The beginning of your Yosemite elopement starts here...
Let's make your dreams a f*cking reality.
You two, the world's best national park (arguably), and the time to take it all in.
It's the chance to be fully present with your favorite person while exploring the peaks and valleys of Yosemite from sunrise to sunset, or sharing your special day with a few of your favorite people.
We're talking about creating memories on your own timeline, surrounded by the best that nature has to offer, and most importantly - doing what you want.
Eloping does not mean you're doing it all on your own.
The possibilities are endless, which might sound overwhelming, but...
I’m Janice
non-traditionalist, adventure bud, logistics ninja
Being a photographer is cool and all, but truly the smallest part of what I'll do for you.
Eloping goes against the grain, so I'm here to remind you and reassure you of why it will all be worth it in the end.
We'll work together to create a day that is focused on you two - and no one else.
Whether you're an early bird, or a night owl, we can hit the trails to see the sunrise + brew a fresh cup of coffee while we wait OR sleep in and enjoy a slow start to the day, but end the day watching the alpine glow as the sun sets on what will be the best day of your life.
At the end of the day, you two (and your puppy?) are my priority to create an experience you could have only dreamed of.

FAQ
Permits are only needed if you are having your actual ceremony in the park. If we are just taking photos before/after your ceremony, it is not needed. However, I will always keep up to date with NPS guidelines in case things change. If you need legal paperwork done, my partner in life + crime is an officiant and always comes to help us out during the day!
Yosemite allows dogs on most paved trails and paths. We'll ensure that if you do want to bring them along, that they can go everywhere with us. Can you imagine your bestie looking at the two of you thinking "my parents are finally married...can I have a treat now?!"
There's a lot of really popular spots for those epic views you see everywhere, but I also have a few hidden spots that are not as frequented by tourists that allow you to enjoy your day without interruptions.
I got you! It's a team effort, but I'll do the heavy lifting. We'll work together to figure out what matters most to you, what you want to do, and then I'll plan it out in a completely customized timeline.
Oh definitely. It is crucial that you stay safe throughout our entire adventure, and hiking boots are super important while we're exploring. You can always bring an extra pair of shoes to switch into for the photos if you want heels or other kinds of boots.
Here's how I make the elopement planning process easy from start to finish...
“janice captured photos we could have only dreamed of"
"When we showed our family the photos, they were absolutely in awe."
“Janice planned the best day from sunrise to sunset"
"She knew exactly how to integrate our favorite parks of the park throughout the day, and helped us really stay present in the moment."

Step 1
Let's start planning your elopement
We'll talk details
On our call, you'll tell me about your dream wedding day. What are you envisioning? What moments do you want to remember when you look back decades down the line? After that, I'll give you more details about what I can offer.
Step 2
Let's start planning your elopement
Take some time to decide
I'm not the photographer who will immediately bother you for a signed contract because choosing the right person to capture this monumental day is important. Take the time you need to ensure I'm the one.

Let's start planning your elopement
Lock in your date
Sign all the necessary paperwork to secure your date, and we'll be ready to roll!
Step 4
Let's start planning your elopement
Go boldly
Whatever that looks like for you: climbing a mountain to the top of Glacier Point to say “I do" , celebrating with your chosen family by Merced River, or sharing private vows in your Taft Point. Let's create a unique elopement in Yosemite that you'll remember for the rest of your life.
