Destination Elopement Photographer.

HEY, I'M DOMINIQUE

 

 

I’m a destination elopement photographer based in North Carolina, living my dream by capturing couples who crave slow, meaningful wedding experiences across Europe and the U.S. I specialize in dreamy locations like Italy, the Scottish Highlands, the Cotswolds, and the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been obsessed with fairytales and storybook settings, and now I get to photograph couples in those magical places. If you’re dreaming of an intimate elopement filled with old-world romance and intentional storytelling, we’re going to be best friends.


A FEW THINGS that I LOVE:


  • Give me a cozy evening in my backyard by a bonfire and I'm a happy girl.


  • My superpower is my ability to make my couples feel comfortable in front of my camera.


  • Charcuterie boards are literally my favorite way to eat.


  • I'm currently obsessed with traveling to dreamy destinations that feel like a fairytale with my iced hazelnut latte in hand.

I believe photography is more than just pretty pictures...


...it’s storytelling with heart. It’s about slowing down, being present, and capturing the real moments that happen in between the poses: the quiet hand squeezes, the wind in your hair, the way you look at each other when no one’s watching. My approach is rooted in connection, trust, and intention. I’m not here to direct your day—I’m here to preserve it as it naturally unfolds, in a way that feels effortless and honest.


You don’t have to be models. You don’t have to fake anything. You just have to be you. I’ll take care of the rest.

You might be thinking...

Not a model? Not a problem!

You don’t need to know how to pose or perform to have photos that feel like you. I’ll guide you every step of the way...gently, naturally, and in a way that helps you relax, be present, and actually enjoy the moment. You’ll never feel awkward or overly posed. The goal? Photos that feel effortless, romantic, and so you.


You don’t have to do this alone.


Eloping doesn’t mean figuring everything out by yourself. I’m more than your photographer...I’m your planning partner, guide, and go-to expert! From timeline creation and vendor recommendations to location scouting and places to stay, I’ll help with all the behind-the-scenes details so you can focus on what matters most: getting married in the most meaningful way possible.

Eloping abroad sounds overwhelming… where do we even start?

Totally get it! Planning an international elopement can feel like a lot...but that’s exactly where I come in. I’ll walk you through every step, from choosing the perfect location to helping with travel tips, legal requirements, and crafting a day that flows naturally. With years of photographing destination weddings and elopements, I’ve got the experience to make it feel easy, exciting, and completely stress-free.

"Dominique was phenomenal! She made us all feel so comfortable. She was kind, funny, and friendly. Most of all, her photos were incredible. They are literally everything we dreamed they could be. She made my elopement photos something I can be proud to share, for the rest of my life!"
