The Arizona Elopement Collective Photography Team is full of passionate photographers who capture moments so you can stay in them. We create art out of real people. We prompt, guide, and document the day as it unfolds. Every photo on the website is a real wedding with real couples that we’ve created and been a part of. This is all a collaboration! We get to celebrate you during the most transformational day of your relationship!

A glance at our work…

We choose to work with soul mates who are authentic, adventurous, joyful, and PUMPED to get married! We believe in creating an authentic wedding experience that is tailored to your personality, love story, and vision for your wedding day. We believe in the power of connection, so the first step in our process is to schedule a video consultation after filling out our contact form. This gives us a snapshot of who you are, what you envision for your day, and usually causes Shelby and I to have a mini dance party! If we decide you are the right fit for us, we will email over a Custom Invoice + Agreement, have you submit your deposit, and then we enter the “Discovery Phase” of our planning process. We can’t WAIT to meet you!!

Since everything is all-inclusive, some couples choose to be flexible with their wedding date and send us multiple date options. We believe in being available and present for the clients that we do work with.

Depending on the package you choose, an initial deposit of $1,500-$2,000 is due at the signing of your agreement to reserve your date. The remaining balance can be split up into monthly payments or 2-3 installments, with the full balance due 30 days prior to your special day.

We only work with vendors that we know and trust. This ensures that YOUR wedding day will be full of good vibes from the moment you wake up to get your hair + makeup done to the moment you’re sharing your first dance among the views of your choice. We believe in creating a sacred and beautiful experience, and part of that is being very selective with who we allow into the ceremony space.

Absolutely! We’ve been very intentional about creating packages that include everything you need for your day; however, some couples choose to add Videography, additional Photography, additional Floral, Hair and Makeup for additional people, limos, party busses, luxury picnics, champagne toasts, etc. Everything we do is completely customizable, so we can truly make anything happen for you!

Our mantra for photography is: “Capturing Moments so You Can Stay In Them.”

Our team does a lot of “prompting” versus posing and views photo sessions as joyful experiences! We love people who think they’re awkward. You’re usually the best at being real, authentic, and just really fun to be around! You do you…enjoy each other! We also offer engagement photos so you can get use to being in front of the camera and make really fun connections with your photographer. You guys can choose somewhere adventurous, or just hit up a coffee shop/your favorite microbrewery. From an evening in the city, to wandering in the desert, to wading through streams, to hiking to somewhere epic, we’re down to wander with you and capture magical moments. And we promise it won’t be as awkward as you think!

Our focus is on creating an intimate and unforgettable Ceremony. The cost of dinner and reception are not included in any of our package pricing.

For our Elopement Packages, we do make suitable dining recommendations and reservations on your behalf. We get to know you well enough to make recommendations that we know you’ll enjoy. Some of our couples even have us hire a private chef to cook dinner for them at their Air Bnb.

Our intention is to create the perfect Ceremony space and capture moments so you can stay in them.

Of Course! I love thinking outside the box on these! Some of the favorite ones I’ve done include mixing a favorite cocktail, tying a Celtic Knot, and building a rock cairn! Oh! And this one time a family of five throwing paint on a canvas! Your unity ceremony, if you decide to have one, should bring out your own flavor!

Some couples who come to us already have an ideal location. If that’s not you, don’t worry! Picking the right location is part of what you hire us to do. During the “Discovery Phase” we go over all the locations and get an idea of what you really want your scenic backdrop to look like. For the impatient, you can check out our IG for some location inspiration!
