Ready to finally book your dream adventure elopements in your bucket-list locations and make a six-figure (and beyond) profit?

hey, elopement photographers!

so you've told the world that you're an

adventure elopement photographer

You’ve built a business..

 your website up, you’re grinding away on instagram and you’re reeling in some inquiries.

Then I’m so glad you’re here, because you’re definitely in the right place.

nodding along so far?

But you’re still not generating *actual* all-day adventure elopement inquiries..

let alone even booking the few that you have gotten.

and If we’re being real with each other..

you’re starting to feel very overwhelmed and are wondering if business is always going to be this draining.

does this resonate a little too much?

You'd love nothing more than to profit 6-figures (and beyond) from just elopements but since you've only had a few inquiries for elopements, you wonder how the heck you'll be able to even make it to 6-figures.

You think you need 10k followers on the ‘gram because you see tons of “successful” elopement photographers with 10k..40k..80k followers – all sharing their highlight reels of epic destination elopements, right?

You really want to book all-day elopements in bucket-list locations, and you’ve even offered “pay for my travel & I’ll shoot your elopement for free!” but it still hasn’t clicked the way you hoped it would.

You’re dying to finally let go of the traditional weddings – but you’re terrified that the bills won’t be paid if you do.

You’ve posted your name & “I’d love to chat” in Facebook groups anytime a couple is “ISO elopement photographer” but it hasn’t really gotten you anywhere. Truthfully, it’s just been a pretty big waste of time.

You spend hours on instagram, “doom-scrolling” and looking at the “success” of other photographers, and deep down, it makes you feel like you’ll never be good enough.

You put together your website, but you know it could be better and do more to connect your dream couples.

You feel like you’re spending all of the time on your phone and “working” to never see real results – secluded and away from your family and it makes you feel alone every time you think about it... you didn’t think it would be like this when you got into business.

all you really want is to have an entire year solely booked out with dream all-day elopements in bucket-list locations — you see other elopement photographer’s living this every single day, and you’re discouraged that that’s not your reality yet.

and at the end of the day -

Believe me when I say I get it… because I’ve been exactly where you are right now...

The thing is, I brought my business from solely surviving off of traditional weddings to booking out a full season of dream adventure elopements (and making more) before I had even shot an actual real elopement. 

And my students have done the same, too.

So I guarantee you...

You don’t need to have even booked 1 elopement yet and it’s not because you’re not “insta-famous” with 10k+ followers.

So… what is it?

Why haven’t you booked that bucket-list destination elopement that you’ve been dying to?

Before we get into that, I think it’s time for some good news:

You can book all-day adventure elopements & create a sustainable 6-figure *profit* without spending every draining second keeping up with trends on the ‘gram or commenting on every “ISO photographer” Facebook group post.

Just imagine what that would actually be like:

You see a *dream* elopement inquiry comes in from a couple that’s eloping in your bucket-list location! And they’re absolutely STOKED to find you, and pour their heart into your contact form. They’re looking for your guidance & expertise – and found you on google!

6 months into focusing on your strategic marketing plan, and you FINALLY reach 100k in bookings for the following year – all filled with dream all-day elopements with couples who truly value your elopement experience!

To have structure in your business. You wake up every morning knowing exactly what needs to get done during your working hours. You have all of your monthly, weekly and daily to-do lists in order.

To have a realistic marketing plan that actually works for you (no more spending hours on instagram and no more throwing mud at the wall to see what sticks). You have a strategy on bringing in leads through SEO and paid advertising. Your pinterest is automated & your socials are batched out. Your first thought when you wake up in the morning is no longer “what am I going to post on instagram today?”

You finally ditched traditional weddings - You open your website and, where "wedding photographer" used to be now displays only talk of elopements. Your calendar is the same - every weekend is filled with what fills your cup and fuels your soul - elopements

You open up your bank account and see everything in order. Bills are on auto-pay, and there’s extra room in your budget for big investments – like that new Sony camera that you’ve been reeling over.

You can be present (both physically and mentally) for every family vacation, weekend dance recitals and weeknight soccer games. You can book that spontaneous long weekend trip to the mountains.

All of that CAN be your reality thanks to the trailmap to Elopements – My proven roadmap to an efficient elopement marketing plan & sales strategy.

WHO AM I TO TEACH YOU HOW TO RUN A PROFITABLE ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS?

hey, i'm kasey jo!

I used to be in your shoes... feeling like something was wrong with me - or that my art just wasn’t good enough, and getting nowhere trying to prove my potential as an elopement photographer.

I spent YEARS and tens of thousands of dollars doing allllll the things… throwing mud at the wall and seeing what sticks, following bits and pieces from tips & tricks I’ve read or heard from other educators (and never getting the puzzle pieces to fit quite right) ... you name it, I tried it.

Then I joined a very intentional group coaching program – and all of the puzzle pieces finally clicked.

I’ve taken everything that I learned on my journey and put it into The Elope Academy Intensive because it’s exactly what I wish I had when I was trying to prove my success of becoming an elopement photographer.

It’s my mission to help as many elopement photographers as possible fast-forward through by simply focusing on what works.

The Elope Academy Intensive would have saved me SO MUCH time, energy and money. I can’t wait for it to do the same for you.

What other                                  have said about Elope Academy:

elopement photographers

"I have attended seven of Kasey's retreats/content days and let me tell you one thing - there is a reason that I, like so many others, keep coming back!! My business would not be where it is today if I didn't invest time and time again in Elope Academy's retreat and content days. I have gained so much knowledge in the craft of photography at its core, in business education, posing, location scouting, the list goes on. I have also made so many connections and made amazing friends that I never would have met without these events. 5 years ago I took a leap of faith in attending my first ever retreat with Kasey, and today I am a successful, six figure business woman who gets paid to travel and capture love stories. I am truly living my dream, and I could not have gotten here if it weren't for everything that I have gained attending seven of these events! <3"

emily scaled her business to six-figures and gets paid to travel... all because of the expertise provided by elope academy.

I'm Jess Sonderman, a professional elopement and wedding photographer, as well as the proud owner of Joyride Social Studio and The Joyride Project—an endeavor dedicated to providing educational retreats, mentorships, and valuable resources for aspiring photographers. Prior to my involvement in Kasey Jo's retreats over the years, I was simply Jess Sonderman, a budding photographer. Thanks to the invaluable insights and guidance offered by Kasey Jo, I've transformed my modest photography venture into a thriving multi-six-figure business specializing in elopements, weddings, retreats, and educational services.

Remarkably, I never formally enrolled in any of Kasey's courses or purchased her resources because, at the time, they didn't exist yet. Instead, I absorbed her knowledge simply by observing her work. Kasey Jo's meticulous attention to detail and genuine concern for the success of her attendees are truly unmatched. She consistently goes above and beyond, and my story is just one of many success stories attributed to her guidance.

If I've achieved this level of growth through simple observation, just imagine the impact of her meticulously planned resources. Kasey Jo is an invaluable asset and an exceptional human, whose wealth of knowledge extends far beyond the realm of photography. I’ll forever be grateful!

Testimonials like those are exactly why I created The Elope Academy Intensive. So you can scale a six-figure elopement business and surpass your goals in your niche industry just like emily and jess.
