You decided to skip the stress, trash the traditions, and get married the way you want.
Because you realized that...
- You wanted an authentic, intimate, and memorable experience without expectations, stress, or worries of feeling like you need to put on "a show" for your guests.
- You wanted a day that's completely personalized, unique, and different from the "traditional" wedding day that everybody else has.
- You wanted a safe space to share your intimate vows without fear of judgement from others.
- You wanted a "just us" experience that truly reflects you and your relationship, and allows you to connect with each other and with nature.
- You wanted stunning images of you and your partner feeling comfortable and confident outdoors, rather than stressed-out in a stuffy ballroom.

COLLECT
NOT STUFF.
Because at the end of the day, plane tickets are more valuable than gold watches and late night talks by campfires are more meaningful than diamond necklaces.
As a California elopement photographer, I help couples realize that they deserve so much more than what the wedding industry has to offer, because the wedding industry is filled with stuff, and if you’re already here, you probably agree.
I help plan and capture dream elopements for couples in California and all around the world who, just like you, may feel pressured to have a large, traditional wedding when all they really want is to collect another stamp or two in that passport.

Reasons eloping rules...
- An elopement is an extremely intimate experience that allows you to completely be yourself instead of having to put on a fake persona for those in the audience.
- You can include friends and family, or not. That's the beauty of eloping!
- It's eco-friendly. Did you know that the average wedding produces 400 lbs of garbage and 63 tons of CO2? Elopements have little to no waste!
- Elope and honeymoon in the same destination? Absolutely!
- With elopements, you can spend money on places you've always wanted to visit. Not only do you get a new experience, but you get a new memory as well.
- Sit back, relax, and let me take care of all the planning.
- You can elope at your favorite place in the world, or explore somewhere new. It's the perfect way to connect with each other and with nature!
- You get to completely customize your day. Want to go swimming with sharks or take a pottery class? You can!

I'm Brianna, a California elopement photographer!
And I’m here to make your elopement vision become a reality.
I’m Brianna, a California elopement photographer who had a big traditional wedding, and I can’t tell you how many arguments there were about my day.
I was pressured to pick a certain venue, certain colors, certain guests, and it felt like I was spending thousands of dollars to play host at a party that had nothing to do with the connection between my husband and I.
I don’t want this to happen to you.
I help couples just like you, who feel overwhelmed, stressed out, and disconnected from large weddings to say goodbye to tradition and hello to elopements.
Don’t fall into this trap society has constructed around big weddings. Instead, let’s buy you that plane ticket, get the wedding dress a little dirty, and turn your stressed out wedding day into a carefree, adventure filled elopement experience that you’ll remember for a lifetime.

Clients who hired me as a California elopement photographer
“I originally found Brianna through Instagram and I am so glad that I did! Brianna was the best part of our wedding day! As a bride who is a perfectionist and obsessed with photos, I knew that I needed to find someone that I could trust. I couldn’t have been luckier to find Brianna! She was the perfect photographer! She captured every moment of our day and then some! Brianna is the nicest person that you’ll ever meet and was such a pleasure to work with. She is super responsive and was always open to all of our requests/ideas. Brianna really went above and beyond for my husband and I! She also delivered both our engagement photos and wedding photos at lightning speed! We received our 1000+ wedding photos ONE WEEK from our wedding date! All edited immaculately. It was the best surprise ever to get these during our honeymoon. All our friends and family members have raved about our engagement/wedding photos. Many have said that they are the best photos that they had ever seen. My husband and I cannot thank Brianna enough for all that she did for us! She worked an extremely long day, but never looked tired or stopped smiling. We would highly recommend Brianna and would use her again in a heartbeat. We can’t thank her enough for making our wedding a dream come true.”
