I will create a custom location guide for you based off of what all of your hopes and dreams for your elopement day are. This makes selecting your location super easy. Then I check out the location virtually as well as in person so we'll know what to expect when we get out there on your elopement day.
Getting married on public land may require special use or photography permits. These are usually obtained through the state or national park's office. Requirements vary from place to place. I am very familiar with the permit application process and can help you when obtaining any necessary permits.
We will work together to craft a timeline perfect for your elopement! I take into consideration when locations are more private, when the best light is as well as your personal needs and preferences. To be sure you get to do everything you want on your elopement day!
I'll send over vendor recommendations to help you get your dream team together! Some vendors you may want for your elopement might be; a florist, excursion guide, lodging, officiant, hair & makeup artist, private chef, bakery, videographer, etc. I can send recommendations for whatever you need!
I am ordained in the state of Texas so I can sign your marriage license & make your marriage official in the eyes of the government. I don't speak during ceremony because I am busy taking photos. So you would read your vows to each other, include any other traditions you want for your ceremony and I get to sign your license.
The first thing I send when you book is my exclusive elopement welcome guide. This guide is 90 pages of elopement planning GOLD. It covers brainstorming activities, gear recommendations, packing lists, timeline examples and SO much more. An additional resource for my eloping friends!
"Nikole is the absolute best choice for an elopement photographer! ...She completely exceeded our expectations from the planning stages to our actual elopement day!...She took everything we wanted into consideration and curated the ideal day for us....The day was extremely effortless on our part. We were able to just be present in the moment of our wedding day without stressing about anything. The photos she captured are perfect for telling the story of our wedding day! It was amazing how well she captured all of our personalities in the photos - mine, my husbands, and even our dogs! Looking at the photos puts us right back in the memories of our wedding day and we will cherish them for a lifetime."
- Sarah J.
Choosing to elope means giving yourself space to be fully present on your wedding day, it means having the time to relax and take it all in. It means intimate moments and quality time together. It means adventure and experience. Your elopement is so much more than a photoshoot.
I will document the majority of your elopement as a fly on the wall, with some time designated for portraits throughout the day. I will never treat your elopement as a chance to build my portfolio or get content for the gram. Your experience always comes first.

what clients are saying
"Having Nikole as our elopement photographer was the best decision! She literally made everything so easy! We were so scared about the whole process because we’ve never been in Texas before and the first thing we were going to do was elope! Nikole helped us with each and every doubt I had. She always had an answer and so many great ideas for our day that it even made the whole process very exciting!
Our experience on our elopement day was BEYOND THIS WORLD! We enjoyed every minute of it and never had to worry about anything!! Nikole made sure that everything worked out as we wanted. It was the best day and experience of our lives. One of the things I appreciated the most was her thoughtfulness. We had to start hiking before sunrise and she made sure we stayed warm and cozy by bringing hand warmers and extra layers! She made us feel as if we had known her for many years!
Our photos are the most precious memory of the best day of our lives! She was able to capture every meaningful moment. " - Jahaira V.
