Stratus Adventure Elopement Packages & Pricing
Eloping is an expression of Freedom
Choosing an elopement package to celebrate your wedding day is a brave expression of freedom.
and above all… the Freedom to be unapologetically You!
Your fully customized Elopement awaits!
Whether you are choosing to elope just the two of you, or you are having a more intimate- micro wedding*, deciding to throw out all the rules can be downright liberating!
And then comes the overwhelming pressure of TOO Many choices.
Don’t worry- I’ve got you covered! With over 3 years specializing in elopements, I have helped over 50 couples plan and execute their elopement dreams and know the ins and outs to help your day go as smoothly as possible. From helping you choose an elopement package, access to my preferred vendors list, location and logistics knowledge, to helping with all the things on your wedding day… consider me your planning consultant, photographer, stalker-azee, and adventure sidekick in one!
*The group size allowed is dependent on the land managers for the location you choose. Most limit elopements to 2-15 people, while some allow intimate ceremonies upwards of 50 people for certain locations- usually with a reservation fee.
Step 1- Schedule Your Discovery Call
Our relationship starts with a phone or zoom consultation. I want to hear what you are dreaming up, brainstorm the big ideas together, and see how I can help you create the most perfectly “you” day for your wedding. If all goes well- we move on to booking!
Step 2- Booking your Package
Do you know exactly where you want to get married? Great! Are you still unsure of how much time you will need? Don’t worry, we don’t need exact details to move forward. In order to book your elopement, you will need to know the general region and what date you want to marry your partner. It’s ok if you don’t know exactly how long or what add-ons you want right away. I have a flat rate booking fee of $1000 no matter the package you choose, so we can work together and plan the day together and find the package that fits best.
Step 3- Craft Your Day
We will work together to craft your Best Day Ever! As soon as you are booked, I send over my Client Elopement & Intimate Wedding Guide jam packed full of information to help you in every phase of your planning, along with several questionnaires that help me get to know you better and in choosing what activities you want to include in your day.
Step 3- Capture Your Moments
By the time we meet on your day, we will already feel like friends. I will be your photographer, hype woman, stalker-azee and personal problem solver so you can feel free to live in the moment.
Step 4- Curate Your Memories
Sit back and enjoy epic photographs of your one of a kind wedding experience. Print them, hold them, hang them on your walls. Surround yourself with the love and joy you feel for each other as you embark on the next great adventure of your life together!

Is your thirst for adventure to big to fit into a single day? Break it up and have time to experience multiple locations and activities! A two day elopement package is the ideal option if you want to have one day to soak up all the family vibes, while still having a full day experience all for yourselves, or if you can’t choose between more than one kick ass locations to celebrate your wedding.

Full Day Adventure
UP TO 10 HOURS (Best Package Deal)
Can’t decide on sunrise or sunset? Then do both! The Full Day Adventure is my most popular elopement package. It is ideal for elopements that include family and friends, and for couples who want as little stress about timelines as possible. It allows room for getting ready, first look, ceremony, portraits, any activities you wish to include, as well as giving enough space to go with the flow. It also allows time for star photos, and other creative shots that take more time to set up. A full day can either follow a more traditional timeline or for exploring more remote or multiple locations. This also works well for couples who want to split their day with family and friends, then head out for a mini-venture for just them for epic portraits.
Starting at $4400
Half Day Adventure

The Half Day elopement package is a great option for couples who want to get married either at sunrise or sunset. include a hike or drive to a more off the beaten path location!

We absolutely LOVE Shannon. I discovered Shannon when searching for elopement photographers in Sedona. Let me tell you – we are so blessed and lucky that we had her for our wedding. From start to finish, Shannon helped bring our wedding vision to life. She is your go to gal for creating breathtaking photos, capturing authentic happy adventures and is a wealth of wedding advice. She goes above and beyond for her clients to help create the most special day that YOU want. Shannon is also the best with animals and even helped us have our fur baby along for the whole adventure! We constantly receive compliments from friends and family of the stunning images captured by Shannon from our special day – Thank you for capturing our adventure of a lifetime!
~ Bobbie L.
Absolutely best decision we made with our elopement. Once we chose the location- she planned out the day and it was truly amazing. We even had some issues with weather- and she moved things around without any issues. She even scheduled in some time to truly sit and enjoy the day and we appreciated it so so much. And the pictures are absolutely insane- my friends joked that after seeing our wedding pics, they wanted to ‘elope’ and redo their wedding pictures. Do not even hesitate, if you are looking for an elopement photographer- you found the best one. Thanks again for absolutely everything!
~ Ashley S.
A full-day elopement? What would we even do?!
Anything you can dream of! Just because you are choosing to keep your vows more intimate does not mean that your experience has to be any less. Think of your favorite vacations or day trips together. Were they 2-3 hours of fun, or was the whole day filled with adventure and experiences big and small that give you the warm fuzzies looking back?
Top 4 reason you should opt for full day elopement package…
I’m not sure how much time I need…
That is completely normal for elopements, especially if you don’t have your location(s) chosen yet. On our call I will ask questions and give you my suggestions based on what you are envisioning for your wedding. Then, I keep the booking process as simple and straight forward as possible with a flat booking fee to hold your date. You can always upgrade your elopement package to more time if your day is starting to look too busy or like there isn’t enough time to include all the activities you would like as we get more of the details in place.
