Your dream wedding day isn’t exactly what anyone would call “traditional.” You want to be out under the wide open sky. You want your celebration—from the jokes told by your BFF-turned-officiant to the DIY tablescapes filled with your favorite books—to feel “just so you.”
But you also want to incorporate little traditions with a twist too. So, whether we gather sand from the beach for a post-vow sand ceremony or use the rope featured in your climbing engagement session for a handfasting ceremony, let’s take your favorite traditions and remake them into something new.
Every photographer has their “thing,” and mine is helping couples turn daydream wedding ideas into their reality. So, whether your guest list is 2 or 150 people long, whether you’ve got a planner on speed dial or are a DIY queen, whether you’re saying “I do” in a cozy A-frame in the woods or ankle-deep in the ocean, I’ll be there to document it all. I’ll help you bring your vision to life through a PNW wedding and elopement photography experience that feels effortless, magical, and so, so you!
This adventure begins when you use my inquiry form to give me a quick look into your love story and wedding plans. I’ll be in touch within 48 hours to share more about my pricing and process, along with a link to book your no-pressure consultation call. While I wait for our call, I’ll just be Googling for photos of your dream venue’s stellar view!
Because your celebration is sure to be as unique and unconventional as you are, I don’t want to assume a thing. Instead, let’s get to know each other while considering if my approach is right for your day. We’ll explore your photography vision and discuss how my approach can bring some tranquility and some extra magic to the adventure ahead.
After our call, you’ll receive my booking recommendations and a preliminary timeline for your wedding or elopement that will help make sense of those suggestions. Then, it’s decision time! If you choose to book, you’ll use my convenient booking form to make your final selections, pay the retainer, and sign the contract that locks in your date.
Immediately after booking, I’ll send a wedding or elopement planning checklist and a guide to match. The wedding guide walks couples step-by-step through a wedding day, bringing clarity to timeline design, family portraits, and so much more. Meanwhile, the guide for eloping couples shares tips on choosing a location, booking travel, including loved ones, and more. You’ll have your to-do list completed in no time!
I believe open communication is the best way to alleviate the stress of planning any wedding or elopement. Save my number in your phone as soon as you book, and please don’t feel shy about using it. If you need a vendor recommendation, styling idea, or just an encouraging boost to get you through the long months between booking day and the big day, I’m only a text away!
Two months before your celebration, I’ll send over a final questionnaire to gather the official details of your day. Then, I’ll adjust the preliminary timeline we created all those long months ago, incorporating every decision you’ve made since. We’ll review it on a video call, make last adjustments, and send you off to enjoy your final days as fiancés!
Just two days (or less!) after saying “I do,” you’ll get your first peek at your wedding gallery! Feel free to spread your favorites across social media while I finish the rest of the edits. Six to eight weeks later, your entire gallery—complete with a custom photo box, prints, and even a highlights slideshow—will arrive! Pop some bubbly, and relive your special day through my eyes!
Within two days, sneak a peek at your day translated into art. Give excited loved ones who didn’t make the guestlist their first look at your day while I cozy up with the pups to edit the rest of the story. Before your second month of marriage ends, you’ll receive your full digital gallery!
If our journey’s end leaves you wishing you could circle back to step one, an adventure portrait session could be calling your name! We could chase your big, traditional wedding day with a romantic, elopement-inspired session. We could say, “Same time, same place,” and plan to commemorate your first anniversary together. We could wait to reunite until your duo becomes a trio! I just hope this adventure was only the first of many we embark on together.
Let’s bring the spirit of adventure to your more traditional celebration! Ideal for couples planning to celebrate with 30 or more of your closest family and friends.
Celebrate and document your wedding day your way! Perfect for adventurous experiences with just the two of you or a small celebration of up to 30 guests, this collection includes:
From engagement sessions to proposals and more, let's explore your favorite locations while capturing your beautiful love story
Add film photography to your wedding day to bring an old school vibe, slow down and enjoy intentional moments, and create a unique look to your imagery.

I’m always up for a trip to any domestic or international destination! To book a travel wedding or elopement, just give me some details about where we’re headed when you inquire. Then, I’ll customize a package to your location. And the best part? I’ll take care of all my own travel arrangements!
The final call is yours, but I won’t leave you to figure it out alone. Through your inquiry and consultation, I’ll gather all the information I need to make a preliminary timeline for your day. With that timeline, your preferences, and your vision in mind, I’ll tailor-make your perfect photography package. From there, you’ll have complete freedom to make adjustments, asking as many questions as you need to along the way.
Don’t worry about trying to look like a model. My approach is much more dynamic and genuine than the precisely posed photography from your parents’ wedding day. With prompts so natural you’ll forget about the camera, we’ll avoid fake smiles and stiff hands, capturing the real you instead. And when it’s not portrait time, I’ll simply tell the story of your day with sincerity as you enter fully into the best day of your life. Trust me: the last thing you’ll be worried about is posing for pictures!
I can’t wait to meet every member of your family, even the ones with four legs! If you decide to invite your dog along, I’ll share plenty of ways to make sure they put their best paw forward in the photos without totally taking over your session. We’ll also make a few dog-friendly tweaks to your timeline, to guarantee everyone has the time they need to look and feel their best.
While all my photos are professionally edited in my signature style, I choose not to airbrush away anything other than temporary things—blemishes, bra strap marks, etc. However, let me know if you’ve got a particular insecurity (let’s be honest, we’ve all got them!) before you step in front of my camera. I can be mindful of that when posing you!
I can! As an ordained minister, you can skip the hunt for an officiant if you’d like to. But don’t worry that I’ll spend more time talking than photographing if I take on that second role. I’ll only say what’s necessary to guide you through, making things official between camera clicks while you two do the rest.
Planning any wedding can be intimidating, confusing, and completely overwhelming. But to plan an adventure elopement in a location you’ve only seen on Instagram…well, it’s enough to leave you second-guessing. Stick with your first guess, and eliminate the stress instead by allowing me to plan your day! I’ll find the vendors, nail down the location, get the permits, and even pack the champagne picnic. Just focus on chasing down a pair of flawless wedding looks while I do the rest.
You don’t have to sign up for a muddy trudge up a mountain trail at daybreak to feel that familiar rush when you flip through your wedding album! If you’re slamming up against limitations—whether physical, budgetary, or stemming from a “must invite” list 100 guests long—give me a shout. As long as you say “I do” under the wide-open sky, I can help you infuse adventure into the day.
I’d love to document any and every milestone in your family’s life, especially if we’ve already told your wedding day story together! Tell me a little about the session you’re hoping to book in your inquiry, and I’ll share some options with you specific to your session type.
I can’t wait to meet you! Start by sending an inquiry my way so we can explore your options during a consultation call. With a preliminary timeline of your day and my recommendations in front of you, you’ll use my handy booking form to build your final package, pay the $1,500 retainer, and sign the agreement. And just like that, our adventure will begin!
Stepping in front of your wedding photographer’s camera should feel as exciting as flipping over a Catan development card to find your final victory point! Through a PNW wedding and elopement photography experience that prioritizes individuality, communication, and, most of all, your joy, I deliver an experience as beautiful as your gallery. And that begins right now. Today. All you have to do is make the first move...
