Eloping is about stripping it all back, just the two of you (and maybe a few kindred spirits), standing in a place that feels like you, promising forever with full hearts and bare feet.

Whether you're exchanging vows on a misty mountaintop in Vermont, beside a quiet lake in New Hampshire, or somewhere far beyond New England, your elopement deserves to be documented with care, emotion, and intention.

I want you to see your photos years from now and feel it all again. the wind, the nerves, the joy, the way you looked at each other when no one else was watching.

Think of me as part photographer, part location scout, part calm and grounding presence when the nerves kick in.

Here’s how I help you bring your elopement to life:

I know some breathtaking hidden-gem locations across New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, and the New England coast and I’ll help you find the one that fits your story and adventure level.

“I was a bride eloping from out of state and Melissa was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish! She helped problem solve when things were needing to shift mere days before our wedding, scouted locations for us, and was so sweet and fun to work with. Even my husband who doesn’t love photos enjoyed our time with her and said he wouldn’t have photos if it was always like that! 

We can’t wait to book with her in the future for an anniversary shoot!  I highly recommend her. You will have so much fun on your special day and you will have stunning images for the rest of your days to look back on”
