YOU WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT, SOMETHING PERSONAL, SOMETHING OFF THE BEATEN PATH.
And that’s why I’m so thrilled you’re here.
Just like you, I believe nobody should be forced to sacrifice what’s important to them for the sake of tradition, or to uphold the weight of societal expectations. I understand how it feels to disregard wedding day dreams because we’ve been conditioned to think of these events in a highly-structured, singular way that leaves little room for personalization or expression.
But here’s the thing: that’s just simply not true.
I care about helping couples like you cultivate unconventional celebrations so you can have the power to recognize the significance of your story. Let’s design an elopement experience that is everything you want, and more.



Hey, friends.
I’m Ciana – your elopement photographer & planner
Let’s get real for a minute…
It wasn’t until about six years ago that I realized the kinds of experiences and celebrations I now proudly co-create with my couples were even possible, (which in hindsight, feels absolutely mind-blowing to admit).
Like so many young children, I grew up surrounded by the idea of weddings – I saw them in movies, I read about them in books, I even attended the weddings of some of my own family members – but I could never picture my own. The traditional structure of wedding celebrations that society has reinforced for generations never resonated with me, and for a long time, it made me feel like marriage just wasn’t an option for me. Honestly, I thought marriage was a sham. But as I got older and began to explore the direction I wanted to take with my photography, I discovered that there were couples all over the world who felt the same disdain toward traditional weddings and struggled with the thought of, “What do we do? Where do we go from here?”.
My belief about marriage wasn’t actually about marriage itself – it was about the type of wedding I had been conditioned to believe was the only way. When I realized that a wedding could be anything a couple wanted it to be, my perspective shifted. All these years later, I now help couples bring their *actual* wedding day dreams to life. And I can also happily report that my own partner and I plan to one day elope in Southeast Asia, (looking at you 2027!!!) – in the most adventurous and non-traditional way possible, of course.
So, what makes working with me different than any other elopement photographer?
I have over half a decade of experience.
Over the last 6+ years, I’ve traveled to more than 14 states and countries combined to help couples live the wedding experiences they deserve, while documenting their happiest moments unfold.
I only work with 20 couples a year…ever.
One of my top priorities is making sure that each of my couples have the full scale of my creative energy and attention throughout the entirety of this collaborative process. This job isn’t a “numbers” game, it’s built on personal relationships and connections.
I use a refined storyboarding technique.
My storyboarding approach helps you uncover the core of your desires, making it easy to design a celebration that reflects the nature of your relationship. You get the most out of your photography experience with this process because every frame feels like a continuation of your story, (more on this below).
I Hybridly photograph with digital and film.
Through a strategic mix of digital and film photography, your elopement is both documented and visually composed in an artful way that’s meaningful to you. I deliver not only precisely edited digital images, but 35mm and 120mm film scans and polaroids.

“Ciana and Ryan do an amazing job at something I haven’t experienced through anyone else…and that is creating real, raw, genuine, memorable moments through the photography experience.”
“As we started our session, it was not just poses and getting the shots. We were able to relax and create naturally beautiful moments for them to photograph and tell our story because they made us feel so comfortable. They brought out the joy, the laughter, and most importantly the love you can feel through our collection of photos. Their passion for their work brings out their passion for each other. Their energy cultivates photos that have an incredible amount of emotion and depth. I look back at them and can feel like I’m there all over again, reliving it. It’s something I’ve never experienced before through anyone else’s work. My husband and I are obsessed with our photos. They truly deliver the most perfect experience every time. Ciana is so naturally talented and Ryan is her perfect teammate. They are kind, warm, and you become friends with them. We are so thankful!”

Experience & Design
incredible Location ideas fit for your vision
It’s true that some of the most extraordinary adventures happen in the most unexpected places! I combine my personal travel experience, refined research strategies, and your overall vision to curate a top-tier selection of potential locations for your elopement. These location ideas are delivered in an easily-digestible way so you can find your perfect match with certainty.
Personalized activity recommendations
I’ll compile a list of personalized activity recommendations of different scales based off of your shared preferences to make your elopement experience feel epically unique, and authentic to you! Whether you want to traverse the back-country in off-road vehicles, hike up a mountain by foot or horseback, or end your day on a catamaran, I will make sure you find the right high-quality guides and vendors for the occasion.
A custom, built-for-you timeline
Goodbye rigid timelines, and hello flexibility! I’ll help you craft a custom, built-for-you timeline so you can flow into every part of your experience without the burden of performative pressure or stress. Confidently show up to your elopement knowing that every facet has been designed around what you want, the logistics that will lend you the best light, atmosphere, fewer crowds, and the kinds of activities that make your heart soar.
unique styling suggestions
In order to create a cohesive look and feel to your elopement, I come prepared to offer unique styling suggestions that are true-to-you and your elopement location. Watching the details of your experience weave themselves together to display a vivid representation of your celebration is utterly magical – so, whether you need help picking your attire, finding a place to stay, choosing a design for your stationary, (or anything else that falls in-between), rest assured I’m here to help you through it all!

Planning
a one-of-a-kind storyboarding strategy
Over the years, I’ve developed a one-of-a-kind storyboarding strategy so you can clarify your vision with authenticity and creative direction. This tool essentially helps us “connect the dots” to plan and design a celebration that’s incredibly meaningful to you. The storyboarding guide is jam-packed with fun prompts, visual elements, and brainstorming material to start organizing your ideas.
permits & Logistics assistance
From day one, I’ll guide you through every detail of the permit and logistical planning process so you feel fully prepared for your elopement. You’ll never have to navigate the legalities alone – and you can find peace of mind knowing we’re ready to adapt, pivot, or seamlessly carry out alternative plans if anything changes along the way.
exclusive 100+ page Wild Elements planning guide
My Elopement & Intimate Wedding Guide spans over 100 pages, filled with my most valuable insights, thoughtful advice, and hands-on planning tools. Inside, you’ll find step-by-step checklists, expert tips drawn from experience and feedback, and industry knowledge designed to help you plan with intention and trust. Reserved exclusively for Wild Elements couples, this comprehensive companion walks you through every stage of your elopement, from initial inspiration to the final touches on your day.
direct support & Unlimited planning calls
It’s so important that your vision and desires remain at the forefront on the planning process, which means you’ll always have direct support from me, and access to unlimited planning calls via phone or video chat. Schedule additional meetings with me whenever you need to, and know that I’m a constant sounding board for all of your ideas.
vendor recommendations
There’s never any requirement to work with additional vendors or guides, but I’m here to make things easier if you choose to do so. I’ll provide a personalized list of reputable, pre-vetted professionals suited to your needs and the destination you’ve chosen for your elopement so you can assemble your very own “dream team” to carry out your once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Story-Focused Photography
artful digital & Film photography
I document your elopement experience using film and digital photography so you can enjoy both the nostalgic beauty of film mediums, and the modern versatility of digital photos. I integrate 35mm film, 120mm film, and Polaroids into my galleries for a well-rounded, diverse final collection of images you’ll cherish forever.
Unobtrusive, documentary-style approach
My approach is simple – relaxed but intentional, part gentle direction, and part observation – so your photos feel like tangible replicas of the moments that are unrepeatable. I lean into a distinctly candid and earth-centric style, one that lends itself to balancing the ease of unposed moments with an editorial touch, resulting in imagery that demonstrates the profound dynamics of your story. I don’t use stiff or traditional posing techniques because I want your photos to feel the way your love does – personal, authentic, and original to your relationship.
natural, hand-crafted edits
Natural, hand-crafted edits are a hallmark of the Wild Elements experience. Each image is refined with care to maintain clean, true-to-life tones that feel both timeless and cinematic. My editing approach is intentionally minimal, allowing colors, textures, and emotions to remain authentic – seamlessly aligned with the look and feel of my film work from your elopement.
album design & convenient print ordering
Your gallery conveniently boasts direct access to an online print shop, which is linked to my professional lab to make ordering printed goods a breeze. Additionally, I provide a complimentary album design so you can picture what an heirloom-quality album would look like with all of your best elopement day memories inside. You can turn your album design into the real deal, and walk away with a stunning visual keepsake from your experience.
a diverse gallery curated by two photographers
Every elopement I photograph is documented through two perspectives, mine, and my partner, Ryan’s. With both of us documenting your day, we’re able to tell a fuller, more layered story that accounts for the sweeping landscapes, the subtle in-between moments, and the quiet exchanges that might otherwise go unseen. With years of shared experience in travel, the outdoors, and visual storytelling, our combined approach ensures your gallery feels intentional, cohesive, and complete.

“We don’t know if what we want is even possible; we worry that we’ll regret our celebration if it doesn’t align with who we are.”
LET ME STOP YOU RIGHT THERE – WHAT YOU WANT IS POSSIBLE, AND I CAN SHOW YOU HOW.
My role reaches far beyond just documenting your day – it’s about helping you bring your vision to life as a deeply personal, once-in-a-lifetime experience, captured through emotive and authentic imagery. I’ve heard so many couples share the same uncertainty – wondering if their dream celebration can truly happen – and I’ve felt that myself. That’s why nothing compares to watching that weight lift, replaced by excitement and relief when couples realize they can create a day that feels wholly their own.
This isn’t an elaborate photo shoot; it’s your elopement day – a meaningful beginning to your marriage, and one of life’s most profound experiences. While breathtaking photos are an exciting outcome, my work extends beyond that. I’m here to guide you through every step of the process, from start to finish, helping you bring your wildest wedding day dreams to life with confidence and ease.

“We worked with Ciana and Ryan on our elopement and they were a dream.”
“My husband and I can get kind of shy in front of the camera but they brought out such a comfort level with us it felt incredibly natural. There was so much fun, laughter, and infectious joy during the whole time. We also brought our ten month old along and Ryan practically BABYSAT our daughter during the shoot she was full of giggles and smiles. Lastly it started to storm during our elopement and they did not complain once they were just so happy and adventurous. We will 1000% be working with them in the future. Ciana is so naturally talented and innovative and they work together so flawlessly it’s simply perfection.”

Can’t wait to relive your day? With expedited editing, your full digital gallery will be delivered within 5 weeks, (half the usual turnaround time). It’s a wonderful option for couples who want to revisit the emotion and beauty of their day while the memories are still vivid, or share their images with loved ones who couldn’t be there in person. Each photograph is still edited by hand with the same care and intention that defines my work – only on a faster timeline. Please note that expedited editing applies exclusively to digital galleries; film scans, prints, and album products follow standard production timelines to preserve quality.

Heirloom Wedding Album

Having a collection of images that trademark such a meaningful occasion is not only important, but it is a gift you will revisit many times throughout your life. But do you really want to be tied to your phone or computer to relive some of your greatest moments? While technology has become far more dependable in modern times, accidents and mishaps still happen. Don’t risk losing those irreplaceable memories to a crashed hard drive or forgotten cloud storage. Instead, allow them to exist beyond the digital paradigm, and let them come to life in a much more physical way – let them live on in the pages of a high-quality, personalized album you’ll be raving about to everyone you share it with.
Heirloom Wedding Album | $750
