YOUR DESTINATION WEDDING OR ELOPEMENT


can I come?


Maybe you’ve spent your entire life envisioning a small, intimate wedding along the Amalfi Coat in Italy (If that’s you, skip the rest and just call me already.)

One of you closed the 13 tabs and said “Let’s just elope” and now you’re looking for the most adventurous photographer to take with you.

However you got here, you’re in the right place. Because magical, adventurous destination weddings are kind of my thing. 

I see love as both - Friday nights cuddled up on the couch watching Netflix - and - hiking up Mount Ulriken in Norway trying to decide if your going the right way.

Love is your most ordinary moments and your biggest adventure. So why not start this whole marriage thing with your best trip yet?

HALEY & ALEX - BANFF, ALBERTA

We had the absolute best experience with Chelsee! She traveled all the way to Alberta and spent several days with us, capturing our wedding with so much care, passion, and attention to detail. The photos are absolutely breathtaking truly beyond anything we could have imagined.

Beyond her incredible talent, Chelsee herself is what made the experience so special. She is warm, genuine, and an absolute joy to be around. Her calm, positive energy made us feel completely at ease throughout the day, and it truly

FAQ

Why should I fly out a photographer vs going with someone local?

When planning a destination wedding or elopement, the most important part of choosing a photographer is finding someone whose style you genuinely love. Your photographer’s artistic vision, storytelling approach, and editing style shape how your day is remembered, so choosing someone who already aligns with your aesthetic ensures your photos feel intentional, cohesive, and true to you.

Flying out a destination wedding or elopement photographer allows you to prioritize creative connection over convenience. Rather than being limited by location, you’re able to work with someone whose work you trust completely which removes uncertainty and allows you to fully relax and be present during your celebration.

There is also something incredibly special about bringing a photographer into a new environment with fresh eyes. Exploring a destination together creates space for creativity, movement, and organic moments to unfold. When a location is approached with curiosity rather than routine, it opens the door to cinematic, landscape driven imagery and story focused photographs that go far beyond traditional coverage. That shared sense of adventure builds comfort and trust, resulting in images that feel natural, emotional, and deeply connected.

Choosing to fly out a photographer you love isn’t just about the photos themselves it’s about the experience, the creative collaboration, and having your destination wedding or elopement documented with intention and artistry, wherever in the world you choose to celebrate.

What are the costs?

I understand each wedding is unique and I don’t believe in a one size fits all mindset. I love to design and create a custom destination package that includes everything needed. Developing the right package for you depends on the needs of your wedding day.

When it comes to your destination wedding, you’re getting the same photography package you would get if you had your wedding locally but with travel expenses built in. This way you have more control over your costs and with everything figured out ahead of time, there are no surprise costs afterwards.

Is it worth it?

Hiring a destination elopement photographer allows you to intentionally choose someone whose artistic style, storytelling approach, and experience align with your vision no matter where in the world you elope. Rather than being limited by availability at a specific destination, you’re investing in imagery that feels personal, cinematic, and true to your story.

When I photograph destination elopements, the experience is designed to feel unrushed and immersive. I build timelines around light, landscape, and connection, allowing space to explore meaningful locations and capture authentic moments as they naturally unfold. Traveling together also creates opportunities for layered storytelling from quiet, intimate moments to expansive, landscape driven imagery that reflects the adventure of your elopement.

My destination elopement collections often include added creative value as a thank you for bringing me along such as extended coverage, bonus imagery, or unique experiences tailored to your location. When the setting allows, I also offer underwater sessions for ocean elopements, adding a rare and artistic perspective to your final gallery.

This approach ensures your destination elopement is documented with intention, artistry, and care wherever in the world your love story takes you.

Communication is key

When planning a destination wedding or elopement, communication is everything. Coordinating travel, locations, timelines, and experiences from afar requires a photographer who is not only responsive, but fully invested in guiding you through each step. From the initial inquiry to the final gallery delivery, your photographer should feel like a trusted partner not someone you’re chasing for answers.

Having planned and photographed many destination weddings and elopements, I understand how many moving pieces are involved. That experience allows me to support my couples with intention and care. I pour my heart into the planning process by creating detailed destination guides, helping you build timelines around light and landscape, offering location specific insight, and collaborating on mood boards so your vision feels cohesive and elevated. I also guide you through what details to set aside for getting ready and how to structure your day so it feels like an experience, not a schedule.

Because destination celebrations require trust, I prioritize clear, consistent communication and make myself easy to reach through email and social platforms. My couples are never just a booking they are people whose stories matter deeply to me. I invest the time and energy needed to ensure you feel supported, confident, and excited throughout the entire planning process.

By the time your destination wedding or elopement day arrives, we’ve built a genuine connection. That trust allows me to show up not only as your photographer, but as your biggest cheerleader fully present, fully invested, and ready to celebrate alongside you. The result is imagery that feels natural, emotional, and intentional, captured in a place that reflects your love story.

What if your camera gear gets lost or delayed?

I have a special camera bag that allows me to pack my gear as carry on for the flight. That means that the gear never leaves my sight. For destination weddings, I also ask that you allow me to travel at least 1 or 2 days in advance of the wedding in case of any other potential issues.

How far will you travel? What constitutes a destination wedding?

There is no limit to where I will travel for a great story! Although most people think of a destination wedding as a wedding in a tropical location, it doesn't have to be. A destination wedding can occur at unique locations across North America, Europe, Australia, and beyond! I would consider certain locations within Canada for my destination wedding packages as well! If you are unsure, just send me a little note :)
