LET’S TALK ABOUT
ELOPING
Imagine standing cliffside or on sandy shores with the love of your life, the wind tousling your hair as you exchange vows during a golden sunset. No seating charts, no elaborate decorations, just the two of you and the promise of a lifetime together. Elopement isn't just about running away; it's about running toward something extraordinary, something uniquely yours.
After photographing dozens of weddings, I’ve come to appreciate the simplicity of what eloping offers couples. The most beautiful aspect of eloping is the freedom it affords you to be authentically yourselves. There are no rules to follow, no expectations to meet - just the two of you celebrating your love in a way that feels true and meaningful.
So, if you find yourself drawn to the idea of an intimate, unforgettable celebration that's entirely your own, consider eloping. I can help you with planning, permits, locations, etc. Embrace the adventure, seize the moment, and embark on the journey of a lifetime with the person who makes your heart soar. After all, love isn't about the size of the wedding; it's about the depth of the connection you share.

KIND WORDS
“Shayla was great! She was the photographer for my wedding and I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer in the Cincinnati area! Her communication throughout the whole planning process and even afterwards was excellent, it was so easy to reach out to her if I had any questions. She continued to kept me updated on when I would receive my photos afterwards and even sent us some of the photos the day after our wedding so we could share them with friends and family, which was great! I absolutely love how they turned out and I am so glad I have them because when I look back on them, I feel like I am able to experience my wedding all over again!”
“It was such a great experience getting to work with Shayla. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, multitasking and coordinating everything, being so flexible when things didn’t go according to plan, and being there to calm my nerves when I was overwhelmed. She is not only an incredible and talented photographer, but is also there for you as a friend. She made our dream wedding a reality for us, and made our vision come to life. Words cannot express our gratitude. We are so happy to have had the opportunity to have worked with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone. We will cherish these photos, and the memories forever!”
