Love From past Clients
Maria Colon
Don't worry about feeling UNCOMFORTABLE, a past client says...
If I loved this work any less, I might be able to talk about it calmer....
HELLO, I'M JEAN ESTELLE
Jesus loving, Obsessor of Old English books, Observer of love.
I've been capturing love since the fall of 2020.
It's INSANE to me to think how many people believe their day HAS to feel
Big. performative. Stressful.
But it's even more unfathomable to me to know that there are people out there who think that the only escape is then to feel
Hurried. Uncelebrated. Cut short.
Your story doesn't have to be either of these, and I can help! Everything I do for every elopement is to make sure you get the full day completely crafted and captured to feel inescapably like your love.
The Expirience
1. Consult call
Yay you did the dang thing!
On your call we'll discuss,
You're love story and what makes your love unique to you.
So that your day can feel as outstanding as your story with just as much depth.
Your dreams and goals for the day.
I want this to be a mini planning session before we really dive in together, You'll get to understand the timeline of the day, different activity ideas and all the things to get your brains glowing towards your dream elopement!
How I can help and dates that work best for your goals.
Because we don't want to be standing in the sun on the hottest day of the year right? Right! Haha
And you'll get to ask alll the questions you'd like!
Totally open book, I'd love to help you feel as comfortable as possible throughout this part of your journey together!
Consider this call our first planning session, afterwords I'll send you a proposal to approve and all the details before we go to the next step.
2. Planning
After booking I'll send you both questionnaires to fill out so we can fully customize your elopement to you!
You'll receive as well,
Custom activity lists based on your responses.
Location recommendations.
And nearby Airbnb suggestions if desired.
Vendor recommendations if needed.
After this we'll hop on another call to finalize some plans but I'm available from start to finish if there's anything you both need. <3
3. YOUR DAY
Finally you get to enjoy the start of your honeymoon together!
NOW we frolic!
Your day will consist of whatever you'd like, Breakfast at a new little French spot? Running through a grassy meadow before having a picnic and a game of giant Jenga? Private vows on a terrace overlooking the ocean?
The point is, it will all be unique to you, with plenty of breaks to enjoy and sightsee in-between before or after your ceremony.
I'm not going to leave you feeling awkward either, while this won't feel like an all day photoshoot you'll definitely have plenty of direction when you need it!
So that when you look back on your perfect first days you'll see and remember all the joy you had.
4. DELIVERY
Your Sneak peaks?
Next day.
And no, not 25 photos of the first few minutes of your elopement either, a fully comprehensive snap shot of your whole day, the cover of every scene from beginning to end in 85 to 150 images in your own private online gallery.
Your full custom online gallery?
You mean your full digital album of the beginning legacy of your families face cards?
I don't ever cap my photos so your 400 minimum photo album of artfully edited moments and memories will be delivered as soon as possible while being handled with the most care within six weeks.
Sit back grab the tissues as you relive all the moments that matter most from the beginning of your forever.
And definitely a few surprises along the way!
CLIENT love notes,

no matter which package you pick
Emotive, warm and storytelling true to you photography
What this looks like:

A bestie with a camera
Let me just share what others have said here...
Intentionally and artfully hand edited images
I don't use AI to instantly edit your gallery, and I don't have a huge team of people editing on mass either, each photo of yours is an individual documentation of your day, your moments, your memories edited by me by hand to reflect the art that is your life.
Sneak peeks within 48 hours in a private online gallery
Because I know how hard it is to wait to start reliving those moments!
Full delivery within 6 weeks
Or sooner if you add expedited delivery when selecting your package <3
Full online gallery for one year
Thoughtfully organized and easy to access for downloading right away or in a few months.

Airbnb Recommendations
Once I know what general area you are looking to stay in I absolutely LOVE diving in head first to gather for my people and after working with Airbnb in multiple ways I can say I'm pretty stinking good at it ;)
Fully Customized timeline creation.
I want you to understand that I love love love planning vacations, date days, and mini adventures!
So when I say I will fully customize your day to you? I'm talking addresses, restaurants, local attractions, hole in the wall spots and your own personal favorite things to do as well as what time would be best to do it all in one simple timeline that you didn't have to come up with.
Regardless of where or when, I want you to freely walk- no run into your day with the peace of mind knowing someone is here helping guide the way, and if you'd rather stay at the ice cream stand by the waves a little longer? That's the glory of an elopement, take your time.

Got a question about all day elopements?
What do we do during a whole day elopement?
There is zero reason that just because you are eloping you shouldn't have just as much of a wedding day as someone who choose to have a big wedding day because every wedding day is a big day.
And yours is no exception, during the planning process we will plan everything from breakfast to activities to ceremony, photos in the sunset and beyond.
If you'd like to see an example of a 12 hour elopement day Click here!
What is an elopement?
An elopement is another type of intimate wedding, traditionally with just the two of you but can include a small group of friends and family too!
It can be a stunning destination, the middle of nowhere or your grandma's back yard, the point is it's your day planned out totally with the two of you as the focus where larger gatherings are a lot more guest focus forward.
How does hiring you work?
First, just click here and fill out my contact form as best you can, but don't over think it if you don't have many details!
Then the three of us hop on a FaceTime, Zoom or Google meets call and from there after a signed contract and paid retainer we will plan the very best start to your honeymoon there could ever be.
Your wedding ;)
