Your Great Adventure of Love
Eloping is about running toward something meaningful. A day that reflects who you are, what you value, and how you want to experience this moment together.
And yes, if that looks like Vegas, I’m all in!
Why an elopement or intimate wedding?
You don’t want a wedding day that feels rushed, performative, or dictated by expectations that aren’t yours.
You want to actually feel your day, not race through it.
You’re worried your wedding will feel more like a production than a moment.
A packed timeline. Constant direction. Barely a second alone together. You want a day that’s intentional and centered on your story, not a checklist of traditions you never asked for.
Traditional weddings don’t feel like you, but you’re not sure what the alternative looks like.
You love the idea of something intimate and untraditional, but you still want it to feel meaningful, beautiful, and thoughtfully planned, not like you’re just skipping the wedding altogether.
You want to explore. Breathe it in. Be present.
And trust that those real moments will be captured without you having to perform for the camera.
About
About
Hey, I’m Meliyah
Christ follower, storyteller, book lover, & your new photographer
I fell in love with photography because it freezes time. It documents what, when, and where in a single moment. There’s so many moments in life I love to go back to relive and I want to give that to others as well! As an elopement & intimate wedding photographer I offer more than just beautiful photos. I deliver a full experience rooted in trust, creativity, and attention to detail so you too can relive the sweet moments.
I’m so grateful that God gifted me with the ability to capture His incredible creation and love! Laughing, chasing adventure, savoring slow mornings, and getting lost in books are the things that make up most of my days. I live to document and tell stories, dive into new tales, and create my own journey. Because at the heart of it all, life is about love, stories, and memories!
What your day gets to feel like
✓ Intentional, from start to finish.
Your day can be exactly as the two of you want it to be. Every part is designed around your story, your connection, and what actually matters to you so you can slow down, be present, and experience your elopement instead of rushing through it.
✓ Untraditional in the best way.
Eloping is fun, stress-free, and deeply meaningful. Instead of a traditional wedding with a packed schedule and long guest list, your day is an intimate celebration with just the two of you or a few of your closest people. You get to focus on your love, meaningful moments, and personal details without outside pressure or expectations.
✓ Beautiful imagery that reflects your story.
I want you to truly live your day. Explore. Laugh. Breathe it all in. While you’re doing that, I quietly capture the real moments unfolding between you. Of course, we’ll create a few beautifully guided portraits along the way, but your story lives in the honest, unposed moments where you’re simply being yourselves.
✓ A day that feels natural, not performed.
Nothing is forced. Nothing is rushed. You’re free to be fully in the moment, knowing your experience and your story are being documented exactly as they happen.
