YOUR WEDDING DAY SHOULDN’T FEEL LIKE A BLUR

On this day of all days, your only focus should be having an incredible experience with the person you love. An intimate, thoughtfully-crafted elopement allows each moment to matter. There’s no rushing a perfect day together. Bask in the gorgeous scenery, unbothered and present, while I capture it all like lightning in a bottle.

And YOUR PHOTOS SHOULD
LOOK & FEEL LIKE YOU

Folksy Elopements is queer photography for queer couples. Not just “queer-friendly” but a custom experience meant to truly center queer and trans people. When couples feel supported, it shows in the photos—genuine smiles, real laughs, relaxed kisses—and you deserve photos that authentically display your love.

Meet Your new

QUESTIE BESTIE

Hi! I’m Milo—your photographer, adventure planner, and built-in hype crew.

I have 10 years of wedding photography experience but I’m not just there to take pictures! My passion is helping couples turn “an idea” into the most epic adventure of their lives. The pictures are just proof it was real. 

And if you’re worried about being in front of the camera? Don’t be. There is no pressure and no rush to any part of the process. We’ll stay casual and fun-forward, so you’ll spend more time in the moment and less time stressing over where to put your hands. (Spoiler: your hands belong all over your partner!!)

We’re already on the same page.

+ You want to elope in the world’s most beautiful places and have a truly personal and memorable experience. I can help you find the perfect locations that feel right.

+ You’re a queer & looking for someone who gets it. As a queer and trans person I aim to provide a completely affirming experience where you don’t have to struggle to fit yourself into any part of the process. From contracts, to portfolio, to my guides & resources… they are all designed to speak to the queer experience & real queer couples eloping.

+You want a completely unique experience & expert planning help to make it happen. I have been photographing couples in love for over 10 years, and can help provide all the tips and tricks on how to personalize your experience at every turn. I can help you plan your day from start to finish, with completely personal activities to make it feel unmistakably yours.

+ You want to have FUN on your day! My entire approach to your day is centered around being joy-forward.

Here’s how I make it happen

Personalized Elopement Experience Design

  • Unique Location Ideas & Recommendations
    So you know you want to elope at the beach, but you’re not decided on anything more specific? No worries! Years as a vanlife have given me an expert idea of prime scenic locations that provide jaw-dropping views with no crowd or hassle.
  • FUN Activity Ideas Personal To You
    I have tons of ideas for fun and romantic stuff we can fill the day with. Once I get to know you, we can craft an adventure as unique as your relationship. Whether that’s a thrilling climb or an intimate woodland stroll, I’ve got a plan.
  • Photo-Ready & Unique Lodging Ideas
    Our day doesn’t necessarily start at the trailhead. Imagine photos of you and your love sharing cozy morning coffee in a log cabin. I’ll share all my ideas of cool and unique places to stay that are beautiful as well! 
  • Custom Timeline Planning
    I’ll help you craft a day that is experience-focused, while giving plenty of breathing room for spontaneous moments. Eloping should mean your feelings and preferences, as the couple, are always put first. 
  • Queer-Friendly & LGBTQ-Owned Vendor Recommendations
    I have an existing extensive network of queer vendors all across the country! And I am always adding to my list, so I’m happy to help you vet and find the right vendors for your day that are safe and affirming.

    During the planning phase of your elopement, I will provide you with a detailed packing list of any location-specific gear you may need for your chosen adventure. No surprises so you can fully relax into your day!

  • A Joy-Forward Photo Experience
    Eloping is FUN and the photos should put this on display. When you’re having a genuinely great time, smiles come easy. My goal is to capture your joy as it comes naturally.

    Too many queer and trans folks dread having their picture taken when queer love produces some of the most beautiful photos. I will never question any preferences or boundaries you may have, and I love when couples bring their own ideas!

    Each image in your gallery is 100% personally and individually edited by me. I will NEVER use AI or any other bulk editing processes. Taking this level of care is a point of pride, resulting in rich colors while preserving the natural landscape and your authentic selves.

Things You Might Be Wondering Before We Hit the Road

Your Elopement Questions, Answered!

Absolutely! Just because you’re eloping doesn’t mean you have to go it alone. Whether it’s your closest crew caravanning behind you or a handful of loved ones meeting us at your vow spot, I’ll help you craft an experience that keeps the adventure and the people who matter most.

HECK YES. If your adventure isn’t complete without your furry best friend, let’s make it happen! I’ll help scout pet-friendly locations and offer tips to keep them comfortable, happy, and looking cute for the camera.

We roll with it! If it’s a total no-go for safety reasons, we’ll have a solid backup plan in place. But if it’s just a little wind, mist, or mood-setting fog? We embrace it! Some of the best, most cinematic elopement moments happen when nature throws a little extra drama our way.

That’s what I’m here for! If you’re dreaming of an epic adventure but don’t know where to start, I’ll help you narrow down the best spots based on what you love—whether it’s sweeping mountain views, misty coastlines, or quirky roadside gems. We’ll build the perfect route together!

You bet! I’ll guide you through the process of getting any necessary permits for your location so you don’t have to stress about the logistics. Whether it’s a national park, state park, or somewhere totally off the beaten path, I’ve got you covered.

No problem at all! Elopements aren’t just for hardcore hikers and campers. If you’d rather stay in cozy lodges, hit scenic overlooks, or explore your favorite city instead of trekking to a remote location, we can totally craft an itinerary that fits your vibe. No outdoorsy resume required—just a sense of adventure.

Sometimes! I spent years photographing big weddings, and while adventure elopements are my main jam, I still take on the occasional larger wedding when it’s the right fit. If you think we’d be a good match, always feel free to reach out—I’d love to hear what you’re planning! Head over to my Wedding Pricing Page and fill out the inquiry form at the bottom of the page.

That’s f***ing awesome, and I am so down. You don’t have to be saying “I do” to have the road trip of a lifetime with your partner. Whether it’s a vow renewal, an anniversary trip, or just a why-the-hell-not kind of adventure, I’ll help you plan an unforgettable experience that’s all about celebrating you—no wedding required.

Not quite ready to reach out, but still dreaming up your big adventure?
I got you!

Let’s call our senators together. It’s so quick and so important. The U.S. Senate must vote on federal spending including DHS and ICE funding by January 30, 2026. That’s this Friday. If this funding passes, ICE receives more money to continue these inhumane practices. Hiiii again friends! I’ve been making the most of these rare sunny winter days, and thankfully my van renovation is finished and I’m back on the road!! 🚐 (Milo Snapple Fact: this is my third van conversion & 6th year traveling in my mobile tiny homes!) I’m headed to Joshua Tree in a couple days and I’m sooo ready for some warm weather! 😍 Fun update & a lot brewing over here!! I wanted to start the year by finally sharing my little rebrand! Chelsea + Kelly’s day was one to remember! Perfect September weather, stunning handmade details, & pride flags creating a sea of joy during the INCREDIBLE dance party. (Seriously, these two were on the dance floor the ENTIRE night!) 🕺🏳️‍🌈🥂 Flowers picked out at the market, fresh coffee to keep warm before jumping onto the ferry, quiet vows, and snuggles with the Seattle skyline looking on. It doesn’t get any sweeter for those who feel at home in the city ✨ I can cross Cathedral Park in Autumn off my bucket list 😍 it did not disappoint!
