Elopement and Micro Wedding Pricing
Your story, your way
If you're looking for a day that doesn't feel performative where you can soak in time with each other and your people, you're in the right place! As a queer photographer, I understand feeling like traditional weddings don't quite fit your story. I'm here to celebrate your story, your way.
Ready to ditch the stress and work with someone that helps you feel comfortable and confident? Let's connect!
"She took so much stress off my plate during our big day and I will definitely be using her for all of my future photo needs!"
"Marena is so kind and easy to work with! She did pre-wedding and wedding photos for us and they were AMAZING. She took so much stress off my plate during our big day and I will definitely be using her for all of my future photo needs! I really cannot say enough good things about my experience with her and the work she does."
-Erin and Dylan S.
I'm a photographer that leads with kindness (and humor).
It's an honor to be invited into your intimate celebration. Not only do I ensure your comfort, but I also prioritize connecting with your guests. With almost a decade of professional photography experience and three years of wedding and elopement experience, I know how to have your back every step of the way! I'm there to hype you up, joke around, and lend a helping hand. I can jump in and help things move smoothly during moments that require coordination, but I also know when to fade into the background and let the day flow naturally so nothing feels forced.
Dreaming of an adventure elopement with just the two of you? Or a city hall wedding with you and your closest people enjoying dinner together at a restaurant afterwards? Or maybe your ideal day includes renting out an inn for your intimate celebration? Or perhaps a small backyard wedding is calling your name?
If your day includes under 30 guests, I have created elopement and micro wedding packages just for you!
FAQ
We're not comfortable in front of the camera, how do you approach that?
Being nervous or feeling awkward going into a photo experience is SO common! Starting with your inquiry, my process is designed so we can get to know each other so things can feel as comfortable as possible.
Even during the more formal portrait parts of the day, I use a lot of movement based prompts and really pay attention to what feels genuine to you to capture authentic photos.
How do you keep our photos safe?
Keeping your memories safe is extremely important to me! As I'm photographing you, the photos are being saved onto two memory cards simultaneously. Once I'm home, I backup your photos onto two hard drives. I also upload wedding and elopement photos to a private online service.
Do you travel?
Yes! My home base is in Maine but I love to explore new places and I have systems in place to ensure you have a seamless experience no matter where your love story takes you.
When should I reach out to book?
I recommend reaching out ASAP! My books are currently open for 2025 and 2026.
Elopements and weddings start booking out 12-18 months in advance HOWEVER I do still have some room for a couple more this year and next!
Even if you have a last minute request, I would still love to hear from you! It's possible your date is still open.
We're not sure what we want our day to look like yet, can we still chat?
Absolutely! I am here to help you brainstorm activities and locations that connect to your story.
