Massachusetts Elopement Photographer

Emotive storytelling for the couples brave enough to be themselves.

Lets write the love story of your dreams

The wedding industry and society rob us of the free expression of our love. Who says you need to toss a bouquet anyway? Forget tradition. Write your own story. Actually, let me help.

GET IN TOUCH

why should you elope in Massachusetts?

For those seeking an unforgettable wedding experience, consider eloping in Massachusetts. Picture yourselves exchanging vows in the historic streets of Boston or amidst the scenic dunes of Cape Cod. Imagine celebrating your love with a seaside picnic or a romantic dinner in a cozy New England inn.

Massachusetts offers more than just iconic landmarks like Nantucket or the Freedom Trail; its true charm lies in its hidden gems and charming small towns. As a local Massachusetts elopement photographer, I can attest to the authentic Massachusetts experience, from quaint coastal villages to picturesque countryside retreats amidst the mountains in the Berkshires.

Let your wedding day be an adventure, one that reflects your unique love story and personal style. Break free from traditional wedding norms and create a day that's truly yours. Whether you dream of a beachside ceremony, a cityscape backdrop, or a mountaintop elopement, Massachusetts has it all.

Escape the ordinary and embrace the weird, the quirky, the off-beat traditions that you start yourself—let's make your elopement dream a reality in Massachusetts!

Elopements are authentic

Elopements and intimate weddings are about you. They represent you as a couple. It is not about putting on a show for your guests. The day is about the unique love between you and your partner. Intimate weddings and elopements allow you to spend the day doing what you love most with the people you love most. If there is one thing about Massachusetts, we are not shy, we tell it the way it is.

ELOPEMENTS ARE intimate & Romantic!

Imagine that you are surrounded by your tribe. Your people all in one place sharing an intimate experience that—trust me, no one will ever forget. You are not obligated to sign a contract at a boring venue just because mom and dad are footing the bill. Let’s escape and create a day that truly represents you and your partner!

Elopements are Presence

This day is about presence, raw emotion, and surrounding yourself with the people closest to you. Your wedding day should be created based solely on how you want to feel. With a more simple and paired down guest list you can be fully present with all of the people that are important to you and enjoy the true Massachusetts experience.

My Elopement day looked like this...

What About Yours?

Do you know how I know eloping is where it’s at? Because I did it. I eloped with my partner in Italy. We woke up slow, enjoyed a cappuccino with mountain and water views. We hired a captain to bring us to a national park with stunning cliffs and swam in caves, we drifted along the Sardinian coast drinking cheap beer we bought at a convenient store. We got ready at our hotel and hiked up to a gorgeous mountain view with a natural arch. We changed into our wedding attire at the top, I wore a dress I found at a thrift store for $25—it was more expensive to get it altered. We said our vows with two witnesses, a mountain goat, and our photographer! We returned and had a four-course meal with local Sardinian wine and danced on a private terrace to Anthony Hamilton.

This was exactly the day my partner and I dreamed of and I planned it remotely from my office chair — I want to help you create what a perfect wedding day looks like for you. I want your wedding day to be an adventure of a lifetime. I want you to let go of boring wedding traditions that we just regurgitate from start-to-finish without question. Think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before, whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day?

What about splurging for some great seats and seeing the Red Sox in your wedding attire? Or enjoying a quiet sunrise over the water saying your vows in the dunes of Cape Cod? How about watching the sunset at a marina sharing a lobster roll? Whether it is walking the historic freedom trail or exploring some of Massachusetts more remote and quiet areas, it is all within a drive, it is the unique thing about Massachusetts, within just a few hours you can be transported into an entirely different place.

As a massachusetts Elopement Photographer…

LET'S DO THIS!

So what is it like to work with me anyway?

I would describe my style as directed documentary— emotions first, posing second. We can always recreate a pose but an authentic emotion only happens once. I am a connector, I love humans, and I love—well, love! I work best when my couples allow us space to get to know each other. This creates a level of comfort and trust where I am not showing up on your wedding day as a stranger, but like a new lifelong friend. I mean.. we are just sharing one of the most important days of your life partner—no big deal. It is hard to for me to tell your love story in a way that is unique and authentic to you if I don’t know you and your partner, so— let’s chat. The vibes have to feel right to both of us!

Let's Chat!

dont just take my word for it…

What past couples are saying

I cannot say enough good things about Danielle and her diligent, talented work at our wedding. As we had a small, intimate wedding, it was very important to me to capture the candid moments, especially the "getting ready" prior to the ceremony, and she absolutely blew me away. She came in, made herself "at home", was completely comfortable with my loud, chaotic family and made sure we were always comfortable as well. She was wonderful at directing us for poses, but also listened to our ideas and checked in periodically to make sure we were all feeling good. (She even cried during our vows) If you are planning a smaller, less traditional wedding, Danielle is a fantastic choice-she is sweet, funny, motivated, open to anything, and absolutely delightful. I can never thank her enough.

Ashley & Joe

Danielle made a nerve wracking experience incredibly comfortable. As someone who can be shy and not like being the center of attention this was a major step out of my comfort zone. I felt relief from those nerves immediately while working with Danielle. She does a fantastic job guiding you with poses, expressions and finding what makes you shine. It was an empowering experience and the photos came out stunning. Thank you so much Danielle!! <3
Doug & Heather

Danielle did an amazing job with our elopement shoot. She made it feel like she wasn’t there in the most intimate moments and was fun to hang with throughout the day as we transitioned between locations or grabbed a bite to eat! Can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking to make their special day that much more special!
Erica & Shane

Danielle was nothing but amazing from our very first conversation. From the moment we decided to elope we had less than 2 months to plan everything in one of the busiest wedding seasons. I reached out to Danielle with maybe 6 weeks until our elopement. Over the course of those 6 weeks she helped me every step of the way. We had to change our plans a few times and were cutting it close with a few last minute things, but Danielle was there to accommodate, offer support, and her knowledge whenever she could. We saw our sneak peeks and were blown away. They captured the moments perfectly in every photo. We can’t wait to see the rest! She is the ideal photographer to work with for an elopement!
Chelsea & Chris

Danielle's expertise in her craft is truly exceptional.
Throughout our two times working with Danielle, she maintained a high level of professionalism and skill while creating a comfortable and friendly environment. This made the photo sessions feel like a casual meeting with a close friend rather than an appointment.
Danielle's talent for bringing out our natural expressions and personalities is honestly remarkable. You can see her vision throughout all of her edits. As a photographer myself - she really is impressive.
Danielle is a standout professional with a keen eye for detail. My wife and I wholeheartedly recommend her services and look forward to future sessions we will schedule with her. We are genuinely grateful to Danielle for making us feel like stars in front of her lens. 📸💫
Jill & Kristina

I cannot recommend Danielle enough. Her fun, yet calming, energy was exactly what we needed to feel comfortable in front of the camera. The weather did not cooperate for our beach wedding. Despite the wind and rain, Danielle was able to capture beautiful photos of our day. Danielle’s artistic eye produced photos we never thought possible due to the circumstances. Danielle was such a joy to work with and kept us laughing and smiling throughout the day. Danielle took the time to talk with us and get to know our vision and she executed it perfectly.

How to Elope in Acadia National Park

A big factor when trying to decide where to elope is thinking about what kind of landscape you want for your backdrop. When eloping in Acadia National Park you do not need to choose between the ocean or mountains, you get both here. It is one of the top most visited National Parks in the U.S. for a reason, but what are some of the more undiscovered spots?
