Arizona Elopements

Your elopement is so much more than an pretty photo shoot.

Hey there,

Nice to meet you, I´m Alyssa.

My style is candid, documentary and real.

A lot of people want to elope to get beautiful photos in an epic location. That’s awesome! Arizona has a lot of beautiful locations to elope. But your elopement is SO MUCH MORE than just a pretty photoshoot. It’s still your wedding, no matter if you have just the 2 of you present, or 30 of your closest friends and family.  I want you to be able to be fully present and design your elopement the way you want to make it meaningful and intentional. Most important, I want to tell the story of your day authentically, however it unfolds. I will not tell you to pick your spouse up and twirl them around if that’s not something you would do naturally. You do not have to perform for me and be someone you aren’t. Authenticity is the most beautiful thing to me and I deeply appreciate that vulnerability.

If you want that epic location and pretty photos- go for it! But don’t feel the pressure to do so to “do it for the ‘gram”. The best thing about elopements are the freedom and flexibility to do things your own unique way, so why design your elopement based off what is popular and cool to chase clout and approval from people who ultimately don’t matter?

The biggest mistake I see people make regardless of wedding size- from small 2 person elopements to 40 person micro weddings to 200+ person weddings is doing things to please other people. Whether that’s pleasing your parents and family, doing things because it’s “expected”, or doing things because the Internet told you it was cool, it’s not worth it if you aren’t totally psyched about it. Your elopement gives you a unique opportunity to do things your way, so take advantage of it!

From the moment we got in touch, my wife and I knew we were in good hands with Alyssa. She was incredibly helpful and professional, helping us plan for our wedding and finding the best spot for pictures. She drove up to Sedona (Bell Rock) and provided three straight hours of excellent service. Alyssa did it all when it came to location, lighting, backdrop, and posing for photos. We followed her lead completely because we trusted her. In a short time after that, we were flooded (in the best possible way) with amazing pictures. She made us and our wedding look better than we ever imagined, we were just blown away by how she captured every moment perfectly.

We trusted Alyssa with our wedding photos and for anyone looking for a photographer, you should too. She will provide the utmost excellent photography service. It was worth every penny. Thank you for everything Alyssa.”

“Alyssa is an absolutely lovely person to work with! We found her online and immediately loved her work. We met once in person and instantly knew we wanted to have her be our photographer. We originally were only looking for a photographer for engagement photos. She did such an amazing job capturing us, being us. She was also very flexible with where we wanted to do pictures and adventured with us up north. We planned an impromptu elopement and wanted Alyssa there to capture the moment with us. Once again we are absolutely amazed and very pleased with our wedding photos. I would highly recommend her services. She has a true love for photography and it shows. She’s very personable and we know we will use her for anniversary photos! Thank you so much Alyssa!”

I’m so grateful that Alyssa took pictures at our elopement! They came out amazing and were above and beyond my expectations. She is so great to work with and had excellent communication throughout the process.

“Alyssa photographed our wedding. From the first consultation/booking all the way to delivery of the photos, she exhibited true professionalism and complete command of her craft. Her communication was great and she was well prepared to photograph our wedding. We received our photos a few days ago and we are blown away by the quality and class of our pictures. I can’t recommend Alyssa enough! If you are looking for a friendly, professional, and high quality photographer, Alyssa is your girl!”

-Randy & Dollie

“We planned our elopment in a short time frame and Alyssa was on it!! I’m so amazed I got a photographer at short notice who was just amazing at everything! Great communication, wonderful at knowing what I liked, and the pictures made me cry they were so wonderful. I would absolutely reccomend her to anyone and I would 100% use her again. And she did great with my goofy ol husband too. It is hard to get that man in line but she did the job. Haha! Thank you Alyssa!!!

-Anie

“I hired Alyssa for my elopement and she MORE than delivered! She helped me through so many questions and even helped me to choose a site that was so perfect for my dream wedding!! She was so kind and SO great at what she does!!! We loved our entire experience!!

-Jordan

“From the moment we first had contact with Alyssa we knew she would be perfect photographer for our elopement. We fell in love with her style of photography and ability to capture the beauty in a moment. She was very helpful with suggesting locations and the timeline of our wedding. I love that she’s able to direct us with the poses and made us feel very comfortable, especially having our furbabies in the wedding. All our photos turned out amazing and couldn’t have asked for a better photographer on our special day. Thank you Alyssa!!!

You are eloping for a reason!

Let’s craft a meaningful, intentional elopement experience as unique as your relationship is.

Eloping is an introvert’s dream. So many of my clients tell me they want to elope because they feel uncomfortable “being on a stage” in front of so many people, even if those people are their loved ones. Elopements give you the opportunity to fully express your emotions and do anything you want. Think outside the norm and do whatever makes your heart sing!
