The rest will come easy - when you follow your heart and make this day yours, your honest love will easily shine through. The moments that follow will pave the way for a collection of timeless photographs that share the truth of your story in a beautiful new light.

The experience —

I specialize in adventure elopements and intimate weddings, working beyond the lens to help you feel informed and prepared for your wedding day. My photography is truly a collaboration between me and my couples and an honest reflection of the intimate in-between moments they share as they celebrate their love. Using a mix of digital and film photography, I follow truth over trends with a style that is real, raw and timeless.

 
 
 

My couples always come first. I will hold your flowers as we hike, carry an extra change of clothes for your comfort, and come prepared with a well-thought out snack spread to make sure we’re all in a good mood. Your wedding is an important milestone in your love story, and your day comes first. What follows are the honest and true-to-the-moment photographs you deserve that will carry forward your memories and your love.

 My process —

Each couple, each ceremony, each moment - is different. The process below is the roadmap I use to guide us forward, however your specific needs, ideas and questions will help us to create the path that works just for you.

 
 

/01 inquire

If we seem like the right fit - reach out! I’ll send you starting details, and we’ll set up a call.

 

/02 discovery

Over the phone or or email, we’ll get the chance to connect with each other, your story and your vision to explore the endless possibilities for your special day.

/04 Book

Once I’ve got your approval, we process your contract and invoice before sending over your very own Celebration Day Guide (which includes lots of room for spontaneity, if that’s your thing. Remember, there are no “rules” when it comes to your wedding)! From this point forward, we will open a clear communication channel to ensure that the pieces for your ceremony fall into place.

 

/05 Questionnaire

One month before your special day, my questionnaire will guide you through your characteristics as a couple as well as logistical details to help both you and me understand how to build out a day that is right for you.

 
 

/06 Wedding Day

With your custom Timeline safely in your hands the week before, we will walk into your wedding day calm, confident and excited for your big adventure!

 

/07 Delivery

And lastly, my favorite part - within 1 week, we’ll send your way a sneak-peek with a handful of our best shots. And within 3 months after your celebration, you’ll receive your online album carefully curated selection of intimate memories from your wedding day, plus any add-ons (and some post-wedding surprises!)

FAQs

+ How do we get our photos?

You will get your photos in a private online gallery and you will be able to download, share and print the images.

+ How many photos do we get?

I don't guarantee a specific number but you will receive approximately 50 edited photos per hour. I promise you will get plenty and I won't leave any good ones out.

+ When will we get our photos?

You will get couples session photos within 30 days and wedding photos within 90 days. Polaroids you will get to take home that night.

+ What if I don't know what to do in front of the camera?

That's totally okay. I am here to guide you. I like to keep things natural and moving so you won't really feel like you're posing but just interacting organically with each other so I can capture those intimate in-between moments.

+ Do we meet before the wedding?

I always suggest an engagement photo session so we can meet and you can get an idea of what it will be like on your big day but I know that is not always possible.

+ What if I don't want my photos online?

Your photos are very intimate so if you don't want them to be shared online that is no problem just let me know.

+ Do you travel?

Of course! I love traveling so I’ll go anywhere.

+ How do we book?

Just send me an email with the package you would like and any extras and I will get a contract and invoice sent your way. After you sign and pay the deposit you will be officially booked!
