Frequently Asked Questions

 

+ Your service is so different from what I see others do- what's it like to work with you?

Yes, I am quite an unconventional type of person. I see rules and I kind of want to break them if they don't make sense to me. Once a punk kid, always a punk kid I guess haha

**I saw a problem with how the wedding industry held it's status quo, how publications ignored my unconventional subculture of people, and how planning elopements had a HUGE void in them for the couples.

So unlike everyone else, I draw on my 16 years experience in the industry, my award winning photography skills PLUS my certifications as a life coach to make you feel comfortable, bring out your true chemistry, AND look good. Then, paired with my project management experience in NYC to bring you a truly exclusive experience. **

+ Do you document Adventure Elopements & Weddings outside of Iceland?

Yes, I love to travel! I have documented weddings in 6 countries & you can always find me hopping on a plane. Being an American in Iceland, I also am frequently back in the States.

+ We have not picked out our wedding destination yet, is that ok?

Absolutely! We can talk about the locations that are on the top of your list. Patagonia, Iceland, Norway, Scotland, Yosemite, wherever it might be. Once decided, we will create a custom timeline & location itinerary for your wedding. I got you covered.

+ What does an Elopement day feel like?

Your elopement day will feel like you are on top of the world. It’s a day we have crafted together to make you feel completely authentic & comfortable enough to let your walls down. It does not feel like a long photoshoot. Instead, it feels like something absolutely breathtakingly special. It feels like the world is yours for the day while adventuring with your love in an intimate space. You can be as awkward, mushy, or goofy as you want. These are your vows & your promises to each other so feel free to say them however you want

+ Do you help with any elopement planning & have elopement planning packages?

Hecken heck yeah I do. I am essentially your triple threat- help you plan, help day of coordination, and am your photographer. This is why my couples often refer to me as their Elopement Yoda or a unicorn. I will give you resources to pull together all other pieces of your elopement day & trip, build your timeline, a custom location itinerary, and my inbox there for you every step of the way.

+ Do you document Adventure Intimate weddings with guests?

I do! I document elopements and tiny weddings, usually weddings with less than 10 guests. I will help you with elopement style ceremonies, meaning if you need chairs or a not-so-simple set up- I can link you to someone who can help with that as that isn’t my jam.

If you are bringing some loved ones along for the fun, we can talk about how your adventure itinerary & transportation will work on our chat.

+ We are interested in a cinematic film, do you offer this?

Under my brand I currently don’t offer video filmmaking services. However, I do have some filmmakers I absolutely love, who vibe with my photographic style, and will take as good of care of you as I do. You will get their information immediatly after booking!

+ Do you have suggestions for breweries, restaurants, & day trips?

Oh yeah I do. ‘All-you-can-eat-soup’ is my middle name. I travel a lot and my main hobby while traveling is eating. So even if your wedding isn’t in Iceland, I can still toss some suggestions your way. Because, food.

  • If you booked me for your entire experieince, you will get in the vault of resources many suggestions for all of these.
  • If you purchase the DIY Iceland Trip Planning Kit, you will also get the same suggestions in your kit.

+ When do we get help with planning, I don't even know where to begin?

You get help literally as soon as you have decided which type of help you want.

  • You get help right away, immediatly after booking me as your photographer & planner, you will start to get a vault of planing resources the minute we are official.

+ Do you offer all-inclusive elopements where every vendor is included in your package price?

My service is not all-inclusive in that way for a few reasons:

  1. I don't want to pick who does your hair, makeup, flowers, or videography because everyone has a different style they like and every artist is different with different rates. I don't want to force my couples to have one HMUA, one videographer style, and one type of flowers, you know?
  2. At the time of booking we will not have choosen what area of Iceland to have your elopement adventure in. That comes after booking once we get into the nitty gritty of my location process with you. Some vendors only work in certain areas of Iceland that they live in, so, once we know where we will be for the day you can then hire who you would like in that area.

However, I do help you with hiring your vendors via the exclusive vendor guide of vetted artists I know do EXCELLENT work- but the payments are separate. You will get an exclusive vendor guide for who you want to hire IMMEDIATELY after booking with me and I will help you with the coordination of fitting them seamlessly into your day.

+ Ok, so you talk a lot about planning, you're our photographer too, right?

Photography is my first love. I will be your photographer (award winning. published. all that jazz), elopement specialist for planning help, and then day of coordinator once the adventure starts so you do not have to micro-manage or worry about timiing + locations. In a past life in NYC, I was a production coordinator for big studios, project manager for a major publication, and even a coorporate trainer for a huge-name brand. Planning and coordinating comes second nature to me, so, this is why you get me as a triple threat. (I feel like I should mic drop here.)
