed life, I’ll be in my little editing corner, curating and editing your elopement photos.
You can expect to receive your final gallery within 6 to 8 weeks, so prepare to snuggle up and relive your sweetest memories all over again!

Please note that my elopement photography packages are designed for events with fewer than 20 guests, so there’ll be an additional fee for bigger weddings.
Ahhh, I LOVE film so much! Yes, 35mm film photography is available as an add-on to any of my elopement photography packages
Oh my gosh, my heart! 🫶🥹 Thank you so much for trusting me; I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am.
