The Escapade: A Luxury Elopement Experience in Puerto Rico
An intimate elopement in Puerto Rico designed around connection, not tradition. This is what The Escapade was created for.
There comes a point in every photographer’s career where clarity hits.
Not the kind that makes you quit what you do—but the kind that sharpens why you do it.
For me, that clarity came through elopements.
I don’t hate weddings. I’ve photographed them for years. I understand their structure, their beauty, their moving parts. But time and time again, I found myself most alive—most creative, most present, most connected—during elopements. The quieter moments. The intentional choices. The days that felt like they belonged entirely to the couple, not a spreadsheet.
That realization is what gave birth to The Escapade.
Not as a rejection of weddings—but as an invitation to something different.
Where the Idea Came From
No guests. No timelines. Just a couple choosing each other during a luxury elopement experience in Puerto Rico.
After photographing countless celebrations, one pattern became impossible to ignore: when the noise disappears, love gets louder.
Elopements remove the pressure to perform. There’s no rigid timeline dictating emotion. No vendor hierarchy. No obligation to make anyone else happy.
Instead, couples slow down.
They breathe.
They talk. They laugh. They feel.
As a photographer, that environment is gold. Creativity thrives when stress exits the room. And when couples feel unobserved, their connection becomes honest—and profoundly photogenic.
I began asking myself a simple question:
What if eloping wasn’t just easier… but actually luxurious?
What if couples didn’t just skip the big wedding—but upgraded their entire experience?
That question turned into The Escapade.
What Is The Escapade?
Eloping in Puerto Rico means trading expectations for experiences. The Escapade turns your wedding day into a meaningful escape.
The Escapade is an all-inclusive, outside-the-box elopement experience in Puerto Rico designed for couples who want their wedding to feel like a dream getaway—not a production.
It’s built for couples who value intimacy over spectacle, experiences over expectations, and meaning over excess.
Instead of juggling vendors, researching logistics, and coordinating schedules, you hand everything over to one person.
Me.
You arrive in Puerto Rico.
And everything else is taken care of.
What’s Included in The Escapade
This moment happened without pressure, schedules, or distractions. That’s the power of an intentional elopement experience.
Every Escapade is customized, but the foundation remains intentionally simple and elevated.
Photography & Storytelling
I document your entire experience—not just the ceremony. From quiet moments to celebratory ones, your Escapade is photographed as a story, not a checklist.
Two Thoughtfully Designed Photo Sessions
The Escapade includes two separate two-hour photo sessions designed to take full advantage of light, energy, and storytelling.
• A morning session—perfect for soft light, quiet beaches, Old San Juan streets before the crowds, or an intimate sunrise ceremony.
• An afternoon session, which typically includes the ceremony and transitions into a more celebratory, cinematic portrait experience.
That said, nothing here is rigid. If your vision calls for a morning ceremony and an afternoon adventure session—or vice versa—we build the day around you, not tradition.
Professional Hair & Makeup
Your Escapade includes professional hair and makeup services from a trusted local artist who understands heat, humidity, and long-lasting, natural elegance. This ensures you feel confident, comfortable, and camera-ready without overdoing it.
Elopement Album
Every Escapade includes a custom-designed elopement album—a tangible, heirloom piece that tells your story long after the day has passed. Thoughtfully curated, beautifully printed, and meant to be revisited for decades.
Dining Reservations
Puerto Rico has an incredible culinary scene. I’ll handle lunch and/or dinner reservations so you can focus on enjoying the island together.
Officiant Included
Symbolic or legal—your officiant is provided and coordinated, with all associated costs included in your quote.
One Curated Experience
Choose one unforgettable activity to include in your Escapade: • Sailing • Old San Juan exploration • Beach picnic • Waterfall adventure • Coffee plantation visit • Or something uniquely you
Why Eloping Beats a Traditional Wedding (For the Right Couple)
The Escapade is for couples who want their elopement to feel elevated, effortless, and deeply personal. Puerto Rico just happens to be the backdrop.
Elopements aren’t about doing less.
They’re about doing what matters.
Less Stress
No planners hovering. No competing vendors. No timelines squeezing genuine moments into 10-minute windows.
Shorter, More Intentional Days
Most elopements last 1–2 hours—centered around a meaningful ceremony and an unrushed photo session.
More Creativity
With no distractions, I can fully focus on guiding, prompting, experimenting, and creating imagery that feels cinematic and personal.
Significantly Lower Cost
While traditional weddings can easily reach tens of thousands of dollars, most elopements fall well under $5,000—often far less.
Instead of spending on logistics for others, couples invest in themselves.
Undivided Attention
No guests waiting. No obligations pulling you away. Just the two of you—present, connected, and prioritized.
At the end of the day, weddings are about the couple.
Elopements actually honor that.
A Luxury That Actually Feels Personal
A luxury elopement isn’t about doing less. It’s about doing what actually matters.
The Escapade isn’t about cutting corners.
It’s about removing noise.
It’s about creating space—for connection, adventure, and unforgettable memories in one of the most beautiful places in the Caribbean.
If the idea of handing over the logistics, escaping the pressure, and turning your wedding into an experience sounds like your kind of celebration… then this was made for you.
