Destination Elopement Photographer | Your Dream Location, Your Perfect Day, My Obsessive Planning
A different experience that's real, raw and authentically captured
Destination elopement photography + full planning for couples who want to ditch the 200-person guest list and go do something that actually feels like them. Mountains, canyons, beaches, glaciers — wherever your heart lands, I'll meet you there with a plan, a camera, and enough energy to hike to the best view on the planet.
You Pick the Place. I'll Handle Everything Else.
When you're standing on the rim of a canyon at sunrise with the person you love, about to say the most important words of your life, and there's nobody else around for miles? That's a feeling you can't get in a ballroom. That's a feeling you'll carry for the rest of your life.
I've spent nearly two decades chasing that feeling for my couples. I've taken a helicopter to a glacier in Alaska. I've navigated flash floods in the Texas desert. I've shot on black sand beaches in the Caribbean. I've hiked into canyons at 4am in pitch dark next to wildlife that I'm very grateful decided not to eat me.
And I don't just show up and point a camera. I plan the whole thing. Location scouting, timeline, permits, vendor coordination, weather backup plans, activity planning. By the time your elopement day arrives, all you have to do is show up, be present, and marry your person. I handle literally everything else.
With me, your wedding day becomes a reflection of who you are as a couple, not a reflection of tradition or others' expectations.
Here's what 20 years of photographing elopements in the wildest places on earth has taught me: the location matters. Not because of how it looks in photos (although yes, it will look insane) — but because of how it makes you FEEL.

Where Should We Go for your elopement?
Texas adventure elopements
Palo Duro Canyon - The second largest canyon in America. Sunrise colors that look fake but aren't. Right in my backyard and I know every inch of it.
Big Bend - Desert mountains, dark skies, and the kind of silence that makes your vows echo. Remote, rugged, and absolutely worth the drive. I'm there all the time.
The American West Elopements
PACIFIC NORTHWEST + CALIFORNIA elopements
Beach Elopements, Resort Elopements + Islands Elopements
EUROPE Elopements + BEYOND
Alaska Elopements- Glaciers. Mountains. Helicopter rides to places no one else can reach. The most dramatic backdrop on earth. Paired with Bears, Beats + Battlestar Galactica. Or Maybe just whales, moose, bears at salmon run if you're not into The Office ;)
Colorado Elopements - Fourteeners, alpine lakes, golden aspens. The classic mountain elopement for a reason.
Montana Elopements- Big sky, bigger silence. Glacier country without the crowds.
Glacier National Park Elopements - Turquoise lakes and mountain goats as wedding guests. Going-to-the-Sun Road says it all.
Utah Elopements- Red rock, slot canyons, and vows on another planet.
New Mexico Elopements- High desert, adobe light, and White Sands at golden hour. From Red River elopements all the way to Taos, Angel Fire and Eagle Nest
Washington Elopements - Moody coastlines, mist, and mountains that show off. If you want romance with an edge, the PNW delivers.
Oregon Elopements - Waterfalls, sea stacks, black sand. The whole state is a backdrop.
California Redwoods Elopements - Thousand-year-old trees towering hundreds of feet above you. Cathedral light through ancient canopy.
Hawaii Elopements - Volcano cliffs, jungle waterfalls, and barefoot vows.
Destin, Florida Elopements - Sugar-white sand and emerald water without the passport.
Barbados Elopements- Turquoise water, coral stone cliffs, golden sunsets. Caribbean romance without the cruise ship crowds.
Riviera Maya Mexico Elopements - Cenotes, ruins, and that Caribbean blue.
Resort elopements- Getting married at an all-inclusive, like Sandals? You can bring your own photographer, and you should. Here is how to make the resort say yes and not have to pay extra!
Iceland Elopements- Waterfalls, glaciers, black sand beaches, Northern Lights. The most otherworldly landscape on earth and yes, you can legally get married there.
Scotland Elopements- Castles, lochs, and highlands that make kilts make sense.
Ireland Elopements- Forty shades of green and cliffs that drop into the Atlantic.
Switzerland Elopements- Trains to the top of the world. Alps, meadows, and lakes that look photoshopped in person.
Italy Elopements- Dolomite peaks or Amalfi cliffs. Either way, the food alone is worth eloping for.
Greece Elopements- White villages, blue domes, island sunsets.
Faroe Islands Elopements- The place nobody can find on a map and nobody ever forgets.

What Is an Elopement, Actually?
More Than your traveling Photographer
From the moment you book, I'm building your day. Location scouting (virtual or in-person), permit research, timeline creation, vendor recommendations for your destination (officiants, florists, hair + makeup), lodging suggestions, activity planning. You get a custom elopement blueprint that covers every detail so nothing falls through the cracks.
Planning and Logistics
I handle my own logistics — flights, lodging, rental car, meals. Your investment includes a transparent travel fee with no hidden costs. For domestic destinations, this is a flat rate. For international, I'll give you a custom quote based on location.
A full gallery of professionally edited images that tell the complete story of your day — not just the pretty posed ones, but the real ones. The laugh that came out of nowhere. The tear you didn't know anyone saw. The way you looked at each other when you thought nobody was watching.
Why Trust Me With the Most Important Day of Your Life?
- 20+ Years
- 800+ Sessions
- 200+ Publications
- 6+ Destinations Across 4 Countries

I'm not telling you this to impress you. I'm telling you because when you're trusting someone to fly across the country — or across the ocean — to document the biggest day of your life, you deserve to know they've done this before, they've done it well, and they've earned the trust of hundreds of couples before you.

Brit made our day so meaningful. I had a lot of unnecessary anxieties about this day, and I needn't have worried. Brit gave us the most beautiful photos I could have ever asked for. She was funny and brilliant during the whole shoot. She feels like family now! Do not hesitate to book her!
I'm tearing up as I write this review.
Real elopements
Brittney was an absolute pleasure to work with and such a joy to have to capture our special day. Their energy made the whole experience really fun and we felt so at ease on and off camera. You can tell they love their craft whenever they both take a shot and get giddy at the outcome which in turn makes you feel that much more excited and happy that you decided to have these memories captured. The best parts of the day were some of the unplanned and impromptu parts like the bumpy and exhilarating jeep ride, hiking down the canyon to find our jeep and discovering the coolest spots along the way, and the hilarious and spur-of-the-moment photo shoot with a herd of cattle. We were laughing and smiling the whole day and loved the go with the flow attitudes of Brittney (as well as our awesome driver, Case). Just wonderful people you want to be friends with and their work and dedication to capturing your special memories is evident to anyone. We would work with them again in a heartbeat!

Brit Nicole is so AWESOME!!! She was very thorough with planning our elopement. We really appreciate her giving us timeline and suggestions to make our wedding more special. And on the day of our wedding, they brought us cupcakes! 😊 They are very professional and very responsive to all our inquiries. They are so easy to work with and they definitely make everything easy. If you’re awkward in posing in front of the camera, like us, don’t you worry, Brits got you! We are very pleased with everything!

Got hitched in Big Bend and got shots at several locations. She's got amazing energy, will run to get the right shot, and can herd a group of people like a pro. She got the timing perfect for the best lighting during the ceremony!
One of a kind experience.

Brittney did an absolutely PHENOMENAL job!!! From start to finish she was on top of everything and made us feel like we knew exactly what to expect. She handled all the behind the scenes work to make our day nothing short of amazing and a memory we will never never forget. On the morning of our elopement she helped us feel comfortable- even though we were both a little camera shy AND not necessarily morning people (lol). Her creative vision for locations and positioning was on point all morning and her extremely happy, chipper and spunky personality only made the morning all that much more fun!! I would hands down recommend Brit Nicole Photography for anyone who wants an out of this world experience with a highly skilled and fun to be around photographer!!
A memory we will never forget
Real elopements
As I reflect back on our elopement day, there are so many positive things that come to mind! Brit is truly exceptional at what she does.
She curated the perfect carefree day for us in PDC. We started off bright an early at 5am with starry night shots and ended our day at Taco Villa eating heart shaped nacho chips! Brit is such a positive energy to be around, and it was so easy to joke, play, and be truly ourselves. Her honesty and real time feedback on poses and positioning was so appreciated as well! She made sure any potential family drama didnt interfere (with the best safe word - MUSKRAT!). Brit made everything so easy, and I could just focus on marrying my person.
The day was simply magical. I highly recommend Brit and her team!

Real elopements
Brit made it feel like we were working with a friend rather than someone we hired. Our wedding day was fraught with bad luck (storms, trail closures, us sending the wrong directions to the house - oops), and she managed to make the whole thing exceed expectations. She really put the focus on us and what we wanted. It felt like she wanted nothing more than to give us a perfect day that matched our unique personality. I cannot recommend her enough.
She wanted nothing more than to give us the perfect day

Brit Nicole Photography was easily one of the best decisions we made for our elopement. We wanted a simple and stress-free elopement and she captured it beautifully! She is professional but also really down to Earth and so easy to get along with. She fit right in with our small group of family and friends. Our pictures are absolutely stunning, we can't even narrow it down to a few favorites because they are all so beautiful and unique. She captured the day perfectly. Not many photographers will hike up at 4 o'clock in the morning in bear and mountain lion country to take sunrise photos but she did with no question, she even encouraged it! You seriously can't go wrong with Brit Nicole Photography.

Your Adventure Starts With a Conversation
Tell me where you want to go — or tell me you have no idea and want help figuring it out. Either way, let's talk. No pressure, no sales pitch. Just two people geeking out about epic locations and big love.
Worth Remembering
an experience
Flights, lodging, and rental car.. I give you a transparent, flat number before you book so there are zero surprises. For popular domestic destinations, I have standard travel rates. For international locations, I'll provide a custom quote based on the specifics.
What's included in the travel fee?
Nope. A lot of my couples come to me with a vibe , "mountains," "beach," "somewhere remote" and we figure out the perfect spot together. That's one of my favorite parts of the job. If you DO have a location in mind, even better. Either way, we'll find your place.
Do I need to have a location picked before I contact you?
For destination elopements, 6-12 months is ideal. That gives us time to plan properly, secure permits, and coordinate vendors in your destination. That said, I've pulled together incredible elopements in as little as 6 weeks. If you're on a tight timeline, reach out let's see what's possible.
How far in advance should we book?
Wedding Photography FAQs.
Absolutely. Your elopement can be just the two of you, or you can bring your parents, your best friends, your dog, your 20 favorite people. It's YOUR day. I've shot elopements with 2 people and elopements with 40. The only thing that changes is the timeline and we'll plan for that.
Can we invite guests?
I always have a backup plan. After 20 years I've navigated flash floods, surprise snowstorms, 50mph wind, and Texas heat that could melt a camera, and yes, even hail and tornado warnings. Some of my most dramatic, unforgettable images were shot in "bad" weather. Rain, fog, snow it all makes for incredible photos. We'll have a Plan B (and usually a Plan C), and I'll keep you informed every step of the way.
What if the weather goes sideways?
That's actually one of my favorite scenarios. I'll research the location inside and out, best ceremony spots, best light, permit requirements, trail conditions, lodging options, local vendors, and build you a complete guide so you can show up and just be present. You don't need to do any of the homework. That's what I'm here for.
I've never been to the place I want to elope. Is that okay?
