Your Perfect Day

Your wedding day celebrates the love you and your partner share and should feel authentic to your story. I firmly believe in designing the day that makes you happy, so instead of focusing on tradition, let’s focus on what feels right. When you imagine *something extraordinary for* your destination wedding, what do you see? I’ll help you make it happen.

I’LL HELP YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN

BEGIN YOUR EXPERIENCE

I am so glad we found Rose, who turned out to be not just the ultimate photographer and elopement planning partner, but also an awesome person and dear friend.

I don’t even know where to start expressing my gratitude, adoration, respect, and awe for Rose and her work. Rose’s calm demeanor, love for a documentary-inspired approach to photography, and endless enthusiasm for her people are infectious. She provided a steady presence that helped calm my nerves while at the same time being the ultimate hype woman. She captured our whole day beautifully, and looking at our photos transports us back to the sights and feelings we had on our wedding day.

A traditional wedding wasn’t for me

THEN

MY PARTNER & I ELOPED

(AND WE NEVER LOOKED BACK)

I’m Rose, the artist behind Matlai Photography. My partner and I decided to elope years ago, and it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.

Fueled by my own experience living overseas and expertise traveling the world, I’ve now made it my mission to help all couples create a day that ignores what they’re ‘supposed’ to do, and focuses on what feels right.

So if you’re ready to marry the love of your life on top of a mountain or in the middle of the desert, I’ll be there. My bag is packed and ready to go, so let’s start planning your adventure.

We made this experience so amazing and captured every moment beautifully

My husband and I booked Rose for our elopement and couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! We immediately felt like she was a friend we had known for years. She made this experience so amazing and captured every moment beautifully. Thank you so much for making our day so special! I’d give 10 stars if I could!
