Specializing in crafting wedding day experiences that will have you saying:
"I wish our day never ended"
Whether you're in search of escaping traditional wedding stress and pressures from others, to maybe just craving a rugged, intimate two person elopement experience or even a luxurious, outdoor micro-wedding, you are prioritizing you and your partner's relationship above all else.
Welcome to the world of elopements and micro-weddings.
A day planned around you and your own interests - not anyone else's
Let eloping be the opportunity for you to create a day that you'll want to relive again and again, and to plan an unforgettable experience to allow time for the things you truly love and moments you'll always remember.
That could be spending the day just the two of you in the outdoors on a hike in the mountains or a relaxed day spent exploring a national park with a small group of your friends and family.
No matter what your idea of an adventure is, I'll be there to help you plan your dream day every step of the way.
Why Consider Idaho for Your Elopement?
You may be thinking: "What's so special about Idaho?"
As a born and raised Idaho local, I can happily say that Idaho's scenery is unbeatable, with places resembling the most popular elopement locations throughout the Western US, but without the crowds! Let me show you the hidden gems Idaho offers so your elopement can look like the popular places, when in reality you had the place to yourself.
That's right, all these images were taken in Idaho!
What this means for you
A stress-free experience
Since eloping is new to you, I'll use my knowledge and expertise of photographing and planning elopements for nearly 5 years to help guide you all along the way. You'll have my support and assistance 24/7 in picking locations, activities, vendors, permits, and timeline creation, all best suited to you.
Photos that help you relive your day
My approach to documenting your day is capturing all of the main moments along with everything in between. I'll be capturing everything in a documentary way, from the way you lace up your hiking boots with your wedding dress to saying heartfelt vows to each other, to celebrating with smores by a fire at the end of the night. You'll have the freedom to enjoy your day without worrying about smiling and posing for photos, it will all come naturally.
Non-stop support from the very beginning to the end
The second your email hits my inbox, I'm so excited and happy for you! I know we are gonna dream up an incredible day for you. You'll have my support from the very beginning, from the second we get on a call together so I can better get to know your needs and wants, and even throughout the entire process. What you need and want is always my first priority.
What's it like to elope with Karlie?
"We just eloped in May and Karlie was our photographer again. She did such an incredible job making sure we had everything we needed for the day. She encouraged us to just enjoy the day and not worry about any stress. She helped us plan different activities to do and incorporate things we enjoy like fishing.
Karlie was absolutely fantastic and got all the photos we could have hoped for. She was all in for our crazy adventure of doing our ceremony in the middle of the woods, to driving to another location to fish and have a picnic, then joining us to have a small reception with our family and friends. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to make our day so special!"
