California Elopement Photographer serving: Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, Big Sur, Redwoods, and all around California + Southern Oregon Coast! Hi! My name is Julia and I guide couples to redefine their love story by helping plan their elopement experience. Why I Advocate Elopements: The reason why I advocate elopement is because the day is truly focused on who you are as a couple! If you both like to take hikes together, I think it is important to be able to decide how you want to commit your lives to one another in a setting where you can truly be yourselves. Whether that means bringing your pup or dipping your toes in the water, your elopement day is going to be the anchor of your marriage and it should reflect your relationship. Because you are going to look back at this day on your anniversary and I want you both to remember how you felt during the hike and how it smelled. My goal is for the images to bring back all the emotions and intimate moments you had together so you two can continue on your journey together during great times and hard times.

My husband and I originally planned or started planning a wedding and every time we had an idea, it was shut down by others saying it was too selfish or unconventional. So we eloped secretly in a courthouse and we really wished someone would have told us that our ideas were awesome and they would help us make it happen. But I appreciate this experience because I know what it feels like to plan something so different from the norm and my goal is to help every couple bring their crazy wedding dream to reality! Nature has something that takes you straight to your heart and I believe it is the best place to say your vows! If you agree with me, let’s become adventure buddies!
