[for The Kind of people who] want the air, the light, and the person they love most
documentary vermont elopement photography
You’re craving a day that feels like you. No schedules that swallow the hours, no rooms full of expectation. Just the two of you (maybe a few loved ones) and the landscape you’ve chosen to mark the start of your life together.
You want a photographer who notices the little gestures — hands finding each other, quiet laughs, fleeting glances — so your photos don’t just show the day, they feel it.
Your elopement unfolds in wild spaces, where sunlight drapes over mountaintops, rivers rush in the background, and the wind carries the quiet laughter between you.
It’s not about posed moments — it’s about the small, fleeting gestures that make your day yours: hands brushing while you walk through tall grass, a glance shared across a rocky ledge, the way the light catches a smile or the tip of a hat.
I move gently through it all, capturing the textures, the colors, the movement, and the feeling — so that when you look back at your photos, you aren’t just seeing the day, you’re stepping right back into it: into the crisp air, the warmth of a touch, and the wild, beautiful life of your love,

I’ll share my intimate elopement guide so you can see exactly how I work, what’s included in each package, and how we can make this day feel like yours. We'll hop on a call to make sure we're a good fit, I'll answer your initial questions, and then the ball is in your court.

Before we talk shot lists or schedules, I want to know you.
Your Elopement Story Canvas covers the in-depth details — where you'd like to stay, if you'd like a morning or evening vibe, who (if anyone) will be in attendance — but it also takes us deeper. I want to hear how you met, the way you love to spend a slow Sunday together, the little quirks that make your relationship yours. What inspires you right now. The places and moments you’re most excited for.
Because your elopement isn’t just an event; it’s a chapter in the story you’ve been writing together. The more I know that story, the better I can tell it — in a way that feels honest, personal, and completely yours.

Every couple is different, and your final gallery can reflect that in all kinds of intentional, beautiful ways.
Want the timeless feel of 35mm film? A few Polaroids you can tuck into a coffee table book or stick on the fridge? Super 8 video that feels like a memory you can watch [and rewatch]? This is the moment to make it yours.
We’ll talk through the optional add-ons available — from analog formats to custom albums — and shape the experience around what you’re drawn to. It’s never about more for the sake of more — it’s about choosing what helps you feel seen, remembered, and reflected.

Once your Elopement Story Canvas is in, I’ll use it to craft a timeline that gives your day a natural flow and takes your ideal locations, travel time, and other events into account — with space for real moments, not just a schedule.
I’ll send over a draft we can workshop together, making sure it feels right for you.
Then we’ll set up a final timeline call to tie up any loose ends, so when the day comes, you can simply be in it.

This is the day you’ve been imagining — not for the perfection of it, but for the life you’re stepping into together. Every laugh, every whispered word, every quiet glance between you will pass in a heartbeat. I’m here to capture it all: the small, unplanned moments, the fleeting gestures, the joy that bubbles up before anyone even notices.
We'll move through your day at the pace it deserves. No staged perfection, no checklist stress — just the story of you two, unfolding naturally. And when you look back on your photos, you won’t just remember that it happened; you’ll feel it again, in full, in the air, in the light, and in the hearts of everyone who loved you into this day.

About 6-8 weeks after your elopement, you’ll receive your gallery — a full story in images, curated and delivered right to you. (I'll always send a little sneak peek before that so you have a few to post, print, and share while you wait!)
I'll send a link to your final gallery, which includes your edited images, full download and printing rights granted, an online print shop, and a link you can share with loved ones. Alongside your gallery, I’ll send my Photo Storage & Cropping Guide to help you protect, share, and print your images.
This is your gentle nudge to take the next step: print what you love. Design an album, organize frames on your wall, get creative. I have lots of resources to help you with this and I also offer custom-designed heirloom albums that bring your wedding day to life in a way you can hold.

field notes
Becoming a mother transformed the way I see and photograph the world — with a slowed-down feel focused on the sensory story of a life well-lived and even-more-loved.
I photograph the loose curl, the soft thunder of little feet, the vows said through tears with your toes in the moss.
This is not curated perfection. This is memory made visible.

My style behind the lens: Whether I'm looking for bugs with your kiddos, snuggling your newborn while you change outfits, or exploring Vermont nature with you and your love, your session will feel fun, effortless, and like you're hanging with a friend.
My style behind the image: With a nod to classic film and a vibrant punch, my photography style is a little grainy, a little earthy, and always nostalgic.
My style behind the books: When I'm not taking your picture, I'm probably snuggled up with my dogs, my kiddo, and a spicy romantic fantasy novel (IYKYK).

"Ali is exceptional. On top of the bright bubbly irreplaceable spirit & talent she brings to your wedding day, she is thoughtful, organized, ready to help you problem solve to ensure that YOU feel taken care of."
- M&R
"She made us feel so comfortable while capturing all the important moments...Ali is very professional, spontaneous and full of energy. I am so glad I reached out to her to be a part of our big day!"
- S&R
"It felt intimate and I actually felt so beautiful. I can thank her for capturing one of my most amazing days. She will definitely be there for my future photo shoot to capture more love and laughter as my family continues to grow."
- K&R
Ali was an amazing addition to our intimate wedding ceremony.
We celebrated our marriage at the Formal Gardens on Shelburne farms, and although Ali was familiar with the property she also drove around before we shot to have various locations for recommendations (and drove us to the locations in her own car as well!). Our gallery is filled with...candid shots of genuine moments we shared as a couple–truly a gallery that tells a story of the day.
We are so happy with all the amazing shots and memories she captured on our special day and I highly recommend her expertise and talented eye to anyone looking for a photographer.
- J&A
We hired Ali 9 months prior to our wedding and she was the absolute best!
She really catered to us as a couple, while also adding her own artistic touch to each moment she captured. A photographer is truly the only person on your wedding day you spend the whole time with... Ali really made the day feel smooth, and captured each moment perfectly. She was present and... really allowed us to be our authentic selves when it was just the two of us. I will forever cherish the collection of photos she put together for us and would highly recommend her as your photographer.
- M&S
Ali was the perfect person to take photos for our non-traditional elopement. The whole process was fun and easy (exactly what we were looking for), and the pictures really captured the beautiful spirit of the day. We could not be happier with the entire experience and I would definitely recommend working with Ali, especially if you are looking for really authentic and non-basic photography to capture special moments.
- S&L
From the start she aimed to find a location that met exactly what we were hoping to capture in our photos, even went out and scouted a potential place and sent us photos to see if we liked it or not. It was the first time doing professional photos together, and during the experience she made us feel comfortable and able to be ourselves which led to many ideas we wanted to try out and she was more than happy to play around.
the whole album truly showed how I fell in love with my best friend. I’d recommend anyone in the area to work with Ali!

During your elopement day, I take upwards of 2000+ photos. Then, I work hard to choose, edit, curate, and deliver a final gallery that tells the story of your season of life. You can expect to receive at least 80 images for every hour we spend together (usually more!).

I have my Ordination from the Universal Life Church, which means I can legally marry you in Vermont. This is an optional add-on for all elopement packages. You are still responsible for writing your ceremony and we can talk about what this means for photography during your ceremony.

My typical turnaround time for elopements is 6 weeks on the off-season and 6-8 weeks during the busy summer and fall seasons. I always try to get as close to 6 as possible and I send sneak peeks within a week of your wedding day so you have some photos to view and share while you wait. Your final gallery is delivered through an online platform called Pic-Time with unlimited downloads of both web-sized and full-resolution images. I send an Image Cropping and Storage Safety Guide with your final gallery.

I typically work with couples for the hours that make sense for their day — usually shorter than a traditional wedding, often 3–5 hours. This gives me time to tell the full story without over-scheduling you or your guests.
Elopement packages have a minimum of two hours.

Absolutely. We’ll craft a timeline together using your Wedding Story Canvas, so the day flows naturally for you and your story is fully documented. Add-ons like Super 8 film, albums, or extra hours can be woven in at any point.

Because I offer shorter packages and do my best to customize coverage based on your needs and vision, engagement sessions are not included in my elopement packages. That said, many of my couples choose to add an engagement session to their package. It gives us time to get to know each other in real life and gives you an opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day.

If you're planning to get married during the busy season (May-October), reach out as soon as possible, as these months can fill over a year in advance.
That said, I'm very intentional with who I work with and how many weddings and elopements I take each year (6-8), so it is always worth reaching out, as I typically have more availability than photographers who prefer to fill their full May-October calendar.

I'll use the information you share in your Elopement Story Canvas to build an initial timeline draft. Then, we'll workshop it together and get on a Final Timeline Call to finalize your timeline before your big day.
We'll also work together to build a list of family photographs and other guest combinations so they're on my radar throughout the day (if applicable).

Rain isn’t a problem — it often creates some of the most intimate, beautiful photos. I’ll work with you to adapt and find the light, the shelter, or the perfect moments no matter the weather.
