FAQs

How soon will I get my photos?

Yes I do. Makes life easier doesn't it?!  To secure your date a 30% retainer is due. Then a payment plan is made, typically broken up into 5 monthly payments. The entire balance must be paid in full 30 days prior to your elopement / intimate wedding. 

Do you do payment plans? 

Unfortunately, I do not because picking the right vendor is something that's personal. Just like it's important that we are the right fit, the right vibe, it's important that you make that decision on other vendors as well. BUT I will provide a trusted vendor list for all the things, so it saves you time in researching and scrolling. 

Do you book our vendors?

Heck yes, this is your day so if your vision is to have your closest friends + family there, let's do it! I can accommodate up to 30 guests.

can we invite guests?

Adventure and travel go hand in hand! All my travel is included for my elopements + intimate weddings within the state of Florida. If you are inquiring about an out of state elopement or intimate wedding please specify on the contact form! 

Do you travel/ have a travel fee?

Think of me as your weather woman, I am always monitoring. Plan B will always be made. Keep in mind... December - March are the best months to elope here. April to May is still awesome but the heat and humidity is on the raise as are the showers so it's a little bit of a gamble. June - November is hurricane season and it's never a question if it will rain but when.

What if mother nature has a different plan for my session?
