To elope or not to elope…

An elopement is an intimate, meaningful experience between two people in love. From a morning hike in Yosemite to a picnic on Carmel beach, a California elopement allows you to make your day exactly what you want it to be. As a California elopement photographer, I provide an opportunity for couples to be adventurous, and relaxed, and a spur-of-the-moment elopement day tailored to them.

You deserve a uniquely tailored California elopement experience; this is the date you’ll forever remember! You're going to want photos of the whole thing, nothing rushed. I want to be your photographer and elopement guide every step of the way. Together, we’ll make a custom timeline and pick the best vendors to make your elopement easy, breezy, and beautiful; basically, give you the Covergirl commercial experience ;). Your California elopement can be as adventurous or relaxed as you envision! From Big Sur waterfalls to San Francisco’s City Hall, having time to explore and relax makes your elopement that much more unique and enjoyable.

Flora Gibson~ California Elopement Photographer

A California native who loves to travel and chase California light. I'm married to my lifelong sweetheart, have two kids, and I’m a registered nurse to boot. I love traveling with family and friends to mountains, rivers, beaches, and just about any place adventure awaits. Being surrounded by nature is my happy place. As I developed my passion for exploring new locations, I began incorporating my love for photography. I learned how to develop film in high school and haven’t stopped shooting my adventures since. I added couples into the photography/adventuring mix around six years ago and haven’t looked back!

I offer the best experience for couples looking to adventure and give me their trust to capture their special moments. From the wind in your hair to the subtle way your hand reaches for your partner, I won’t miss a beat. I won't just be just another vendor on your list, I will be by your side all day, lifting your dress so you can pee, patting down that stray piece of hair, and laughing while we do it all! I love what I do and I pour myself into my craft. I’d be honored to join you lovebirds for your California elopement!
