Your greatest adventure yet

2025 and 2026 elopement & micro wedding pricing

I’m so glad you’re here.

Below you’ll find a quick breakdown of my work, as well as pricing information. Please know that these packages are for general information gathering — if you have a different vision for your elopement or a specific budget you’d like to stick to, we can create a custom package together!

psssst… this is best viewed on your desktop.

From the moment we booked Ayla, we knew we had made the best decision.

“She was so communicative from the start, ensuring every detail was planned and that we felt completely at ease throughout the process. She captured every fleeting moment and detail so beautifully that we can’t stop looking at the photos. Ayla didn't just document our day; she brought it to life in the most beautiful way possible.”

— Jack and Gina

Honest & artful

THE PILLARS OF MY WORK:

aka what’s included in every collection… and why

Film Photography

In the seven years I have shot film, it has never failed to fill me with wonder. Film is about slowing down, the accidental magic. I photograph your wedding on digital and a mix of 35mm, medium format, and polaroid film (or full film, if requested). My digital work is hand-edited with film emulation profiles for the full hybrid experience. You can expect between 25-40% of your final gallery to be on film. 

Location & Planning Guidance

Coming in from out of state? In love with the idea of a Colorado elopement but not sure how to actually do it? You’re not alone. I’ve helped dozens of couples just like you create their dream elopements. You’ll receive bespoke location recommendations tailored to your vision from a Colorado native who has hiked, camped, and driven every part of this beautiful state, plus guidance with permits and planning resources. 

Inclusive Pricing

Your dream of a Telluride wedding in the fall can quickly become an avalanche of nickels and dimes from vendor travel fees and upsells. My business won’t be one of them. Travel, lodging, film, and the presence of my team is included in one flat rate. It’s important to me that my pricing is all-inclusive, and that the very few add-ons you may choose are discounted as a thank you.

Quick Delivery Turnaround Times

When you chose to celebrate your marriage with an elopement rather than a wedding, that meant sacrificing the presence of a lot of folks you know and love — aunts, uncles, cousins, high school friends, college friends, elderly grandparents, etc. I turn around your sneak peeks in 24-48 hours and your final gallery delivery in one month to make sure you can share your elopement with the folks you love, even if they weren’t able to be with you on the day.

If you’re having a nature-focused wedding with a higher guest count and love my work, don’t despair! I’d still love to celebrate with you! My packages are built for smaller weddings to keep things simple, so I’ve created these add-ons.

If you have over 60 guests, a second photographer makes a world of difference. Your wedding photos become truer to how it felt in real life, and we tuck in dozens of portraits of your friends and family.

Do you have events around your wedding day you’d like photographed (welcome parties, camp day activities, Sunday breakfast burritos on the river, etc)? I’ll be there!

Ayla went above and beyond our expectations & her responsibilities.

We truly cannot recommend Ayla enough! She made sure we felt comfortable, happy, and stress free the entire day! Her sweet and calming presence made the entire day more special. We are absolutely blown away by her work. Our photos are better than we ever thought they could be. She is someone we not only now consider a friend, but would book again in a heartbeat!

 Our Process

  • Once you’ve reviewed this proposal and selected your package, I’ll send over a contract with payment information. $1700 is due upon signing, and the remainder will be due 6 weeks prior to your wedding day. The remainder can be lump sum or split into payments.

  • You’ll receive your elopement or micro wedding planning guide as soon as you’re booked! Happy reviewing!

    If you don’t have your location already, I’ll create a personalized location list for you. I’ll be on standby for assistance with any necessary permits. 4 weeks out from your elopement, we’ll create a loose photo timeline and schedule of events.

  • If you’ve booked an engagement session, we'll plan when and where to do your engagements. You'll receive your gallery within two weeks. If using these for invites or pre-elopement announcements, I generally recommend booking your session at least 4 months prior to your wedding day.

  • It’s your elopement day! I’ll be watching out for every special moment so the two of you can enjoy the day. I deliver a preview gallery on digital and polaroid within 48 hours of your day.

  • One month after your elopement day, your photos and video will be ready in a beautiful gallery attached to a print shop. As a wedding gift, I tuck a print coupon into your gallery.

    Need help with prints or albums? I’ll be available to walk you through print types, orders, and more.

wanna know more? Me too.

I’d love to meet you two and hear more of your story, plus do some dreamin’ and schemin’ about your elopement. Inquire here and we’ll set up a consultation call!

This an open space for us to meet as real people — never any sales tactics or pressure to book. Ask questions, get a feel for what it would be like to work together, and put a voice and a personality to this stranger on the internet.
