how is this different from a typical styled shoot?
Styled shoots produce a handful of pretty images. An Elope Collective content day produces a full, realistic elopement gallery. From getting ready, to the hike in, to the vows, and everything in between. Your potential clients will be able to see themselves in the story, not just admire a pretty photo.

Hey, I'm madi.
I am a destination elopement photographer based in Utah, and I have spent that last few years documenting couples who choose experience over tradition. In the canyons of Zion, on the black sand beaches of Iceland, in the glaciers of Alaska, and everywhere in between.
I created The Elope Collective because I know what it feels like to have the skill and not yet have the portfolio to prove it. I want to give you the same kind of days I had beginning my business and even more. Intentional, immersive, and built to move our business forward.
