she made me feel...

Charma is an amazing Photographer that makes you feel super comfortable and gets the photos you want without you even knowing that she’s taking them. Everything is so natural and she really catches those special moments. I didn’t have a big idea of what I wanted, but she seemed to just know and she made me feel truly beautiful and seen. I highly recommend.

What is an elopement?

An elopement is an intentionally designed wedding experience focused on the couple rather than traditional expectations. It can be just the two of you or include your closest people — there is no required guest count.

What if we’re not “adventurous” people?

Adventure doesn’t have to mean climbing a mountain. It can mean a slow morning together, exploring a new town, renting a cozy cabin, cooking dinner, or doing something that feels like you.

Do you help us plan our elopement?

Absolutely. While I’m not a full-service wedding planner, I help guide you through creating a meaningful day — from timeline ideas and location inspiration to activities, vendors, and logistics.

We don’t know where we want to elope. Can you help us choose a location?

Yes. I can help you brainstorm locations based on your vision, accessibility, season, activities, and the overall feeling you want your day to have.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Some of the most meaningful moments happen when plans change. We’ll create a backup plan and embrace whatever weather comes our way while keeping your experience comfortable and intentional.

we surprised our parents

with our elopement and they all commented on how amazing our photographer was and that she was working so hard to get the perfect shots.

We chose Charma to capture our elopement and I’m obsessed with the way the photos turned out!

Will absolutely be booking with Charma again. 11/10 recommend!
