Elopements
Visual storytelling for the wildly in love.
Having a wedding isn't necessarily for everyone. Many couples are choosing to elope due to it being more cost effective than a big wedding, it can be completely private or include the few who they want present and that it can become the most exciting adventure of their life!
Hiring someone to photograph your elopement is an excellent way of saving the memories from that special day for life. If planning your elopement is giving you the same stress you were trying to avoid by not having a wedding, then i'm here to help! You deserve a photographer who relieves some of that stress by prioritizing your vision and providing knowledge & guidance to ensure it is captured.
The good news is, I am going to be there to capture your love story whether it be at a local location, down by the ocean or up on a mountaintop taking in an amazing view. There is no limit to the adventure you want to embark on for your elopement, and its even more exciting to have it all captured as a memory. My goal is to tell a story of the day and its events in the photos I take - so when you look back at them you can relive it all again or show them to friends & family to help them feel like they were there!

Carley & Miles
"Having Mariah take photographs of our wedding day was incredibly special as she captured some amazing moments that we love, all in the comfort of our property. She was able to deliver a great selection of posed, unposed and natural photos of our celebration at home that we will look back on to re-live the joy of the day. Her turn around time was fantastic and her professionalism was exceptional. I would highly recommend Mariah for any events that you would like photographed! Casual or formal!"
Jay & Jaxon
“Mariah is an amazing photographer! She is friendly and personable and made my husband and I totally comfortable! Our photos turned out beautiful, I totally recommend!"
Kelsea & Jason
"Mariah is amazing. She is sweet and kind, and really makes you feel comfortable behind the camera! She is also super quick to reply with answers to any questions!! Mariah did our engagement photos and is also doing our 2023 wedding. These are photos you cherish forever and there is no one I’d trust more to capture these moments than her. She’s the best."

Frequently Asked
Questions
-
HOW SOON WILL WE RECEIVE OUR PHOTOS?Depending on the time of year your wedding takes place, galleries can take anywhere between 2 weeks to 2 months to be delivered. Peak season is between June-September so you can expect any albums during those months to take a little longer than usual!
-
HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL WE RECEIVE?The amount of photos you receive can range anywhere from 50-75 photos for every hour I am scheduled on your day! The fluctuation in number can be due to a few different circumstances including the size of the wedding and the events that occur during the big day. The good news is oftentimes I take and send much more than quoted!
-
WHAT IS THE COST AND HOW DO WE BOOK WITH YOU?My wedding packages start at $2250. They are catered to you to include photography coverage, timeline assistance, & your private online gallery. - Larger packages include a complimentary engagement or anniversary session. - If you are looking for only a couple hours of coverage, let me know and we can look at customizing a package for you :) For booking, please complete my Wedding Inquiry form. After it is confirmed that I have your wedding day available, I will send you a contract to sign as well as 1/3 of the session fees are required to book your day. The balance owing isn't required until 1 week before your wedding day!
-
ARE THERE PERKS TO BOOKING YOU FOR LONGER?I am so glad you asked! Any wedding booked for a minimum of 7 hours will receive a complimentary engagement, anniversary or bridal boudoir session. All other timeframes booked will receive a discount on any of the sessions above too!
-
WILL YOU TRAVEL OUTSIDE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA?The answer to this question is easy... yes, yes, YES. I am so in love with travel and experiencing new locations & environments for capturing weddings that I will be there in a heartbeat to capture your day. Usually when I get an inquiry for an out of province or international wedding, i'm already looking up flights to your location for your wedding date! On that note, I am flexible for travel outside of BC as well as outside of Canada. Send me your dream location and lets make it happen!
