Why should every love story be celebrated in the exact same way? While the phrase "tying the knot" might be universal, your wedding day shouldn’t be. The traditional wedding formula often leaves little space for individuality, making it hard to see you in the celebration.
Choosing a day that’s intimate, meaningful, and authentically yours isn’t selfish—it’s exactly how it should be. Your elopement should reflect the beauty of your connection, celebrating your love in a way that’s uniquely yours. Let’s us help you create something intentional and beautiful.
Does the thought of planning a big wedding make you feel stressed and uninspired? We feel the same.
a thoughtful and intentional wedding

I can't recommend Yara & Christian enough! They shot our engagement photos and we loved them so much that we asked them to travel to Switzerland with us to shoot our elopement. Our day was pure magic and I owe it all to them! They know how to make you feel comfortable and have fun while capturing the most incredible moments. We absolutely love them and can't wait to work with them again!
- Izzy & Matt
Our day was pure magic.
Yara and Christian were so incredible to work with and truly took all the intimidation and anxiety out of being in front of the camera! As the photographer, Yara has an innate ability to see the shot before she takes it and authentically capture the person/couple she is photographing. I never felt like I had to pose or fake laugh, but felt totally comfortable. Yara made me feel like she wasn't just trying to make me look pretty in a photo, but capture me/us in such a way that highlights the best parts of me/us. Just after a few conversations, they made it clear that they don't just want beautiful photos for their portfolio, but truly want us to have these memories. I was blow away with the experience and the photos I received. Booking with them will not be something your regret—in fact, you'll probably thank yourself. I seriously cannot recommend them enough!!
- Sam & Jordan
Thankful is an understatement.
We absolutely love working with Christian and Yara!! They are so fun to be around and their work is incredible. Our first engagement shoot wasn’t exactly ideal weather wise but by the pictures no one ever would have been able to tell. Our wedding pictures still make us cry when we look at them. They are so precious and beautiful, every detail we could have asked for was captured so elegantly. we can’t recommend them enough and we can’t wait to work with them in the future!!
- Somer & Charlie

our why
For elopements, they happen rain or shine as so much planning and booking has gone into the preparation for that day. Of course, in the event of something dangerous, we will definitely figure something out together! For adventure sessions, we always monitor weather closely and will keep in contact with you about back up plans!
What if we need to reschedule?
You can check out the steps above to see our process to getting booked, but essentially you will reach out, and if we both decide we should work together, you'll put down a 25% booking fee to secure your date and once the contract is signed, its OFFICIALLLL
How do I get booked?
Although most people just an elopement with the two of them, I love the idea of bringing your favorite people to celebrate you. Our Elopements are up to 10 people total and micro-weddings are up to 15 - 30 people (and sometimes up to 50) depending on venue. Although we currently take up to 50 people for weddings, if you are having more guests but our work really speaks to you, we'd still love to chat with you to see if we could be the right fit!

We will send you a personalized online gallery link with all of your precious photos, where you can view them, save them and also have them printed at the highest quality! You can expect your wedding photos (after 72 hour sneak peeks!) within 6-8 weeks, and adventure sessions in about 4-6 weeks!
How & when do we recieve our photos?
Do you provide assistance in wedding planning?
Yes we do!

Do you travel for elopement and micro wedding photography?
ABSOLUTELY. We grew up traveling often to visit Yara's family abroad, and love sharing all of our travel knowledge to help plan your perfect wedding day anywhere in the world! We offer discounts to some locations, so get in touch with us so we can chat about all your destination wedding ideas!
Don't worry at all! Almost every single client we have worked with have said something similar! Our approach is very organic and movement focused and not focused on stiff and awkward posing, so I promise not only will yall look amazing it will also be super fun!
We are really awkward in front of the camera/have never done a photoshoot before!
For elopements, just try to be as early as possible! We do recommend to book 9 months to a year in advance for micro weddings and elopements, and at least 3-4 months our for engagement sessions. BUT please reach out anyway even if you are only 3 months out, we'd love to make it work! :)
How early do we need to book?
Yes! Once you receive your gallery through the personalized site link we send you, you can print, frame, and create albums through that very site!
Do you do albums and prints?

FAQs
How much time do we need for our elopement photography?
I believe that your elopement day is just as special (and if not MORE) as any other traditional wedding day. This is why I believe you need at least 6 hours. I want you to have time to really be present and enjoy your day, and not just rush through all of the motions.
What is your photography style?
Our style is warm, cinematic, and movement focused. Our biggest inspirations are films and TV shows, and we really try to emulate that while also bringing a documentary feel to your wedding day. We don't try to force anything, and capture the day as it naturally flows.
Some outdoor locations, like national parks, require permits for ceremonies and photography. I’m happy to guide you through the process to ensure everything is in place for your big day!
Do we need a permit to elope in certain locations?
Our elopement packages start at $3500 and include 2 photographers, a 60+ page guide to help you plan your day, timeline assistance, local guidance, and more. Custom packages are available to fit your unique needs. Contact me for a detailed pricing guide!
How much does elopement and micro wedding photography cost?
Elopements and micro weddings allow you to focus on your love story without the stress or expense of a larger event. They're perfect for couples who value intimacy, flexibility, and unique locations.
Why should I choose an elopement or micro wedding over a traditional wedding?
An elopement is typically a small, intimate ceremony with just the couple or a few close loved ones, while a micro wedding is a small-scale traditional wedding with up to 50 guests. Both focus on meaningful, personal experiences.
What is the difference between an elopement & micro wedding?
FAQs
What’s included in your elopement photography packages?
Our packages include coverage of your special day, location recommendations, a personalized timeline, professionally edited images, an online gallery for easy sharing, and more!
When is the best time of year for an elopement?
The best time depends on your desired location. For example, late spring, summer, and fall are ideal for mountain elopements, while winter offers a magical vibe for snowy destinations. Check out our How to Elope in Asheville NC blog for more detailed info about best time of year in Asheville :)
