MAINE ELOPEMENTS
Elopements are meant to put the focus on you.Let me capture you in a way that tells your story, intimately and authentically.
Whether you want to hike, go on a stroll by the water, run around downtown, or maybe all of the above, I’ll be there.
UNIQUELY YOU
The love shared between you and your loved one is unique, so your elopement should be, too.
Elopements are more than just exchanging vows and getting a few pretty photos.
They let you create an experience filled with love, intimacy, and intention.
They tell the story of you and your loved one - a story that you’ll be able to look back on for years to come.
They don’t mean cutting corners or “getting married for cheap” - they simply allow you to cut out the parts that you don’t want, and keep all the beautiful parts that you do.
They document a day that you can share with future generations, friends, and family, that let you lead with “and this was the day we began a new journey, together.”
If you think you have to limit yourselves just because you’re eloping, think again! I can help you create your dream day, whether it be within one hour or several.

“We absolutely love our pictures!!!! Easily the BEST experience with a photographer to date!! Janelle is super personable, caring and very talented at her craft. She made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the experience and helped us navigate Acadia in the midst of an almost-stressful wedding. She was great to work with - professional, friendly, and flexible, especially when dealing with our last-minute schedule changes (including a potential govnt shutdown!). Janelle really has the best, most responsive communication. Thank you, Janelle, for the amazing photos and fantastic experience!!!”

Undecided about which location in Acadia National Park you want photos at? No problem - we’ll do them all! Wanting to get some portraits at Portland Head Light but also want to stroll in the sand or jump in the water at Higgins Beach, too? Perfect - we’ll do them both - and even hit up multiple lighthouses and multiple beaches to make sure you get every portrait you could ever want, and more.
