Hey! You’ve just booked your elopement consultation call! You’re excited to start planning, I’m excited to meet you two, then suddenly you realize you have no clue what to expect or how to prep for it.

Instant anxiety.

I get it, this is a big step towards such an intimate important day! This call will be super laid back and relaxed. It’s mostly just to get to know you two and talk about all the ways I’ll help you plan your epic hiking elopement!

So here’s a little snippet of the topics we will cover and how to prep for our first elopement consultation call!

01. Deciding if we’re a good fit

We are going talk about what you’re looking for in a photographer and see if we are a good fit! But chances are if you’ve made it this far, we are going to be great.

How to prep for it: You two can start thinking of all the non-negotiables you’re looking for in a photographer. Do you want someone relaxed, casual, and down for adventure? Hey! That’s me!

02. We will discuss what your dream elopement looks like!

I want us to be adventure buddies and to make your elopement exactly what you’re dreaming of!

So we are going take a moment to learn about you two as a couple and imagine all the possibilities that you two have literally only dreamed of. Everything from season, sunset or sunrise, views, locations, some fun activities, and a basic timeline.

How to prep for it: Think about and write down some ideas you two have for your elopement. This could be anything from sharing coffee on a cliff during sunrise to a romantic lakeside sunset picnic. Don’t hold anything back!

03. We will start to discuss locations.

After we figure out what your dream hiking elopement looks like, we will discuss a couple locations that match your energy.

Looking to start your hike with a winding, rocky trail then end it on a mountain top with epic views of the sunset over the valley and shimmering rivers? I’ll find the perfect trail for you two and explore it to make sure it will live up to the adventure.

How to prep for it: Look up some inspo of the area! I have some posted here on the blog for lakes, waterfalls, and mountaintops so you can get an idea of exactly what you two looking for your elopement to be. Don’t stress about finding the perfect location if you don’t have one. We will narrow one down together based off what you two want the vibes to be.

04. Elopement Packages

We will go over packages and what they include, and how it fits into your dreamy elopement ideas!
