DC Elopement Photographer

Taking a sabbatical from photography, but continuing to officiate!

Wife, artist, court authorized marriage officiant, dog lover, human rights advocate, and energy healer.

I started photographing elopements; during the spike in same sex marriages in Washington DC.  Back then, I was on the frontline of the marriage equality fight in MD and understood the struggle same sex couples were facing finding vendors.  So I purchased a DSLR camera, took classes, and the rest is history.

Now I’m documenting elopement and micro weddings for couples traveling from all over the world.  Washington DC is trending; and I’m trending with it.

Capitol Elopements style appeals to those willing to break the rules and those who like things traditional.  If you want a different eloping experience, contact me.   Then let’s hit the streets, turn up the heat, and have some fun!
