Hello future friends!
Thank you so much for investing the time to browse through my website and inquire for this pricing guide. Below I have laid out detailed information on the packages I offer and why couples often choose them. But first, there is a few important things about my business philosophy I would like you to know.
i want to be more than your photographer!
By choosing me, you are investing in a relationship that I hope will add even more value to your day. I want you to feel comfortable texting me with any questions, concerns, advice, ANYTHING. With all my packages I offer a complementary engagement session, with the point of it being to spend quality time getting to know you both. When your elopement day comes, I want you both to feel completely comfortable, like having a close friend with you on the best day of your life, instead of a complete stranger.
I enjoy home cooked dinners, late wine nights, texting you when something reminds me of you, or stopping by when I am passing through your area in my van! I only take 25 clients per year, because investing time into this relationship is extremely important to me.
Here's what others have to say on this!
Francesca & Luis (review by Francesca)
“We are so happy to have found Christina! In our search for a photographer, my husband and I did a side-by-side comparison with her Adventure for Love Instagram against about 10 other “elopement photographer” accounts and hands down her work was the best. She can really stand head-to-head with some of the “insta” famous elopement photographers in our opinion. She offers such a beautiful style and balance of capturing the nature at the same time as the subjects. In our search, we found that many elopement photographers don’t have this balance – either they focus too much on the nature and you lose sight of the subjects, or they focus too much on the portraits and you lose the sense of the nature around them.
Christina really has a special eye for capturing it all in such a beautiful way. Her passion for her work is evident and it just makes the whole experience even better! We absolutely loved her energy and vibe too. We highly recommend her! You will love your photos and your experience with Christina.”
Brittany & Filiberto (review by Brittany)
“Christina is an amazing and professional photographer. We had our elopement in Yosemite National Park in September of 2022 and not only did she do an awesome job of photographing our special day, but she also helped plan it. Her experience and expertise in in this field resulted in us having one of the best days of our lives. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone! If you want a personal, professional and fun experience, hire Christina.”
PHOTOGRAPHY
Here is what you receive with any package you choose…
Complementary Engagement Session!
This can be as extensive as you like. At the least, I like to do a local to you session followed by going out to eat. If you want something more extensive, I can do a multi day trip to a location you love, meet your families, go on a rad unique experience together, options are limitless! I will often spend 2-4 days with my couples getting to know them.
Online Gallery
Photos are delivered to you via an online gallery, and the full quality is downloadable from there. You can expect a sneak peek of both your engagement session and wedding within a week following, and the full galleries one month after the dates they take place.
Digital Use & Print Release
In your contract is a Digital Use & Print Release signed by me. This allows you to use your photos online as you please, as well as make prints!
Planning/advice
Christina is an area research expert. Don't be afraid to ask her for any help, ranging from location or vendor recommendations, to lighting expertise, family advice, and timeline! By the way, I build the timeline for you when we meet for your engagement session.

MULTI-DAY PACKAGE - $9,500
- Full Day Photography Coverage
+
- 2 Hour Day Before or After Coverage
This package is ideal for those having an elopement activity with family and friends the day before, or those who want to have a day after session somewhere further away from ceremony location, or those having a MULTI DAY elopement adventure!
This example showcases one of my favorite elopements to date. Kristyn and Cody have children and are from Oklahoma, and wanted their elopement to be an adventure full of quality time focused on each other. They chose to do a three day backpacking trip in Yosemite, pushing them outside their comfort zone!
I scouted and found a ceremony location I had never seen anyone get married in before. We hiked up the Mist Trail where I used the three hours of coverage to capture that part of the adventure. The second day was their ceremony day, and they used their full day coverage for that. The third day we hiked back down, and I took just a few more photos as an added bonus. I am SO proud of these two for how they chose to celebrate their marriage, and I enjoyed the multiple days of quality time being the only other person there to celebrate them!
FULL DAY PACKAGE - $8,500
This package is perfect for feeling comfortable and assured every moment of your day will be captured. Most photographers will limit this to 10 hours, I don’t. This package ranges the full daylight hours, sunrise to sunset. Everything from the beginning details of getting ready before the sunrise, a sunrise first look following by a long hike, to the sunset ceremony at an incredible vista, and even star photos to end the day!
Patrycja & Kyle started getting ready in their cabin by the lake at the early hours of the morning. I woke up at 3am to get some photos of them under the stars, and photos of them helping each other into their dresses.
They had a sunrise ceremony, followed by their first dance at a lake. We drove the Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park, making stops along the way for breakfast in the Sun Point Parking lot, and paddleboarding / afternoon naps at Lake McDonald! We finally ended their day at Logan Pass for sunset, where they smashed their wedding cake into each others faces. These two beautiful women remain close friends of mine to this day, and I get to visit them in Arizona whenever I pass through!
6 HOUR PACKAGE - $7,500
This package is a sweet spot of making sure you’re relaxed and have the important moments captured, while not needing every moment of the day photographed.
Example: Chelsea & Mitchell
Chelsea & Mitchell’s coverage started at sunrise, 13,000 ft up in Elevation and Colorado Pass in the San Juan Mountains. We drove their Tacoma around the mountains and explored the pass and lakes with their pups.
Their family met us for a morning ceremony, followed by an adorable celebratory brunch in Silverton. Their coverage ended at 12:30pm, after what felt like a long intentional day full of activities! There is so much that can be captured with this package.
4 HOUR PACKAGE - $6,500
The majority of this package is focused on the ceremony and couple photos, but you have a little extra time to add onto something else. Below I have two examples of how these couples split their time!
Sarah & Nate traveled from the east coast to Moab, Utah for their elopement.
With them being from the east coast, we were unable to meet for their complimentary engagement session. I chose to instead meet them the night before their elopement in Arches National Park for sunset and star photos, and use what would have been their complimentary engagement session towards that.
Their 4 hour elopement day covered a little getting ready, the sunrise ceremony, and a hike to a nearby waterfall. This package is ideal for important moments when there isn’t much hiking or additional adventures involved!

Talk about the above options, and let me know which package seems like the right fit for you. Remember, you can start low and upgrade to include more hours at anytime!
