Arizona Adventure Elopement Photography
your arizona elopement photographer
adventuring for love since 2019
you deserve to be seen.
you deserve to be celebrated.
let's make your wedding day all about you
Not the seating chart tetris, not the groomsfolk that lost their tie, and absolutely not the timeline that ends up more like a checklist of everyone else's "must do's".
Instead, let's get together and craft a truly special experience off the beaten path. You bring the love story and I will guide you through the rest!
only shooting stars break the mold
so what is an elopement?
The modern definition of an elopement or intimate wedding is quite flexible!
The only criteria are:
1) an exclusive guest list of only those nearest & dearest, or even no guests at all, and
2) the freedom to customize every aspect of your celebration.
is an elopement right for me?
That depends!
Are you ready to skip the “get in, get out” rushed feeling of a traditional wedding venue?
Would you rather spend all day with a handful of your closest loved ones (and new spouse) instead of having three minutes to say “hi” to each of a hundred people?
Do you daydream of exchanging private vows with the dawn on a mountaintop and spending the evening stargazing by a desert lake?
Last one, are you ready to explore Arizona, celebrate your unique journey, and look back with gorgeous, kickass photographs at the end of it all?
what is eloping with Frances like?
I like to call this our “meet-cute”. We chat over a latte, adult beverage, or the world wide web to get to know each other and find out what matters most about your wedding day.
Leading up to your elopement, I will be your research queen! Based on your dreams, I scout locations, suggest activities, and assemble a few to-do’s as painlessly as possible. A flexible, stress-free timeline will capture every perfect detail.
This is the magic. You have the absolute best day of your lives so far*, photographed by yours truly. We scale mountains, chase waterfalls, and avoid being stuck by cactus while you join your lives together for all time.
*My lawyer would like me to note that this is speculative language.
Next, you two enjoy glowing with newlywed bliss, perhaps extending your Arizona adventure into a honeymoon. I combine all of the genuine emotion and gorgeous scenery in a timeless, editorial gallery of high-resolution images.
To tie everything up with a bow (or knot, rather), we fill your home with beautiful artwork and albums of memories from your elopement. I have partnered with world-class print labs so the warm & fuzzies can last a lifetime – much better than showing the grandkids your Instagram account.
All that’s left is to plan your next adventure!
"You pile up enough tomorrows,
and you'll find you are left with nothing but a lot of empty yesterdays.
I don't know about you,
but I'd like to make today worth remembering.”
- The Music Man (my first favorite musical)
Let's get started!
Frances did our engagement photos at the Phoenix Mountain Range and they came out perfect! She found us amazing spots to capture the sunset and suggested poses. 10/10 would use her for our photos again!
Frances took my photos at the Jewel in the Desert in Cave Creek. She suggested this location and the pictures turned out amazing! Frances was fun to work with and she made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. I highly recommend her!
I had the pleasure of having my photos taken by Frances and they turned out even better than I could have ever imagined! She scouted out unique locations for me in Old Town Scottsdale and did a great job of easing my nerves in front of the camera. I can’t recommend Frances enough for whatever your photography needs are!
