ELOPEMENT + CIVIL CEREMONY
PHOTOGRAPHER
IN THE NATIONAL CAPITOL REGION
Welcome to the sweetest corner of elopement and civil ceremony photography in the Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) area — where tiny weddings become BIG stories.
If you dream of laughing under the cherry blossoms, twirling in a courthouse courtyard, or sealing your love at sunset on a quiet patch of Virginia meadow, you’re in the right place.
Why Elopements Are the Best Kind of Adventure
Elopements and civil ceremonies are a beautiful rebellion against the ordinary.
No timelines jam-packed with obligations.
No Aunt Betty in the front row texting critiques.
Just the two of you (or three… or four with your dog), choosing a moment that feels true and you, and celebrating it in a way that feels joyful.
In the National Capitol Region (DC, Maryland, Virginia) we get to play with historic backdrops, dreamy nature scenes, and charming urban corners.
Meaning: your elopement can be epic — even if it’s tiny.
“We didn’t want our day to feel like a production.
We wanted it to feel like us. From the very beginning, Nicole understood that.
Our ceremony was small, quiet, and deeply personal, and somehow she captured all of it without ever making us feel watched or posed.
We laughed a lot. We forgot the camera was there.
At one point, I remember thinking, this feels easy, which is not something I expected to feel on a wedding day.
When we got our gallery back, it felt like reliving the day instead of just looking at photos of it.
The in-between moments, the way we kept reaching for each other, the calm that settled in once it was official.
Nothing felt forced. Nothing felt overdone. It was honest and beautiful in a way we didn’t know how to ask for, but she gave us anyway.”
