For Couples Who Want Their Own Kind of Adventure — No Epic Hikes Required
The Two-Day Experience
Elopement + Micro Wedding Photography · Film + Digital · Nationwide U.S.
Your adventure doesn't have to come with a summit or a sunrise alarm. It just has to feel like you.
Two days gives us room to chase the light wherever it takes us — whether that's a real hike to a real summit, or an easy walk to a view that still takes your breath away. Adventure is relative, and this format flexes either way
I photograph non-traditional elopements and micro weddings for couples who want their day to be intentional, unhurried, and completely their own — whether that looks like a desert sunset stroll, a coastal overlook, a mountain meadow, a city escape, or a cabin weekend with your closest people.
How your two days work
Fourteen hours of coverage, split across two days that don't have to be back-to-back. How you use that time is entirely up to you — but a few shapes tend to come up again and again:
Getting-ready day + wedding day. Day one is quiet — details, dress, a first look, maybe a handful of portraits in soft afternoon light. Day two is the big one: ceremony, celebration, golden hour.
Two locations, one story. Say your vows somewhere wild on day one, then move into town — or across a state line — for a second look, a reception, or a completely different backdrop on day two.
A travel day, built in. Flying in from out of state? Day one can double as your arrival — a relaxed, low-pressure session while you settle in — with the wedding itself on day two, no jet lag required to show up looking (and feeling) like yourselves.
There's no wrong way to split the time. We'll map out your two days together once we know what they're actually for
You define the adventure — we capture the story
The Two-Day Difference
14 Hours. Two Days. No Countdown Clock.
This isn't about logging hours. It's about giving your story room to breathe.
Across two days — with no requirement for consecutive coverage — you have complete freedom to build your experience however you imagine it. Spread your time across morning rituals, golden-hour portraits, family dinners, quiet in-between moments, and everything in between. No rushed timelines. No cramming everything into a single day.
Here's one way couples have used their two days:
Day One
Afternoon exploration — just the two of you (2 hours)
Pre-wedding dinner with your people (2 hours)
Day Two
Morning brunch with loved ones (2 hours)
Getting ready + first look (2 hours)
Ceremony + family portraits (2 hours)
Sunset portraits (1 hour)
Dinner + dancing (2 hours)
Every couple's two days look completely different — and that's exactly the point.
One day of wedding photography captures an event. Two days captures an experience — the quiet moments before anyone else arrives, the version of you that only shows up when there's no ticking clock. You get more coverage, yes. But more than that, you get room.
Film, Woven Throughout
Why Medium Format Film?
Medium format 120mm film delivers a richness and warmth that digital simply can't replicate. Deeper tones. Truer skin. Soft highlights. A weight and texture that makes images feel less like photographs and more like memories you can hold.
Film also changes how I shoot — every frame is intentional, considered, believed in. That philosophy carries through everything about how I document your day.
What’s Included
A couple flying in from the East Coast might spend day one catching their breath — golden hour portraits still in their travel clothes, no pressure to perform for the camera yet. Day two is the wedding itself: vows at sunrise, a lazy breakfast after, portraits until the light runs out. Two very different days, and one full story.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a two-day elopement or micro wedding experience?
It's 14 hours of photography and film coverage split across two days instead of one — and the two days don't have to be back-to-back. Couples use the extra day for a quieter getting-ready morning, a second location, or simply more breathing room so the wedding day itself never feels rushed.
Do the two days have to be back-to-back?
Not at all — that's the whole point of the format. Some couples space them a day or two apart; others use them for two entirely different parts of the celebration. We'll build the schedule around what actually makes sense for your plans.
How much does the Two-Day Experience cost?
The Two-Day Experience starts at $9,500, with all U.S. travel included and no hidden costs. Reach out for a custom quote based on your dates, locations, and vision.
What's included in the Two-Day package?
A lead photographer and videographer, a highlight wedding film featuring your vows, medium format and 35mm film photography woven throughout, 4×6 and same-day Polaroid prints, florals, vendor recommendations, timeline assistance, and a private online gallery with full-resolution images and print release.
Do you travel outside California for two-day elopements?
Yes — this collection covers all 50 states, with all U.S. travel built into the price. Recent two-day couples have brought me to California, Montana, Utah, and New England, and I'm always up for wherever your adventure actually is.
Can we use our two days for two different locations?
Absolutely — it's one of the most popular ways to use this format. Ceremony in one place, a second look or celebration somewhere completely different the next day. If it matters to your story, we can build it in.
We're flying in from out of state — can day one double as a travel day?
Yes. Many out-of-state couples use day one as a low-key arrival session — relaxed portraits while you settle in and shake off travel — and save the ceremony and celebration for day two, once you've actually landed (literally and otherwise).
Is the Two-Day Experience right for a small wedding, or only elopements?
Both. This collection is built for elopements and micro weddings alike — anything intimate enough to want two unhurried days instead of one long one. If you're picturing a larger, traditional wedding, my standard wedding collections are a better fit — reach out and I'll point you the right direction.
