You want something that truly feels like you — a day that celebrates your love in a way that’s intentional, personal, and fun and not focused on expectations.
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.

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
Thankful is an understatement.
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
Booking Yara and Christian for our wedding and engagement photography was the BEST decision of our whole wedding season. These two have such a gift for making you feel comfortable and for capturing feeling behind the moment. If you have the opportunity to work with them for any shoot, there is truly no better option. Christian and Yara went so far above and beyond to make our day special after plans were drastically disrupted by the Helene disaster. Beyond their wonderful personalities and dedication to the craft our photos for both shoots are stunning and far exceeded expectations. As someone who feels uncomfortable in front of the camera, I can’t believe how beautiful I looked and felt behind their lenses.
- Alessandra & Matt
Your wedding day will pass in the blink of an eye, but the photographs we create together will last a lifetime. That’s why we’re intentional about capturing moments that are uniquely yours—genuine, meaningful, and reflective of your story. Whether you're eloping on a mountaintop in Asheville or somewhere across the world, we want you to feel seen, celebrated, and unapologetically yourself.
If this speaks to you, we’d love to hear your story and create something unforgettable together.
We believe your love story deserves to be celebrated authentically, in a way that feels true to you—not forced or scripted.
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!
You can check out the steps above to see our process to getting booked, but essentially you will reach out, and if we are a perfect fit, you'll put down a 25% booking fee to secure your date and once the contract is signed, its OFFICIALLLL!!!
Although most people do 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!
Yes we do! Not only will you receive a 60+ page Elopement & Micro-Wedding Planning Guide upon booking, we will also be hopping on calls with you to chat through your ideas, create your wedding day timeline for you, and be there to give you any advice and assistance you need for any part of your day!
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!
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! :)
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!
If you are worried about outfits or choosing locations, do not worry. We are here to help you with those things too! You'll receive a guide that will tell you what to expect, what outfits are best, and we'll chat a ton about the perfect location for you :)
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
Our packages include coverage of your special day, location recommendations, a personalized timeline, professionally edited images, an online gallery for easy sharing, and more!
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 :)
