Elopement Packages
POV: You’re done
trying to please
everyone. This day? It’s finally
for you two.
No more venue emails. No more seating charts. No more planning a day that never felt like yours in the first place.
You’re here to do what’s right for you.
ZERO REGRETS.
You chose to elope, and now you can finally breathe…
And maybe even grab some boba while you’re at it!
You're Not Here to Follow Tradition...
Fist Bump!
You made the Best Decision!
Supported.
Accepted.
Not just as clients, but as two humans choosing something bold, intentional, and beautiful.
You want to feel understood.
You’d rather spend your day soaking in your love language, which is quality time with your partner, doing things that actually bring you joy. Just the two of you.
Not a packed room full of distant relatives and coworkers you barely know.
Not a Pinterest-perfect production. Something that reflects who you are and what your relationship truly feels like.
You want something deeper.
What does an intentional adventure elopement actually look like?
How do you make it feel meaningful? And not just a quick ceremony and some posed photos that could look like it belongs to anyone?
Where do you even start?
But once you stepped off the traditional path… You probably noticed no one handed you a map.
That's Where I come in.
Part hiking guide, part wedding planner, part photographer. Your all-in-one vendor ready to join your elopement adventure!
I know what it’s like to go against tradition... to say no to what everyone else thinks you should do, and yes to what actually makes you happy.
I’ve been there. I eloped too — in Yosemite.
So when you work with me, you’re not just hiring someone to take pretty pictures...
You’re getting someone who handles the planning, hypes you up like a best friend, and captures you like the main character of your own story.
Whether your dream day includes an early morning hike, a starry night photo session, off-roading through the desert, or a family party back at the Airbnb, I’m in.
No pressure. No expectations. No stress.
Just real moments and a wedding day that’s 100% yours.
That’s my vibe.
And something tells me… it’s yours too!
What's Up? I'm Peter!

It’s about the full experience —
and I’m here to plan it, guide you through it, and capture every part of it.

"Peter made our shoot feel so fun and comfortable — the little touches meant everything."
"Peter was professional, creative, and instantly got our vision. As first-timers in front of the camera, he made us feel totally at ease and kept things fun. He came prepared with a full plan, helped set the vibe, and captured the most stunning sunset photos in Joshua Tree. We were blown away by the sneak peeks the next day and how fast we got our full gallery. We can’t wait to book him for our wedding next!"

"We don’t see them just like photos — but instead a perfect representation of us and our love story."
"Peter made us feel instantly comfortable — like hanging out with a friend who just happened to have a camera. He captured real, emotional moments we didn’t even realize were happening. What meant the most was how much he genuinely cared and never rushed us. The photos are stunning, but the experience itself was unforgettable.
If you’re thinking about working with Peter — do it. You won’t just get beautiful photos — you’ll get memories you’ll treasure forever."

So Why Bring Me Along as your Adventure Wingman?
And As an Added Bonus...I WILL BRING THE LIGHT with me.
I bring lighting gear that most photographers don’t touch, and I know exactly how and when to use it.
Because your day deserves to look and feel magical, no matter what the light’s doing. When the sun dips, clouds roll in, or we hit blue hour, I bring the light with me. That extra pop is what takes your photos from great to magazine-worthy.
While I use natural light for most of the day, I’ve trained hard in off-camera flash to add that bold, cinematic edge. Most photographers worry when the light fades. But I actually get hyped, because that’s when my real art comes out!
Whether you’re hiking through golden hour, cuddling under lanterns, or dancing under the stars, I’ll bring my lighting A-game to create stunning images that feel true to the moment and visually unforgettable.
No harsh flash. No washed-out images. Just epic photos that’ll be LIT — literally. (Yes, pun totally intended!)
LIGHTING IS WHAT SEPARATES ME FROM THE OTHERS

So Let's Recap...Here’s what you get in every Elopement package:
Short & Sweet, let's go!
This one’s for the couples who want to keep it short, sweet, and intentional.
Think: a sunrise hike with vows at golden hour, or a sunset ceremony followed by a quick desert stroll.
It’s perfect if you're looking for a meaningful elopement without it being an all-day thing — just enough time to say your vows, explore one epic spot, and capture a mini adventure you’ll never forget.
Heads up: I only take on a limited number of these each year, since most couples opt for a full-day experience. But if you're down for a quick adventure that still hits deep — this might be your vibe.

MINI Elopement
Sunset & Chill Package
Yes, We want A Full day!
This one’s for the couples who want the whole experience — not just the ceremony, but everything around it. From the butterflies during getting ready to dancing under the stars, this is a full-day story that lets you be fully present without feeling rushed.
You’ll have the time to do things your way: Getting ready moments, a sweet first look, heartfelt vows, an intimate picnic, a sunset stroll, a first dance under the night sky, and hitting up multiple jaw-dropping locations together. It’s your day — no watching the clock, no squeezing everything in. Just relaxed vibes and meaningful memories.
You can go with:
→ A single 8-hour adventure — perfect if you want to explore further, hike a little more, or just keep the flow going all day
→ Or split the coverage between sunrise and sunset — perfect for soaking in golden light at both ends of your day (and maybe a midday nap in between)

"We cherish the photos you took and constantly get compliments on them!"
"After our wedding was canceled in 2020, we struggled to find a photographer whose style felt right — until we found Peter. His photos were vibrant, full of life, and exactly what we were looking for. He was kind, professional, and even hiked with us in Lake Tahoe to make it happen. We constantly get compliments and will cherish these memories forever."

"Peter made the whole experience feel effortless — and the photos turned out absolutely stunning."
"Peter made everything feel easy and natural — from timeline planning to shooting. The photos were even better than we imagined, with the soft, romantic vibe we’d hoped for. His wife joined too and brought such a warm, fun energy. We recommend Peter to everyone we know."

Feeling Stoked as I am?! Here Are the next steps.
But wait — can we bring
a few guests? totally!
Okay! Let's Elope!
Most of my couples keep it under 15 guests, that sweet spot where things still feel intimate and stress-free. Just a heads up though: most national parks issue elopement permits that max out at 25 people total (yep, that includes you two, your photographer, and any vendors). The more guests you bring, the trickier things can get — think bathrooms, parking, seating, and permit restrictions — all of which can limit our location options.
That said, if you’re bringing guests, no worries. I’ll help you plan around it so the day still feels laid-back, intentional, and 100% you — whether you’re hiking to a quiet overlook on your own, or clinking glasses with your fam back at your Airbnb.
Whether it’s just the two of you or your closest crew tagging along, I’m here for it.
Joshua Tree And Yosemite Are my bread and butter, but I’m always down to roam.
Okay! Let's Elope!
U.S. travel is always included, whether I’m flying, boating, or rolling up in my camper van like your personal adventure sidekick.
If your dream location takes us beyond the U.S., I’m still down. Just reach out and we’ll talk about it! I’ll research, plan, and scout it out like I do for every other elopement, and make sure all the logistics are covered so you can just show up and have the best day of your life!

California
While Joshua Tree and Yosemite are where I shoot most often (and where I know every dreamy spot like the back of my hand), I’ve also photographed elopements all across California and beyond.
Based in California, but ready to travel wherever you’re dreaming of.
Can we bring guests?
Absolutely! Whether it’s just the two of you or your closest crew tagging along — I’m totally down. Though national parks usually cap guest count total at 25, most of my couples keep it under 15 guests to keep the day feeling intimate and worry-free. Just a heads up — more people means more logistics like bathrooms, parking, and seating, which can limit where we go. But if you do bring guests, I’ll help plan around it so everything still feels fun and easygoing.
When do we get our photos?
You’ll get 24 sneak peek photos within 24 hours of your elopement day. Bonus gifts: instant film photos as well as extra content creation photos + videos Airdropped to you before we part ways. Full gallery delivery in just 4 weeks.
How many photos will we get?
You’ll receive a MINIMUM of 50 photos per hour of coverage — all edited and delivered in high-resolution and delivered via a beautiful online gallery.
What if we have bad weather?
No problem — I always have a solid backup plan. If the weather takes a turn, I’ve already scouted alternate spots that are still beautiful and aligned with your vision. And honestly? A little drizzle paired with a clear umbrella can make for some incredible, magazine-worthy photos.
If weather becomes a real hazard, we’ll talk about options like rescheduling to a nearby date or shifting the timeline. I’ll keep a close eye on the forecast as your elopement day approaches and make sure we’re ready for whatever the day brings.
Do we have to hike in our dress or suit?
Not at all! You can pack your outfit in a bag and attach it to your backpack. If you’re not comfortable changing behind bushes, I’ve got a pop-up tent for privacy.
Do you offer video services?
Yep! I offer simple video packages, as well as more polished documentary films through one of my trusted videographer partners.
What about lodging, food, and things to do?
I got you! I’ll recommend awesome places to stay, eat, and play based on your location and interests. Whether you're into cozy cabins, or have specific food preferences, I’ll hook you up.
What if you’ve never been to our desired location?
Oh, that’s part of the thrill for me! I love exploring new places and finding new hidden gems. I always arrive a day or two early to scout out the area and observe how the sunlight hits at the time of your elopement, so everything runs smoothly on the day-of.
What are your travel costs?
None! All my elopement packages include U.S. travel. They’re designed to be all-inclusive so you don’t have to worry about logistics — just focus on having a blast!
I’m awkward in front of the camera. What can you do?
No worries! I’ll keep things fun and relaxed so you can just be yourselves. Most of the time, I’ll be at a distance, capturing natural, candid moments. When needed, I’ll guide you with prompts and gentle direction to help you feel at ease and looking your best.
