READY TO ELOPE IN VIRGINIA, WASHINGTON D.C., OR BEYOND?
LET’S PLAN YOUR DAY
YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING
The Magic Happens When You Forget The Rules
As a couple who knows a traditional wedding isn’t part of your story, you’re envisioning a day that’s unlike any wedding you’ve seen before.
Whether that means you want to stroll through an art museum, eat ice cream in the park, or celebrate surrounded by nature, I’m here to guide you through the entire process from ideation to ‘I do.’ Because when your wedding feels like you, your experience will be all the more special.
LET’S WRITE YOUR STORY
“Working with Juliana was an absolute dream come true.”
“Our entire day was nothing but amazing and that was largely attributed to her.”
Vonya & Jahkeal
“When we initially reached out to Juliana, we weren’t exactly sure how we wanted our day to be. After talking with her, she was able to help us create the perfect day. Juju (my nickname for her), was such a vibe, and it felt like she was part of the family! Not only did she make us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera, but her creative eye was able to capture moments that made us fall in love all over again.”

“My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Juliana! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and helped us stay relaxed throughout the day.

Where are you located? Do you travel? Are there fees?

I'm based in Alexandria, VA (just outside D.C.) and work all over the DMV. Dreaming of somewhere further? I'm always up for an adventure and happy to travel wherever your love takes you. Travel fees are already included!

Elopements are usually just the two of you (or up to 25 guests), and they’re more flexible, often outdoors, and designed around what feels most meaningful to you. Micro weddings are a bit bigger (up to 50 guests) and often involve a venue and meal.
No matter what you're envisioning, I can help you choose the best fit and guide you through any location or permit logistics. Just know that more guests mean more logistics, but I’m here to help make it feel easy.

How many guests can we have? What’s the difference between elopements and micro weddings?
-
Yes! Once you reach out, we’ll chat about what you're dreaming up, and I’ll walk you through the best-fit options. You can always upgrade later if you need more time.
<< Go Back
Will you help us choose the right package?
-
Absolutely not. Adventure is a mindset, not a mileage requirement. There are stunning views just steps from the car, and meaningful moments can happen anywhere. Think parks, gardens, or even downtown city locations. There are also plenty of short hikes to choose from if you want a taste of that kind of adventure.
Your day should feel like you. Whether that includes hiking boots or not is totally up to you.
<< Go Back
Do we have to hike to have an adventure elopement?
-
Totally normal! I get to know both of you during the planning process, so by the time the day arrives, it feels natural. I mix candid storytelling with gentle posing to help you feel comfortable and look amazing. No forced smiles or awkward prom poses here.

We’re awkward in front of the camera. What’s your approach?
-
Weather is part of the adventure! Rain, wind, or fog can make your day feel even more memorable and create some truly magical photos. With the right mindset, these moments often become the most cherished.
That said, we’ll plan ahead with a solid backup option or adjust the timing of your day if needed. When choosing a location, I’ll guide you toward the best time of year and help avoid any known weather challenges. No matter what, I’ve got you.
<< Go Back
What happens if the weather is bad?
-
I open my calendar in January for the following year, and couples typically book 9 to 18 months in advance. The most popular months—March, April, September, and October—tend to book up quickly.
While I’ve helped couples plan incredible elopements in just a few weeks, giving yourself a few months to plan allows for more flexibility and peace of mind. Reach out as soon as you're ready, and we’ll make it happen!
