Where intimate moments unfold
like a dream
Intimate elopements for love stories filled with magic
Here in Vermont, we love to do things a little differently. If a traditional wedding day never felt like the right way to marry your favorite person, an elopement is a beautiful experience that can hold even more meaning, intimacy and adventure.
As your elopement photographer, I'll help you plan an day that celebrates the real you. Through a detailed planning process and extensive knowledge of the most beautiful places in Vermont, let's create a day that's completely custom to you and your interests—without the stress of a traditional wedding.
I'm here to document those intimate and quiet moments that you and your life partner share together. Whether it's a small gentle touch or a tearful exchange of vows, I'll ensure that every moment of your elopement day feels like pure magic.

Creating a magical elopement experience
What if instead of getting married at a stuffy venue with templated, cookie cutter experiences, you chose your own path for your day? What if you woke up with your best friend, had a day filled with all of your favorite things, went on an amazing adventure, and got married in the midst of it all?
Whether it's going for a sunrise paddle on the lake, or a sunset hike to an intimate ceremony with your favorite people, I'm here to help you bring your vision to life.
Together, let's dream up a creative vision that truly aligns with who you are and what you're passionate about, with the people you love most.
"Danielle documented memories that my husband and I, our family, and future generations will cherish forever. Her attention to the most important and beautiful little details, her warm and professional demeanor, and the enthusiasm she shared for her art is apparent to all who have the pleasure of working with her. My elopement photos are stunning, she is worth every penny, and I cannot recommend her enough!"

With an Expert Guide
Vermont Elopement Photographer
Your elopement day is an opportunity to create an intimate celebration that perfectly reflects your unique love story. Whether it's hiking to a breathtaking mountaintop view, exchanging vows in front of a stunning waterfall, or saying "I do" in a cozy cabin in the woods, the possibilities are endless.
As your local guide, I'm here to help you through the entire planning process for your day. From choosing incredible locations for your vows to pet-friendly stays, I help take the stress out of planning by creating curated experiences that match your vibe.
The folks I work with (aka, YOU!) are my number one priority—every aspect of my business is built to serve you so that on your wedding day you feel nothing but excitement, joy, peace, and presence.
As a born-and-raised Vermonter, I spend my weekends exploring every backroad and hidden gem the Green Mountain state has to offer. Whether you want to get married on top of Mount Mansfield, on the shores of Lake Willoughby, or at a location that's totally unique to you, I'll help you discover all of the beauty that Vermont has to offer.
When it comes to activities, there's no shortage of fun things to do every time of year. From kayaking and hiking in the summertime, to apple picking and sugarhouse tours, there are endless possibilities of adventures to be had here in Vermont.
While photography is my main focus, I am so much more than just your photographer. I am the firm defender of your vision, and the experienced guide for your journey.
"If you are looking for that one photographer who’s not going to make it cringe--you have found THE photographer."
I cannot put in words the feelings I feel when I open the gallery for the 50th time this week (and its only Wednesday), the quality, the visuals, the eye for the precious parts of the most special moment of my life so far. From communication that was easy and natural, to the moments of spending actual quality time with (to be honest, almost a complete) stranger who got to see my partner’s and I souls, up to the end result that is what I imagined for MY wedding pictures.
Thank you Danielle, for being a true professional in your work, while staying a fun human that you are. The kindness from day 1, your positive energy the second we met in person, your dedication and true passion to making such a love-filled impact—all these details that made our special day SO SO SO fun and not a nervous wreck, we joked and bantered, shed tears and laughed, we had silent moments (not awkward at all, they were the most beautiful) and we spoke all over each other because it was that amazing. Thank you again for the GORGEOUS work that you do."
I love everyday adventures and taking the scenic route
