Washington DC Elopement &
Small Wedding Photographer
Creating Magical Elopements Filled with Everyday Adventures
Epic Love Stories in the Heart of the Nation’s Capital
Whether DC holds a special place in your heart or it’s a dream destination, eloping here is an unforgettable experience. Imagine saying your vows at sunrise on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, wandering through the Jefferson Memorial’s cherry blossoms, or soaking in history as you explore the Smithsonian museums hand in hand.
I believe elopements should be fun, stress-free, and deeply personal—not just a quick courthouse ceremony with a few photos. This is about intentionally designing a day that feels like you—sipping coffee at a charming Georgetown café, taking in the city lights at the Capitol Reflecting Pool, or celebrating with a private dinner at a luxury rooftop.
Your wedding should be an adventure, a celebration, and a true reflection of your love story. Let’s make it unforgettable.

Hi, I'm Juliana
Let’s write the most epic story you’ll still be raving about 50 years from now.
2. Self-Officiate Your Ceremony – DC allows self-united marriages, meaning you don’t need an officiant—just the two of you, celebrating however you want.
1. Elope on a Weekday – Avoid tourist crowds, events, and protests by choosing a weekday. Sunrise is the best time for privacy at popular locations such as the monuments.
My advice as A Washington DC Elopement and Small Wedding Photographer
3. Get Your Photo Permits – Many DC locations, like the National Mall, require a photography permit. Apply through the National Park Service at least 2 weeks in advance—and don’t worry, I’ll guide you through it!

"I love her mix of editorial, photojournalism, and fine art in her photography. She delivered photos lighting fast and had so many to choose from! The precious moments she captured will be cherished forever and share them with family, friends, and future children. I highly recommend Juliana as your photographer! "
-Grace & Edd
"The photos were unbelievable and we had so much fun! My fiancé usually hates photos but even he said he fun with Juliana. She made us feel so comfortable and we were just able to laugh and have fun. Thank you for everything, Juliana. I will definitely be recommending you to everyone I know!"
-Maya & Nick
"She was so professional and easy going all at the same time. In the weeks before our ceremony she guided us on what we might need and was supportive of every idea to help further that this day was about us. On the day of she let us do our thing and made my husband and I feel like naturals in front of the camera. Our love really shined through in all the shots we’ve seen so far and our friends and family who weren’t present for our elopement got to enjoy the photos right away and didn’t miss a thing."
-Ashley & Dee

Juliana is incredible!
Juliana was beyond amazing to work with!
"She made us feel so comfortable. She was patient, kind, and observant. She had every detail mapped out. We asked for specific types of shots and she went above and beyond to make sure it not only happened, but was executed perfectly for us. Her editing style is emotional and you can truly feel the love -- all while making sure to stay true to you. If you are looking for a photographer who will go the extra mile for you, Juliana is your girl. We can't thank her enough for the memories we have because of her."
