Madison-Area Outdoor
Elopement Photographer
Photography + planning support—for an intimate day that feels relaxed, intentional & true to you.
Madison lakes.
State parks—Devil’s Lake & Governor Dodge.
The Wisconsin River. Trails, prairies, beaches—places that feel open, easy, and like you can exhale.
Eloping doesn’t mean less—it means more of what matters.
You want a day that feels like you.
You want a day that feels joyful & relaxed.
Your wedding day could look like…
A simple ceremony outside.
A stress-free, intentional celebration.
Just the two of you—or a few who matter most.
A beautiful outdoor place that holds meaning for you.
Without the pressure of a big wedding.
With the freedom to actually enjoy every moment.
Instead of a traditional venue, imagine this:
→A state park or scenic overlook for your ceremony.
→Vows shared along a quiet lakeside path.
→A meal with close friends gathered close.
→A sunset paddle or a campfire toast under open skies.
Hi, I’m Becky…Your Planning Partner + Photographer
I’m your guide for how outdoor elopements actually come together—shaping the plan, capturing the moments, and keeping the day joyful and true to you.
I step in long before the camera comes out:
→helping you choose a location that fits your vibe
→planning timing for privacy and beautiful light
→creating a simple timeline that feels relaxed instead of rushed
Think of me as the person who turns “something small and meaningful” into a real, doable day. I’ll help with parks and permits, thoughtful ways to celebrate, and ideas that fit who you are—not a template.
Around Madison & South-Central Wisconsin, I help couples design days at places like Devil’s Lake, the Wisconsin River, and quiet lakes and prairies close to home.
Then, when the day arrives, you get to be fully present—while I create photographs that feel natural, honest, and unmistakably you.
