Hey, I'm Gabbi! I'm an elopement photographer based in Brookings, OR. I'm a lover of the outdoors and spend most of my time with my dog, Marjorie, off roading, camping, tide-pooling, hiking, and enjoying nature!
Elopements hold a special place in my heart. Not only do they throw out the rule book on tradition and allow you the complete freedom to do what you really want but for people who love spending time outside in beautiful places, it's a chance to incorporate a one of a kind adventure into your wedding day. Despite traveling to 39 countries and 42 states, absolutely nowhere compares to the little stretch of land from The Redwoods to Brookings.
Wanting a completely unique day that's planned exclusively for you? Hell yeah, let's do it! Bring your dogs? Absolutely! Watch the sun set over the Pacific Ocean with private, sweeping coastline views? Grab the champagne! Walk barefoot through groves of towering Redwood trees? I'll go barefoot too! Spend the morning peeking into tidepools finding different species of animals? I'll bring the guidebook and pocket microscope (seriously though)!
Whatever your elopement looks like, I can't wait to help you create the most intentional and authentic day that is perfectly and uniquely you and your partner.
I'm here to help you through the entire process of planning your elopement from start to finish. I'll help with you everything from choosing the perfect locations to creating your day of schedule, to officiating, connecting you with amazing local vendors, and of course photography!
I wake up every morning so incredibly stoked to help couples create their dream wedding in a way and place that deeply and truly represents them.
After doing the big traditional wedding myself back in 2019, I have so many regrets. My wedding day didn't feel like it was about my husband and I, I felt like I planned the entire thing based off the perfect, trendy Pintrest board with my guests experience as the main focus and we were just the afterthought. We made decisions to appease family members and on the day of our wedding, we hardly spent any time together.
Honestly, I knew that elopements existed when I got married. We almost threw in the towel and eloped but there was so little information on what eloping actually was and how to do it that we decided to stick with our traditional wedding. I had all these misconceptions about what eloping really was.
Since then I've fallen in love with elopements and the bravery that each couple displays when they choose to have an elopement and they choose each other on the biggest day of their lives.
I'm here to equip you with the expertise and support to have the day you deserve in addition to an elopement that is perfectly and uniquely you.
Let's chat! We'll be hanging out all day, so it's important that we get along. I can't want to meet you.
Your wedding day is worth investing in - but I know budget is a factor. Check out my starting prices!
