How far in advance should we book?

For Maine elopements and luxury portraits, booking at least 6-12 months in advance is ideal to secure your desired date and ensure seamless planning.

Do you assist with location scouting and permits?

Yes! I’ll guide you through selecting the perfect spot—whether it’s the cliffs of Acadia, a private forest, or a coastal retreat. I’ll also assist with obtaining necessary permits, so you can focus on enjoying your day.

What if the weather doesn’t cooperate?

Maine’s unpredictable weather is part of its charm! I always prepare for contingencies, whether it’s shifting locations, timing, or bringing along chic umbrellas to make even a rainy day magical.

Can we include our pets?

Absolutely! Maine is pet-friendly, and I’d love to help include your furry family members in a way that feels natural and special.

Do you travel outside of Acadia or Maine?

Yes! While Acadia and Maine are my specialties, I offer services worldwide for clients seeking luxury elopement and portrait experiences.

How many images will we receive?

On average, clients receive 50+ fully edited, high-quality images per hour of coverage, delivered in a private, downloadable gallery.

Can you help us plan a full weekend experience?

Absolutely. From finding the perfect accommodations to recommending local dining, activities, and vendors, I specialize in creating unforgettable, tailored elopement weekends.

What should we wear?

I provide personalized styling tips to ensure your wardrobe enhances the setting and reflects your personal style. I can also recommend Maine-based boutiques and designers.

How do we book?

A signed contract and a 50% retainer secure your date. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your session.
