Photographing untraditional love stories since 2014
Specializing in unique elopement experiences for rebellious couples… because you deserve to elope your way!
The search for your unique elopement experience on Vancouver Island ends here!
And if you want even less decisions to make, check out my pop-up elopements below
Welcome to your non-traditional (and stress free) elopement experience on Vancouver Island!
So, you have made the decision to not have a big wedding because it is too stressful to plan, too much family input, the cost and a big wedding does not represent you as a couple!
Whether it be eloping barefoot on the beach or hiking to one of Vancouver Islands beautiful locations to tie the knot, I have you covered. I get to know you and your partner, then we get to work planning your authentic elopement. All you have to do is show up with your dress/suit and marriage certificate!
Working with me means you get:
To leave the stress behind and create the elopement of your dreams
To make decisions from the heart that reflect you and your partner, with zero family pressure
To truly be present in the moment and remember your elopement experience
Beautiful cinematic photographs of your elopement day
Most importantly… you get to have a blast through the entire process!
Do you still have some questions on what it means to elope?
e·lope
/əˈlōp/

I am for couples who are looking for an elopement rich in connection and grounded in nature by providing personalized experiences so you can experience a truly unforgettable elopement day.
Hey, I am Elyse and I am so stoked your rebellious spirit found its way here! With over 10 years as a professional photographer in the wedding industry, I saw firsthand how stressful wedding days can be for couples, with the never-ending expectations, seating plan headaches and rigid timelines. I created Vancouver Island Elopement as a way for couples to skip all of that and still have the most unforgettable experience.
My main mission in offering elopements is to ease the stress for couples on their big days so they can truly soak in every scared moment. I specialize in creating one-of-a-kind, unique elopements and photographing them with breathtaking cinematic and moody storytelling.
Over the years, I have worked with some of Vancouver Island’s most talented and experienced vendors and am proud to always have recommendations for wherever your elopement location may be. When planning your elopement, it is my number one priority to make your day flow with ease so you can enjoy and soak in every single moment.
I can’t wait to create an unforgettable experience for you and photograph your love story!
