For couples who want a wedding day that feels natural, intimate, and completely their own.
I help couples plan and document stress-free elopements in mountains, along the coast, in national parks, and destination locations — so their day feels meaningful instead of overwhelming.
Adventure Elopement Photography + Video
For couples who want more than just photos.
I’m Here to Guide You Through This
This isn’t just showing up with a camera.
I help you:
- Choose the right location
- Navigate permits
- Find places to stay
- Connect with trusted vendors
- Create a timeline so your day flows naturally
On your elopement day, I’m there supporting you so everything unfolds smoothly — not rushed, not staged, not turned into a production.
Some packages include both photo and video, so you don’t have to coordinate multiple vendors or styles.
Because Your Day Should Feel Calm
Permits feel confusing.
Locations feel overwhelming.
Being in front of a camera feels awkward.
You don’t want your wedding day to feel like a photoshoot.
You want to be present. Relaxed. Actually enjoying it.
With the right plan and someone guiding you, everything shifts.
You wake up calm, knowing exactly where to go — free to focus on each other.
And that’s when the best moments happen.
I’m naturally more introverted, so I understand what it feels like to be in front of the camera.
No pressure. No awkward posing. Just steady guidance so you can be present.
