Break out of the traditional box of weddings and do your "own thing!"
Our passion lies in capturing the raw beauty and intimate moments of couples embarking on their journey of love in unique and picturesque locations. Whether you're planning a mountaintop ceremony, a beachside exchange of vows, or an urban elopement in the heart of the city, we're here to turn your vision into timeless memories. Take a moment to discover the magic of eloping. We can't wait to be a part of your special day!
WHAT WOULD YOUR ALL DAY ELOPEMENT LOOK LIKE?
Well, expect a lot of laughter, smiles, maybe even some tears (likely from me too.) You're more than a couple I'm photographing, you're now friends.
Let's think outside the box for a second, and take a break with tradition. If you could cherry pick your most favorite day together, from the moment you open your beautiful eyes to laying your heads on your pillows, what would it look like?
- Where would you like to wake up? Hotel or Airbnb?
- What type of weather would you love to have? (obviously, I cannot control the weather as much as I would love to, but we can give our best shot!)
- What would you like to do or see? Any fun activities?
- How would you feel celebrated and the happiest?
- Who would you want to be there?
PRICING PACKAGES
Your elopement is worthy of celebrating the entire day!
Going "BIG" for your wedding day doesn't mean a huge venue with many guests. Going "BIG" for your wedding day may look like an unforgettable experience that is designed around your relationship.
- Tell the whole story of your wedding day.
- Show off images and locations to your family and generations to come.
- Share an intimate memory with just one another of the day you got married.
- Your entire day should be celebrated, not just the moment you share vows.
Who is behind the lens?
I'm Elizabeth-
Hey friend! First off, I am so happy you're here! I can honestly say my photographer journey began when I was a sophomore in high school, with my first photography class. Before digital was a "big thing," we had film and a dark room. I lived in that dark room, and photography was the only "advanced" class I took in school. I can honestly say, I have not dropped the camera since that first day of photography class. My style has changed and evolved, but what remains is my love for capturing life with light.

Testimonials
Elizabeth was wonderful! She is so personable and kind which made us feel comfortable from our engagement photoshoot to our wedding day. It felt like we knew her for years! Elizabeth has a real eye for photography, as she is great at making the most of the environment and surroundings to create unique, incredible photos. Elizabeth has a true passion for photography, which was felt throughout the process of working with her: From her attention to detail of how we wanted our photos, to her organization and support with timelines on our wedding day, to the turnaround time on receiving our photos with an amazing result. We will be sure to go back to Elizabeth for future photoshoots and are grateful we had her there for our special life moments!

I had an amazing experience with Elizabeth & Joel with Birchwood. She wasn't even my coordinator but because she had helped with so many weddings, she knew how they flowed and what's work and hasn't in the past. She was willing to chat on many occasions through issues I was having and even set up my entire timeline for the day of my wedding so things flowed well, taking the stress off of me. I've been in very few weddings and had NO idea what to expect. The questions that come at you "what time is cake, when would you like the father daughter dance, where should this go," and on and on and she was there through it all. We ran into an issue with my venue losing water and while we lost almost 2 hrs of photo time she managed it all so it didn't ruin my husband not seeing me until I walked down the aisle, and she did it with grace while very pregnant. One of my favorite part is that her husband was the 2nd photographer and watching them interact and how much love they have for each other put into a business of something that they both love together, well, it's nothing short of amazing. If you're going to have anyone following you around for 12+ hrs Birchwood is who you want to invest in. You start with a photographer and you end up with a new friend. The fact that she is taking the time to improve the services she offers, taking on more and knowing how effortlessly she makes it look, your day is guaranteed to go off without a hitch!

Testimonials
"I cannot recommend Joel and Elizabeth enough! I could write a novel about all the ways working with them was an amazingly seamless experience. When we booked them for our fall wedding, they took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple. Their photos speak for themselves: these two are just soo talented. But what a photo CAN'T capture is the way they care for and treat every one of their clients. They made us feel so at ease and even got down on the level of our smallest guests to capture those precious moments and make them feel important to the day. 😊 A wedding is stressful enough but they were always one step ahead of us, capturing the memory, and ushering us through the day like pros. These two are simply the best and we couldn't be happier with our photos and experience working with Birchwood."

Testimonials
This was my first experience ever hiring a professional photographer and let me tell you Birchwood studio does not disappoint. Elizabeth is such a glowing, radiant, and wonderful person. From the moment we had our first conversation she put me at ease about the whole process. Talking with her felt like talking to an old friend that I’ve had forever and wouldn’t ever question my trust in. On the big day I had a bit of a makeup disaster and the second Elizabeth walked in the door she calmed my nerves and quite literally fixed everything. Having her by my side the whole day was such a relief. She saved the day on multiple occasions. At one point she even redid my hair for me! Elizabeth and her husband Joel’s kindness and thoughtfulness are out of this world. They just want you to have the best day and they make it happen. And the pictures… ARE STUNNING! Looking through all of the beautiful moments they captured fills my heart with so much joy and thankfulness. They captured everything and more. I will never forget my big day thanks to Birchwood Studio. They are truly wonderful people that I hope to remain friends with for a long time. Thank you Elizabeth and Joel. If you are on the fence about a photographer or don’t know where to start you should definitely give Elizabeth a call! She won’t let you down.
