“We don’t want to be the center of attention.”
Then we build a day that feels intimate, natural, and connected, not performative.
Elopements · micro-weddings · photo + video
A wedding that actually feels like you.
Tradition is optional. The experience is not. Start by choosing the kind of day you want — then see exactly what it includes, where it happens, and what it starts at.

What kind of wedding do you want?
Three ways in. One is already planned and priced, one is built around you, and one is a catalog of ideas most couples have never been offered.
One
Easy Elopements
Pick a location we already know inside out, pick a date, pick your add-ons. Everything that is included is written down, and so is the price. No consultation needed to find out the basics.
Two
Signature Adventures
Tell us what you are dreaming of and we will build the adventure around you. Your route, your pace, your people, planned from scratch and photographed the whole way.
Three
The Dream Book
A digital magazine of extraordinary concepts: a meteor shower, an eclipse, the northern lights, a castle, an enchanted forest. Each one has a story, a season, a location and a starting number.

Take the 2-minute quiz
We will help you find your perfect wedding adventure — nine quick questions, and a real recommendation at the end.
Taking care of you
So you can breathe.
“We want this to feel like us.”
The plan keeps what matters and leaves space to let go of what does not.
“What if something goes wrong?”
Weather, logistics, timing, people, missing details. The process plans for the real world.
For the ones a little left of traditional
We will do things your way.
You do not have to know exactly what your day should look like before you begin. There is no one right way to get married, celebrate, elope, include your people, skip the parts that feel heavy, or make room for something unexpected.
Tess helps you sort through the ideas, choices, logistics, and little question marks with a calm hand. You bring the feeling you want. She helps shape a plan around it, then photographs and films the day as it naturally unfolds.
She is the planner and the photographer. The vendors she lines up are booked by you, directly, so you keep control of your own contracts and budget.
Proof in the moments
Non-traditional details, real people, real connection.

The Dream Book
Some weddings need the sky to participate.
A growing catalog of extraordinary concepts. Each one already thought through: where it works, when it is possible, what it includes, and what it starts at. If you want one, you say so and we start building it.

Say it under the Perseids, with the sky doing the rest.

Meet Tess
The steady hand behind the day you actually want.
I’m Tess. I’m the one quietly making sure everything is taken care of before you ever have to think about it. The timelines, the backups, the small details that keep things moving without you feeling it.
I’m the one with the extra safety pins, the calm voice, and yes — the squeaky toy when it matters. My job is to hold the structure so you can stay fully in the moment.
You don’t have to manage this. You don’t have to anticipate every possibility. I already am — so your day can feel exactly how it should: present, steady, and completely yours.
From the journal
Real weddings, written out start to finish.
Where the day went, what the weather did, which plan held and which one changed on the trail. If you want to know what working with Tess actually feels like, this is the honest version.
