Stress-free elopements for the adventurous couple ready to declare forever in the great outdoors.
Your elopement day should embody the adventure of a lifetime– whatever that means to you.
I help curate experiences for all adventure levels, whether you’re looking for something wheelchair accessible or a 10 mile hike in the mountains!
And the best part? You don’t need to know a damn thing to get started. Reach out with a general timeframe and I can help you figure out the rest. I’m an expert at helping you figure out exactly what it is that you want out of your wedding day, and then I provide location and vendor recommendations, timeline suggestions, and a ton of planning resources to help you make it a reality.
Regardless of weather or location, you deserve something special and beautiful. I offer candid and artful photography to help capture it forever.
MEET YOUR
PHOTOGRAPHER
green queen, emotional support planning buddy, & perfectionist– you'll thank me for it!
My passion for photography began early– as a little girl on my family's summer road trips I'd beg for the camera, wanting desperately to be able to look back and remember the beauty that I was seeing.
In a nutshell, these are the most important things to know about me:
• I'm a values-based business. I infuse my passion for environmental sustainability, inclusivity, and social justice into everything that I do.
• I will do everything in my power to make you feel comfortable during our time together and give you amazing photos, no matter your skin color, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, ability, or size.
• My little family includes a cat named Parsley and a dog named Bagel :)
Marla went above and beyond on the day of and made the entire process so easy!
My husband and I are super introverted and were worried about looking awkward in our pictures, and Marla was able to capture the love between us perfectly! She had amazing cues to help us feel less anxious about our pictures and captured the most gorgeous candids I’ve ever had taken. We couldn’t be happier with Marla and her work!! Absolutely hire her, she made the eloping process feel effortless and our pictures are literal perfection!!
