"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!"
-Dayle & Quinn
"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."
-Alex & Ted
"I cannot rave enough about my experience with Desiree Dube Photography! From the moment we met, Desiree made me feel so at ease!! It truly felt like I was just hanging out with a friend who also happens to be insanely talented behind the camera. 🤭 I’ve never been totally comfortable in front of a lens, but her calm, warm, and playful energy made all of that melt away."
-Gabby & Hunter
"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!"
-Danielle & Eli
"She didn’t just capture our day, she managed to make every photo feel like a memory. The candid laughs, the emotional vows, the quiet in-between moments we didn’t even realize were happening, she caught it all with such authenticity and artistry. Her eye for detail and ability to make us feel comfortable and ourselves in front of the camera made all the difference. The entire experience felt effortless and joyful."
-Elaine & Nate

My planning assistance includes providing advice and recommendations for your elopement day. From there, you would decide on your final locations, activities, and vendors. Then you would book and reserve independently.
As we are planning your elopement, we will think through some back up locations and activities in case of inclement weather. If it is just sprinkling day of, we can likely continue on as normal. In case of more severe weather, we will work together to pivot.
Yes, I am happy to hike with you on your elopement day! I am able to accompany you on up to a half-day (4 hour) hike. If you have something longer in mind, please let me know and I can let you know if it will be possible for me to accompany you.
Yes! You can have up to 15 additional people at your elopement ceremony and celebration. If you would like to include more people in your day, however, I would recommend a photographer who specializes in weddings.
