DESTINATION WEDDING & ELOPEMENT PACKAGES AND PRICING

Wedding and Elopement Experiences Born from Unearthing Pockets of Sentiment and Emotional Connection.

You’re seeking a celebration that reflects who you are, rather than what’s expected. I get it – you want the way you get married to be rooted in intentionality, with your wants, needs, and ideas acting as your “true north” point – and you know what? It should be. 

Every wedding and elopement package is designed to give you more than just beautiful photos – it’s about crafting an experience that feels true to who you are.

Through a documentary-style approach and a personalized storyboarding process, we’ll bring your vision into focus, mapping out the details, (like the when, the where, and the how) , so you can feel grounded and clear about your day. You’ll have tailored planning support, access to unlimited consultations, and a customized, collaborative timeline to make sure every part of your day flows together naturally.

Society has grossly imposed its “one-size-fits-all” idea of wedding celebrations for far too long. 

If you’ve struggled with the notion that a wedding could be anything but traditional, you’re not alone. The belief that weddings can only be meaningful and valid if they’re performed under the outdated, uniform design we’ve been forced to see time and time again undermines the importance and originality of every couple’s story – and that is just simply wrong

Gift yourselves an immersive experience you’ll remember for a lifetime – explore what it means to create something that really feels like you.

There’s a liberation that comes from carving your own path to the celebration you’ve always wanted. Your priorities matter – so why settle for something generic, when you can have something that’s built specifically for you?

I’m Ciana – Your Destination Wedding & Elopement Photographer

To be honest, there was a time when I didn’t realize the kinds of celebrations I now help couples create were even possible. But as I immersed myself in the world of destination weddings and elopements, that belief completely unraveled. Discovering that a wedding could be anything a couple wants it to be was revolutionary — and it confirmed what I had always felt to be true: love should be celebrated in a way that feels authentic to you.

 There are so many reasons couples choose to break away from tradition—complicated family dynamics, the desire to express their individuality, or simply feeling like conventional weddings don’t align with who they are. Maybe you’re struggling to find a venue nearby that feels right, or you just want something more meaningful and intimate. Whatever your reason, I’m here to help you navigate it all with care and expertise. From finding the locations that take your breath away  to crafting a celebration that reflects the essence of  your story, I’ll guide you every step of the way—so you can feel confident that your day will be exactly what you want it to be.

What makes working with me different?

  • Personalized Attention: I work with no more than 20 couples each year, ensuring you receive my full focus, care, and creative energy from start to finish.
  • Ordained Officiant: As an ordained minister through the Universal Life Church, I can legally officiate your marriage in most places, adding another layer of flexibility to your day.
  • Expert Partner Support: My partner, Ryan, is often times an integral part of the experience —helping with logistics, photographing, and behind-the-scenes support to keep your day running seamlessly. We combine our extensive outdoor and off-roading experience to provide an unforgettable experience.
  • Storyboarding for a Deeper Connection: 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.
  • Belief in the Unconventional:  I believe weddings and elopements don’t need to follow a script. Whether it’s a remote cliffside vow exchange or an intimate forest gathering, I’ll help you build a celebration that feels authentically you. I’m here to offer you my unwavering support in opting for an experience that transcends tradition.
Hiring Wild Elements Photography for my wedding was the best decision I could have made.
Ciana and her team were so kind, organized and helpful. She made both my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera when we typically don’t. They also helped us to slow down in the midst of our hectic wedding day and be present with each other creating really special memories. The turnaround time for the pictures was great and when I saw the pictures I was absolutely amazed! I almost never like pictures of myself and I love every picture I saw! Her style and perspective is just so beautiful. I am so grateful Wild Elements photographed my wedding! Truly the best!

frequently asked Destination Wedding and Elopement Questions

SET YOUR MIND AT EASE

Yes. Combining the timeless beauty of film with the versatility of digital photography, I deliver multi-media galleries of images that have been perceived by many as being both artistic and meaningful.

Wild Elements currently offer 35mm film, Polaroid instant film, and soon Super 8. There is a magically unique quality to these documentary formats that give them the nostalgic power they’re renowned for.

There are few things in my world that top the excitement of being invited to explore somewhere new with the purpose of documenting someone’s celebration of love. Although when this happens, I begin a wealth of preparation to ensure I’m informed enough to serve our couples as well as we would in a place that is familiar.

I research everything. If you’re getting married at a venue, I look at their website and social media so I know as much of the space as possible before I ever set foot in it. For any location, I track lighting conditions, noting when the sun sets and rises. I look at weather patterns and climate. I review maps, trails, and any resource available that will make me as knowledgeable as can be for this incredibly special occasion.

Thrilled is an understatement. It is always an honor to be considered with such confidence. If you haven’t already, submit an official inquiry through the contact page, which you can find here. Expect a prompt response within 2 business days after you’ve submitted.

From there, we’ll schedule a call to ensure we’re meant to be. I can’t wait to connect with you!

I recommend booking between 6-12 months in advance. While this isn’t always necessary, I find that this time frame allows for adequate planning and preparation. I do not open my books farther than 1.5 years out.

 However, any and all inquiries are welcome, even last-minute ones. I am always happy to connect, and I invite you to do the same! Find the contact form here.

Every image is a piece of a much larger story that’s unfolding in real time. I make it a priority to observe every detail that surrounds you – your love languages, the environments or landscapes, how you’ve chosen to express yourselves aesthetically, and how you display your values.

I compile all of our observations, and find ways to seamlessly immerse and connect them together throughout the day. It ultimately comes down to being intuitive and discreet, only interjecting when the time is right, and never compromising the quality of attentiveness to the present.

Absolutely! Your elopement can be as intimate or as inclusive as you’d like. My elopement packages are designed to be flexible, accommodating up to 20 guests so you can share your special day with the people who matter most. Whether it’s just the two of you or a small circle of loved ones, I’ll help you craft an experience that feels right for you.
