Hi! Yay, youโre here! ๐ย That means that youย want to become an elopement photographer. Or, more specifically, that you want to become aย successful and profitableย elopement photographer.
If youโre struggling to find high-paying clients and have no idea where to even start when it comes to marketing yourself, let me tell you-
Youโre in the right place.
When I first started photographing elopements, I spent a lot of time online. You see, I knew how to work a camera and I knew that Iย lovedย photographing love. What I didnโt know was how to make a business out of my passion.
So, I started obsessively searching for other photographersโย pinterestย pages andย blogs. I found countless portfolios of work- many with stunning images- but something was missing.
All of these photographers showed off how many elopements and weddings they were photographing, but none of them talked aboutย howย they landed those clients. ๐

You could be the best elopement photographer in the world, but if you donโt have any clients, none of that matters.
There was so much information online teaching beginners how to perfect their technique, but none showing where to find clients or how to market yourself.
So I did what I had to do and I figured it out.
It took many sleepless nights and lots of trial and error, but here I am 7 years later with a high income business that I work part-time only 24 hours of work per month โ not a side hustle, my primary income โ elopements are all I do!
Yes, you heard that right.
I have a profitable business doing what I love and I only have to work 6 hours a week.
If you had told me back in 2014 that I would be here today I would have laughed in your face. But itโs true. I spend most of my time nurturing my plant collection, spending time with my children and taking vacations. And the 24 hours of work that I put in every month doesnโt even feel like work because I truly love my job so much.
