Run wild~The elopement experience
Hocking Hills Elopement
Photographer
You. Me. and every wild place in between.
Spend the day hiking the Old Man’s Cave loop, stopping at Cedar Falls, and sharing private vows tucked in the trees before golden hour at Ash Cave. Then head back to your cabin for a champagne pop, s’mores by the fire, and a hot tub soak under the stars.
You want a intimate, un-rushed, and adventurous-ish day that is built completely around the two of you.
So you're eloping in Hocking Hills
But then the questions start rolling in... how do we actually plan our elopement day?
Elopement planning doesn't need to feel stressful
Hey! I'm Braelyn, your Hocking Hills expert!
I'm your planner, your hype girl, and your adventure-ready third wheel. I'll be here to make sure you never feel lost in the planning process.
You already feel it, tradition isn’t your thing, and your love deserves something wilder, something real. Eloping gives you that freedom, but it also comes with a ton of unknowns.
Lucky for you, that’s exactly where I step in.
Think of me as the steady presence that keeps everything flowing smoothly while you two stay focused on each other. I’m here to make things feel simple, clear, and easy from start to finish.
That's why I help you plan an elopement that brings you closer, keeps the day centered on your love, and gives you the freedom to experience it all without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
I'm here to make everything feel a little easier.
I'll create a customized packing list so you're fully prepared for your location, weather, and plans.

Ready for your adventure?
Some locations require a permit, some don't. It can be confusing to figure out. I take care of the research for you, check the rules for your chosen spot, and help you secure any permits you might need. that way you can focus on the experience, not the paperwork.
More than people think! but that's where I come in. from timelines to locations to small details you might not even realize you need, I help you craft a daythat feels intentional but still relaxed. Whether you want a slow morning together or a day packed of adventure, i help shape it into a smooth, stress-free plan.
Absolutely! your elopement can be just the two of you or include people who mean the most. I can help you choose locations that allow small groups, offer enough space, and still keep the intimate, intentional feeling you're going for.
Elopements are all about embracing nature. sometimes that means a little rain, fog, wind, or snow. i always come prepared with backup options, flexible timelines, and creative ideas to keep the experience fun. some of the most stunning photos come from "imperfect" weather.
Most couples book anywhere from a few months to a year out, but elopements are more flexible than traditional weddings. once you reach out, well lock in your date and start planning right away so you have everything you need: location, timeline, permits, and a solid vision.
