Not sure what your elopement should look like?
Most couples I work with aren’t coming in with a full plan.
They just know they want something that feels more like them.
That’s why I don't start by asking how many hours of photography you need. We start with:
-
What type of environment you want to be in
-
What you want your day to feel like
-
And how you want to spend your time together
I'll help you build an experience and plans for the day around that.
Below, you'll find a starting point.
These options are designed to give you a clear idea of what’s possible, but everything can be tailored to fit your vision.
Take a look, and if you’re not sure what fits best, I’ll help you figure it out.

What Couples Are Saying about Wild North Weddings
From the very beginning, working with Carly at Wild North Weddings was completely stress-free. From our first conversation, she made everything feel easy, intentional, and seamless, which meant the world to us, especially since we chose to elope in the Isle of Skye, halfway across the world. What could have felt overwhelming instead felt calm and exciting, all because of Carly.
Carly captured our special day more perfectly than we could have ever imagined. Every photo tells a story and reflects the emotion, intimacy, and beauty of our Isle of Skye elopement. She did not just take photos. She preserved the feeling of the day in the most authentic way.
Lauren & Tyler
She’s amazing. She’s also a trooper. We absolutely needed an adventure photographer who could see our vision and literally get down & dirty hiking to our elopement location.
Our day started @ 3am at the bottom of the canyon in Zion NP hiking 7 miles roundtrip Observant Point to a cliff’s edge in 25° weather. Then it ended in a river bed at the bottom of another canyon with her capturing every single moment.
If you are looking for an “adventure photographer” look no further.
Thank you, Carly!
- Josh & Lyndsey
Carly D’Angelo, the owner and our photographer, brought an incredible blend of artistry, professionalism, and calm leadership to the entire process. Her communication was clear, her planning was meticulous, and her ability to capture the emotion and beauty of the day was truly remarkable.
Every detail—from décor coordination to timeline management to vendor communication—was handled with such care and expertise that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment without stress.
Carly’s eye for natural light and candid moments made our photos absolutely stunning, and her warm presence made us feel comfortable and supported throughout the day.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
How Does the Process Work?
1.) Let's Connect
Start by scheduling your complimentary consultation! We’ll set up a phone or video chat to get to know each other better. During our conversation, we’ll discuss your vision, timeline, location ideas, and any questions you might have about your big day.
2.) Make it Official
Once you’ve chosen your date, we’ll lock it in by signing the contract and submitting a 25% retainer to secure your spot. From there, we’ll begin brainstorming and planning the perfect destination for your celebration.
3.) Planning the Details
You’ll receive my comprehensive planning guide filled with tips, tricks, and helpful advice. I’ll also send a detailed questionnaire to learn more about your preferences, which will help me scout the best locations for your wedding. I’ll handle all research related to permits and laws, ensuring everything is done properly. I’ll also provide vendor recommendations to bring your vision to life.
After I provide the list of vendors and any paperwork that needs done, you will choose and book the vendors and fill out the paperwork with your information. I handle any permits that are photo related. Want to add some adventure to your day? I’m happy to help plan activities such as hiking, kayaking, or fireside celebrations. We’ll stay in touch leading up to your wedding day to ensure every detail is in place for a seamless experience.
4.) Celebrate Your Best Day Ever!
The big day is finally here! All of our planning will come together to create an unforgettable experience. Your job is to relax, stay present, and soak in every moment with your partner as you commit to a lifetime together. I’ll be there to capture it all beautifully and authentically.
What does a full elopement day look like?
Don’t worry—this isn’t eight hours of endless posing! Instead, it’s a full day of adventures, celebrations, and authentic moments. You’ll share new experiences, explore stunning locations, get married, and celebrate in a way that feels true to you. Activities often include hiking, ATV rides, kayaking, pub hopping, fireside moments, helicopter rides, and more. The day will fly by as you focus on making memories together.
How far in advance should we expect to book?
I’ve worked with couples planning elopements anywhere from two years to just two weeks out! However, most couples book 6-9 months in advance. This allows plenty of time to secure permits, find the perfect attire, and arrange travel accommodations.
Can we bring our family, friends, or pets?
Absolutely! Many couples choose to include a few loved ones in their elopement. My advice? Only bring guests who will add to your happiness and make the day even more special. If you’d prefer a private celebration, there are plenty of creative ways to include family and friends in your journey without them being physically present—I’d be happy to share ideas!
As for pets, I love when furry friends join the adventure! If your pet will be accompanying us on the trails, they must remain leashed. I also recommend having someone available to help manage them so you can focus on enjoying your day without added stress.
