Tennessee Elopement Photographer
Helping couples turn
"What if we eloped...?"
into a day they'll never forget.
Maybe you already have a location picked out and a million ideas. Or maybe you have absolutely no clue where to start yet.
Either way, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
That’s where I come in.
I help couples create elopement days that feel intentional, relaxed, adventurous, and true to who they are together — without the pressure of turning the whole day into one giant photoshoot.
So, you decided to do things your own way and elope... *fist bump*
I’m an elopement photographer based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I’ve always been drawn to doing things a little differently.
To me, eloping is all about freedom (cue the Braveheart scene). Freedom to slow down, be present, and build a day around your relationship instead of everyone else’s expectations.
Whether that looks like hiking to a mountaintop, hiking to a sweet waterfall, or getting married somewhere meaningful like a backyard or even the dog park where you met., the goal is the same: creating a day that feels true to you two.
Hey there, I'm Ashley!

Let's Meet
№ 01
An elopement can look however you want it to look. At the core of it, it’s about creating a wedding day that feels intentional and true to the two of you instead of spending the day focused on expectations, timelines, and entertaining everyone else. The best part about eloping is getting the freedom to build a day around what actually matters most to you as a couple.
what exactly is an elopement?
Nope! Adventure can mean hiking a mountain, but it can also mean renting a cozy Airbnb, exploring a new town together, having a slow morning with coffee, or watching the sunset by the water. Your day should feel like you and have your vibe ... whatever that looks like.
Do elopements have to be extreme adventures?
Yes, absolutely. Eloping does not have to mean it’s just the two of you. Most elopements can include up to around 15 guests. The biggest thing to keep in mind is that location options can change depending on how many people you plan to include — things like bathroom accessibility, parking, trail access, and location rules all start to come into play. Either way, we can build a day that fits what feels right for you.
Can we still invite family or friends?
Yep!! I’m based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, but I’m always down for an adventure. I photograph elopements throughout Tennessee, the Southeast, and beyond.
Do you travel?
Honestly, some of the most beautiful and memorable moments happen in less-than-perfect weather. I always help build backup plans, but I also encourage couples to lean into the experience a little instead of stressing over perfect conditions. Wind, fog, rain, cloudy skies can all be really beautiful.
What if the weather is bad?
You’ll receive a sneak peek within 48 hours so you have something to share with family & friends right away. Full galleries are delivered within one month from elopement date.
How long does it take to get our gallery back?
Ummm yes please. If your dogs are part of your life together, then they absolutely belong in your day too. Just be prepared for me to become obsessed with them immediately.
Can we bring our dogs?
Not at all. My approach leans heavily documentary and lifestyle, so I’m way more focused on capturing real interaction and genuine moments than stiff posing. I’ll guide you with simple actions and movement so nothing feels awkward or overly forced, while also leaving space for the candid moments that naturally happen between the two of you.
Do we have to pose a lot?
Absolutely. While elopements are my main focus, I also photograph intimate weddings with up to around 50 guests.
Do you photograph small weddings too?
