ELOPE WITH EMMA BETH PHOTO
NY and worldwide
Hi, I'm Emma!
Your elopement photog, videographer, planner, and officiant rolled into one.
Your wedding day shouldn’t be stressful (or anything less than incredible, for that matter). I’m here to guide you every step of the way—planning, scouting, timeline-building, emotional support, anything—so you can focus on soaking it all in!
I specialize in fun, which sounds so cliche, but I really do prioritize a comfortable and enjoyable experience for my couples, regardless of what your plans entail. I thrive creating an experience that feels natural, relaxed, and true to you—whether that means hiking eight miles before sunrise to say your vows on Mt. Marcy in the Adirondacks, reciting your vows beside the glassy waters of Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park, or keeping things simple with a short walk to a stunning waterfall in Letchworth State Park.
Oh and let’s get one thing straight right away: if you're thinking about bringing your dog, PLEASE DO!! If your pup is tagging along for the adventure, I’m your girl.
WHAT I OFFER:
1.Location planning
Whether your heart is set on a location, or you have absolutely nowhere in mind, I'm here to help! I'm an expert in weddings and elopements at Letchworth State Park and Glacier National Park, but I LOVE exploring new places too!
Odds are, I know the best routes to get to and from your dream location- and if I don't, I'll put in the hours of research so you don't have to!
Limited mobility for you or a guest? Concerned you won't get to have the same amazing experience as the folks that walk for miles to get to their spot? I know a TON of locations that are incredibly accessible right by the parking lot, that are absolutely AMAZING. Worry not- your day is going to be incredible!
2.Transportation expertise
I'm here to help you look for ways to get to your location! On a budget? Flying into Spokane is much cheaper than flying into Kalispell if you're eloping in West Glacier (the only side of the park open year round!) and has more rental car options at the airport. Not a flyer? My family and I personally use and love Amtrak! Driving? I'll let you know where the best places to stop- and the best to avoid are based on weather and the time of year.
Need public transportation suggestions? Best rental car agencies? Where to reserve a hotel block or Airbnb? I mean it when I say I'm here to help you plan EVERYTHING- even the things you haven't thought of yet!
3.kickass photos and experience
On top of my planning experience, I'm here to have an awesome time while we take your photos. Your wedding day may include photos, but it is NOT just a photoshoot! You won't even know I'm around for your ceremony and your vows- take in the moment, just the two of you! Afterwards, I'm here to celebrate you and have a good time so we can get those photos you've been dreaming of! Never had professional photos done? Worried about being "awkward"? I got you! Not to pat myself on the back, but I specialize in helping anxious couples relax behind the camera!
4.Delivering photos
Your 50-75 photo sneak peek gallery will be delivered within 24 hours of me arriving back home! The rest of your gallery will arrive close after, within 6 weeks! This is a little over half of the time it takes to deliver a full 8/10 hour wedding day.
I also only offer expedited 1 week delivery for adventure elopements- not for weddings! My expedited delivery add-on can be purchased up to 2 months beforehand- so that I can plan my schedule around ONLY editing your day! I hesitate to call it a "rush" fee because I will not rush your images- every single photo will get the time dedicated to it that it deserves, but I will plan my schedule so that I have absolutely nothing else to shoot or edit for a full week and can designate ALL of my free working time to sending out your gallery!

signature locations

Glacier National Park
My absolute favorite location! Whether you want a lake surrounded by evergreens, a flower field nestled between mountains, or an epic gorge view, Glacier National Park has it ALL. This is one park where you need to know the ins and outs: Park rules, Lave No Trace, Going To The Sun Road availability, timed entry tickets, locations, trail closures, and rain/snow season (which rolls well into June and may put a wrench in your plans). Luckily for you, that's where I come in- I'm here to be your guide!
My favorite locations:
- Logan Pass
- Hidden Lake Overlook
- Paradise Meadow/Big Bend
- Avalanche Lake
- Lake McDonald/Apgar Village (pictured here!)
- Highline Trail
Starting at $2500 - Travel Included
full Or Multi-day coverage available!
Letchworth State park
This stunning location is 15 minutes from home, so I've grown up going to Letchworth! There's no other location I know quite as well as I know this park. Gorgeous rocky creeks, fields, massive waterfalls, and bridges everywhere. When I say it's the perfect spot for a micro wedding, I really mean it! I have an entire list of possible ceremony spots that all fit 15-25 guests and still have a stunning backdrop- and absolutely NONE of them require a fee or a permit.
Fun fact- My partner Joe's family used to live in the park! His grandpa was the manager of the park for several years- so his grandparents, parents, and now Joe and I all have a huge connection to Letchworth. Joe and I had our first date at Middle Falls!
Benefits and Features
- Options for full or partial day coverage!
- No Permit or ceremony fee
- Relatively quiet- Only busy weekends are Memorial Day, Labor Day, and the 12th-30th of October for Fall peak leaves

Process
Step 01
Call or meet-up
Shoot me a contact form with as many details as possible! Tell me about your story as a couple, your vision for the day, any questions you have for me, or anything you need help with while planning your dream day. I'll get back to you. within 48 hours- usually I'm so excited to get back to you that you have a response within a couple hours! 48 hours is the absolute max in case I don't have service.
Step 02
Fill out the form
Let's meet in person, over zoom, or on a phone call! We can talk about you, the day, or you can just ask me your questions! I love getting to know my clients before they book to make sure they're happy and we fit well together. There's nothing more important than vibing with a vendor who'll be with you thru thick and thin the entire day!
Step 03
Sign contract
I'll shoot over a contract for you to sign with the date and location on it, and shoot over a retainer! Local celebrations like Letchworth and the ADKs are a $250 retainer, while cross country retainers will be enough for me to secure my accommodations for the trip out- the rest of the balance is due a week before wedding day!
