What is a Wild & Free Elopement?
I designed the Wild & Free Elopement experience around three values:
- Intention | This is your wedding day, you get to choose your experience! This can be just the two of you, having the time of your lives, or your closest family and friends present to share in the intimate moments.
- Nature | There’s no venue or building that can compare to the magic and wonder of mother nature. Your love story deserves the most breathtaking backdrop ever, one that can only be found outdoors.
- Freedom | This day should reflect the two of you, not the traditions of society. We hold space for your creativity and freedom to design an elopement day that is a true reflection of you.
A Wild & Free Elopement
is for you if…
- You want your elopement to be raw and real--not just a quick ceremony and some posed photos
- You want a day so carefree and full of laughter that you can’t help but love every minute of it
- You want to have an unforgettable experience immersed in nature while reducing the environmental impact of your wedding day
- You want a safe space to focus on what truly matters--your commitment to each other
"Joni was a breath of fresh air during my search for the right photographer."

Adventure Couples Sessions
Join me for an Adventure Session where we enjoy nature, have some fun, and make memories together! This is a popular option among ↠ couples who haven't gotten engaged yet but still want to celebrate, ↠ recently engaged couples who are excited to announce their commitment, and ↠ married couples who want to toast to their time together.
THIS IS GREAT FOR:
- couples photos (especially on vacation;)
- engagement photos (don't skip celebrating this!)
- honeymoon photos (fun in the sun!)
- anniversary sessions (and not just the big ones, like 5 or 10 years!)
- bridal sessions (didn't love your wedding photos? Let's have a redo and get a second life out of that dress!)
Wild & Free Boudoir
Do you love feeling FREE, LIBERATED, and ONE WITH NATURE? THIS IS FOR YOU!
Wild & Free boudoir is an incredible outdoor experience that will empower you to love yourself and feel sexy in your own skin.
Join me out in nature where you are welcome to choose your level of makeup (from full glam to au naturel), what body hair you have and how much skin you’d like to show. To honor you and your stunning features, your gallery of empowering images will not be photoshopped to modify your natural beauty.
THIS IS A WONDERFUL:
- way to celebrate yourself and release negative energy
- surprise wedding gift for your partner
- anniversary gift
- excuse to go skinnydipping, tan your cheeks on a hike, or dance on a mountain top!
Eco Friendly elopements
By choosing an elopement instead of a traditional wedding, you are preventing up to 600lbs of trash from entering a landfill! And good news friend-- I am also a BIG fan of our planet and everything that lives on it! You can feel good about working with me because I am plant-based, strive to live a zero-waste lifestyle and I am soon partnering with 1% For the Planet to help make a positive impact.
