Ohio & the U.S.
We're saying goodbye to quick courthouse elopements or big weddings. Instead we're creating a day of celebration that's all about doing the things you love with your love.
Like maybe...
- Going for a hot air balloon ride
- Hiking to waterfalls
- Taking off in a helicopter
- Hanging out with alpacas
- Kayaking on the lake
- Wandering through fields of flowers
- Taking in sunrise on a deserted beach
So let's dream up your perfect day.
You're in the right place
You want an elopement that feels authentic & unique.
Just like you.

As someone who chose to elope, I've been in your shoes.
Hi, I'm Desiree!
That's me eloping in Iceland!
"From beginning to end, Desiree thought about all of the details. She had an amazing creative vision for us on our day. I think she captured our goofy personalities and special moments together perfectly. She found absolutely stunning places for photographs. Also, can we talk about the itinerary and the packing reminders list?! Absolutely loved our experience with Desiree and would love to shoot with her again!"

"Desiree arranged practically everything so that we would be in intimate spaces that wouldn't have a lot of people even though we were in public. We had to keep track of the weather often (as you have to do if you're in Ohio) and Desiree was so flexible and accommodating when we had to move things around from the original plan. She always took our wants into consideration and was two steps ahead with her planning."
Akron, Ohio
-Alex & Ted
"The BEST decision we made! Desiree was thoughtful and thorough when communicating with us to ensure our elopement was everything we wanted. She helped with a packing list, building an itinerary for the day, and suggesting activities and places to go. We took all her suggestions, and it was perfect. She is so easy to work with and took GORGEOUS pictures!"
