THE TIME
OF YOUR
LIFE
i hope you have
Picture this - waking up in a cozy cabin, creek side listening to your favorite tune while sipping on coffee. Then slowly get ready just beside the room of your forever person. When the time feels right, pack up your dress, snacks + venture off to the top of a beautiful viewpoint. As the sun descends you decide when to pull out the vows - you decide when to have your kiss + finish with a champagne pop. As the tunes play you finish watching the sky turn to beautiful orange and yellows while you have your first dance. After that?? You decide! Sounds like a dream right?
The thing is, this could be your day. From cozy cabin vibes, stunning mountain views or coastal beaches. I’m here to hep make your elopement happen the way you want it to.
MY philosophy AS A NORCAL ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
Northern California ELOPEMENT PACKAGE + PRICING INFO
i love the UNSCRIPTED moments, those little moments in between.
WHAT IS AN ELOPEMENT?
Let’s break it down - traditional elopements might suggest a quick city hall wedding because you had to tie the knot. Or some might say it’s the more affordable quick easy way to go.
The thing is, eloping can be whatever you want it to be. It’s the opportunity to decide when, where + how you want it to all unfold.
How amazing would it be to celebrate your anniversary every year in the same location that you shared your intimate vows overlooking the endless ocean horizon?
Eloping is unique to you in a way that you will never forget how you felt in that season of your lives. Remember, this is YOUR day and it deserves to be celebrated. If this resonates with you, then we should chat!

JORDAN + BRETT
If I could give Alicia a million star review I would!!! I feel honored that she captured our engagement photos and wedding day. Alicia is incredibly talented, organized, and communicative (in addition being amazingly kind and fun)! My husband and I thought we might feel a little awkward in front of the camera, but Leash makes her clients feel so comfortable and provides wonderful direction during her sessions. I have loved working with Alicia, and I cannot recommend her more highly!
elopement packages start at $2975, and the average client spends $4025.

I TOTALLY get it. It's completely normal to feel shy or nervous in front of the camera, but I'm here to help. We will keep things easy and keep you moving. This helps you feel more natural in front of the camera and not feeling so posed. This is also why I always recommend the engagement session. This will allow us to get to know each other a little bit more & practice before the big day!
All of my equipment is professional Canon gear and I ALWAYS bring a second camera with plenty of memory cards and extra batteries. I do have business insurance and I'm able to provide your venue a certificate upon request.
This is up to you, but I totally recommend one for a few reasons! First, my style of photography works best when we've gotten to know each other. An engagement session is the perfect time for us to hang out & spend time together before your day! It's also a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera, and practice makes perfect. It's totally natural to feel a little bit nervous/awkward when you're not used to having your photo taken, but your engagement session will make you two pros by the time the big day rolls around.
Home base is Rancho Cordova and I currently serve all surrounding Sacramento areas. I often travel to the coast from Mendocino all the way down to Monterey. Lucky for you, all of my elopement packages include travel up to 250 miles of Sacramento covering most of Northern California. For Southern California, I have a flat rate + also out of state pricing. Inquire & we can chat all the details!

First step is to inquire through my contact form. If I have availability for your date, then we will schedule a call to chat details and package options. Once you choose your package a $500 retainer + a signed contract is required to secure your date. We will then schedule your engagement session + start the planning process. I will be there every step of the way!
After our session or your elopement, you will receive sneak peeks within 72 hours. For engagement sessions your gallery will be delivered within 2 - 3 weeks. Elopements + intimate wedding galleries will be delivered within 6 - 8 depending on the season. Spring + fall are typically the busiest time of the year for me.
You gallery will be filled with the best of the best! I will not keep any worth sharing, however I will not deliver all images taken. Trust me, you don't want them all! Some are out of focus, blinking or not the best angles. Also, part of my art is the post process and editing involved.
Everyones ultimate goal is to feel joy when they look back at their images. This happens when you establish a connection by feeling comfortable and trusting you will be taken care of. Your photographer should be someone who is just as excited for your day as you are. By the end of all your planning they might even start to feel like family or just a really great friend.
