Elopements are for couples who know what they want. Who'd rather spend their wedding day on a mountaintop at sunrise than in a banquet hall on a timeline. Who want to say their vows in a place that actually means something — just the two of them, the open sky, and nothing in between.
That's the kind of day we was made for.
We specialize in intimate elopements that feel as free and unhurried as the love behind them. No crowd to manage. No schedule to keep. Just you two, a location you love, and me quietly documenting every stolen glance, whispered word, and wild, beautiful moment in between.
More than just pretty pictures. Your elopement is one of the most intimate, courageous, and deeply personal choices you'll ever make — and I'm here to capture every quiet, breathtaking moment of it exactly as it happens.
ELOPEMENTS
Every elopement we photograph is completely, unapologetically unique — because no two couples are the same, and no two love stories should look alike. Before your day, we connect to talk through your vision: where you want to go, what time of day speaks to you, what you want to feel when you look back at these images. Then we build the whole experience around that.
Whether you're dreaming of misty cliffs, golden desert light, a hidden forest clearing, or the rooftop of a city you love — we're in. Let's go.

We cannot recommend Ni and Xiao enough. From the very first interaction, they brought such warmth, professionalism, and genuine joy to the entire experience — the kind that's completely contagious and sets the tone for the whole day. They made everything feel easy and fun, and when our photos arrived we were absolutely blown away. Every single image is stunning. If you're looking for photographers who show up with their whole hearts and deliver beyond what you thought was possible — Ni and Xiao are your people.

No travel fees for weddings within 60 miles of Northern Virginia — which covers most of the DMV. For weddings beyond that range, travel costs will be outlined clearly and transparently in your custom quote. Destination weddings? We love them. Let's talk.
do I have to pay travel fees?
We don't include unedited RAW files — our editing style is a core part of what makes our work feel the way it does (warm, true-to-life, timeless), and it's likely part of what drew you to us in the first place. Your gallery will include a fully edited, beautifully curated collection of the best images from your day.
do you provide unedited images?
For peak Virginia wedding season (May through October), we recommend reaching out 12–18 months in advance — those dates fill up quickly. That said, we always welcome inquiries at any stage of planning. Reach out and we'll let you know honestly where our calendar stands.
how far in advance should we book?
It starts with filling out our contact form — that's the easiest first step. We'll reach out quickly to schedule a relaxed video call so we can get to know each other. Once we're both sure it's a great fit, we'll send over a simple contract and invoice. A signed agreement and deposit officially locks in your date. That's it — easy, clear, and no pressure.

Ni and Xiao didn't just photograph our elopement — they helped us pull the whole thing together. When we didn't have a venue, they stepped in and helped us find one. When the weather looked uncertain, they already had a backup plan ready before we even had the chance to worry. That's the thing about Ni and Xiao — their love for what they do shows up in everything, not just the photos. They were professional, patient, and genuinely so fun to be around from start to finish. On the day itself, every bit of stress just melted away. We were fully present, fully joyful, and completely in the moment — and our photos look exactly like that. Alive, emotional, and completely us. We could never imagine anyone else behind the camera for one of the most intimate days of our lives. If you're looking for photographers who go above and beyond in every possible way, look no further.
