about

Elope the Island is a partnership between two photographers who started out as peers and ended up really good friends.

cheryl perry

Cheryl is the kind of photographer who loves to capture heartwarming, intimate moments on a wedding day. She gets family – afterall, she has three fantastic kids and an amazing husband who provide lots of inspiration. For Cheryl, the best feeling in the world is strapping on a pair of skates and cruising around on freshly flooded ice. And she should know, as a hockey mom and player she spends countless hours at the rink. A dog lover, chocolate truffle connoisseur, and avid fan of non-traditional wedding dresses, Cheryl is both an amazing photographer and one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet…even if she tries to make Riki eat vegetables on a regular basis.

riki sulis

An artist who leads with emotion, Riki believes that the vibes behind creating an image are the most important part of photography – that’s why she’s so much fun to have around on your wedding day. When she’s not teaching math or photographing elopements, she’s likely throwing clay on the wheel, painting to loud music, or building something with her mitre saw. At home, she shares life with her husband and their spoiled cats, who regularly inspire her art. Riki experiences the world through a creative lens, so no matter the medium, her work is grounded in story, feeling, and the genuine connections that make life meaningful.
