Orange County Elopement Photographer
Quiet ceremonies, honest reactions and the details that make the day yours.
Sessions starting at $900 · Custom, from a short ceremony to a half day
Small weddings deserve photography that feels as personal as the day itself. I focus on real reactions, quiet moments and the people in the room, rather than a long checklist of posed photos.
Whether you are eloping on the coast, getting married in a garden or hosting an intimate dinner, we will plan coverage that fits your day.
Ideal for: Elopements, courthouse weddings, backyard ceremonies and small garden or restaurant celebrations.
What's included
- A planning call to shape the day and timeline
- Coverage tailored to your ceremony and celebration
- Candid, documentary-style photography with gentle direction for portraits
- A fully edited, print-ready online gallery
Starting at $900. Final pricing depends on location, length and any extras, and I will send an estimate when you inquire.
