I eloped too, so I know exactly what you’re going through. You’re excited, overwhelmed, and hoping you’ll make the right choices in a place you might not have even visited yet.
What you want is simple: a day that feels like you. A day that is relaxed, intentional, and full of meaning.
That’s exactly what I help you create. An experience where you can be fully present with each other while exploring Hocking Hills.

But that's not all... I have scouted most all the trails in Hocking Hills and save my favorite off-the-beaten-path recommendations for the couples I'm working with!
"She always took our wants into consideration and was two steps ahead with her planning."
"My husband doesn't like to do pictures and he was very nervous about spending literally an entire day being photographed. 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."

Frequently Asked Questions
I recommend starting to book at least 6 months out so we can ensure there is enough time to secure your preferred locations and activities in Hocking Hills. Running on a shorter time frame? No worries, just reach out and we can start planning ASAP!
I typically provide 50 - 70 photos per hour of active coverage. Don't worry, I only edit out duplicate photos or ones that don't meet my standards, so you are getting all of the special moments from your day.
A lot of couples opt to hike in their wedding attire. However, it can depend on what you are wearing and how difficult the hike is. Sometimes couples opt to change once they reach their location. Regardless, you'll need comfortable shoes and if you're hiking, I always recommend good hiking boots!
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 Hocking Hills photographers who specialize in weddings.
Yes! Depending on the location of your elopement, you can definitely bring your pet(s) along for the fun! My location guide also specifies which trails may have special guidelines or restrictions on bringing pets. You'll just want to be aware of any leash laws or similar policies.
