Your Love, Unscripted: Experience the True Magic of an Elopement

WE BELIEVE “YOU DEFINE YOUR ADVENTURE”

Unlike many "adventure" photographers who focus solely on extreme feats, we believe “you define true adventure”. Whether it's a golden desert sunset, a serene alpine lake with your beloved pup, a hidden redwood escape, a quiet secluded Airbnb, or even a vibrant city celebration, we're all in.

We specialize in crafting experiences that are authentically you, capturing every real, raw emotion with a subtle editorial touch. We live chasing new horizons, from California coastlines to hunting down the perfect cup of coffee. We love the comfort of snuggle time, the freshness of mornings, and the beauty of peaceful moments – just like the ones we will capture for you.

Ready to ditch tradition and embrace an elopement that's perfectly, uniquely yours? Let's create something unforgettable together. Adventure is calling—let's answer it.

Why Choose an Elopement?

  • Escape the Stress, Embrace the Joy: Are you tired of the endless planning and the feeling that your wedding is becoming a performance for others? An elopement liberates you from traditional expectations, allowing you to breathe, be present, and truly savor every precious moment.

  • A Truly Intimate Connection: This is about celebrating your bond without distractions. Imagine exchanging vows against a dramatic mountain backdrop, by a secluded waterfall, or in the heart of an ancient forest. These are moments designed for just the two of you, where every glance and whispered word holds profound meaning.

  • Adventure Awaits: Do you dream of saying "I do" in a place that ignites your spirit? An elopement opens up a world of possibilities – from rugged cliffs to serene deserts, hidden coves to urban rooftops. This is your chance to infuse your wedding with the spirit of adventure that defines your relationship

  • Invest in What Truly Matters: By choosing an elopement, you're not sacrificing your wedding day; you're reallocating your investment. Imagine channeling resources from a sprawling event into an unforgettable experience, exquisite photography that lasts a lifetime, and perhaps even a dream honeymoon. You're prioritizing moments over things.

  • Expert Planning & Support: Navigating permits, scouting locations, and finding the perfect vendors can be daunting. I leverage my extensive experience in elopement photography to help you every step of the way, offering local insights and vendor recommendations to ensure a seamless and stress-free experience. You don't have to figure it all out alone.

  • Capturing Raw, Unfiltered Emotion: My passion lies in documenting the authentic narrative of your day. I blend into the background, capturing those unposed, in-between moments – the quiet embrace, the tear of joy, the spontaneous laughter – that truly tell your story. These aren't just photos; they're emotional artifacts.

  • A Stress-Free, Joyful Experience: From our first conversation to the delivery of your exquisite gallery, my priority is to make this journey as joyful and effortless as your love itself. You deserve to feel completely at ease, knowing every detail is handled with care.

Hi-I'M Mariela, Your Elopement Photographer 

"YOUR ELOPEMENT MEMORIES WON’T WAIT - BOOK NOW BEFORE WE’RE FULLY BOOKED!"

FUN FACTS ABOUT ME:

  • Jumpsuits for every occasion—yes, I’m the raffiné advocater for practicality.

    Road trips with my husband are my favorite ways to unwind.

    Llamas and Ponies have me like 🫶🏼.

    Food adventures — there's nothing better than trying something new!

    Chill nights, crispy mornings, and the occasional little rain

    The California coast has my heart. It's my perfect mix.

    I like to throw bits of wisdom around like petals, hoping they land where needed.

    I’m a drifter with roots, firmly planted but always ready to let a gust of whimsy point me.

    I’m drawn to the quiet beauty of simple moments, like gazing up at a towering sequoia and convincing myself it’s more profound than it probably is.

    I’m always hunting for Turkish coffee when I am not home like it’s the elixir of life. ( Hubby spoils me when we are home)

    Flowers and gardening? are my version of therapy—dirt under the nails and all.
