Malika and Kellan were moving to Texas. But, before they left the Pacific Northwest behind they wanted one last love letter to the Oregon Coast and I got to be there for it. Their original plan was a courthouse elopement. That turned into a backyard ceremony with a handful of family the day before we […]

Morgan reached out to me two weeks before the 4th of July with a plan. She and Rowdy were spending the summer in Oregon for rodeo season and she had decided, quietly, that Oregon was going to be where they got married. No big production. No long engagement. Just the two of them, the Pacific […]

A May Day on the Oregon Coast That Felt Like a Gift If you know the Oregon Coast, you know that summer here is not quite what the rest of the country expects. July and August bring wind and marine layer, cool afternoons and often foggy mornings. But May? May sometimes hands you something extraordinary. […]

Photographing an Amalfi Coast elopement is what I do now guys. Dreaming up a European destination elopement isn’t difficult, but choosing from a long list of stunning cities gets a little trickier. Kara + Chase wanted a bit of romantic culture, delectable bites, iconic views, and easy-going vibes (I mean, who wouldn’t?!). And you have […]

A Last Minute Elopement in the Mountains   Have you ever looked at your partner and thought, “We should just go get married?” For an elopement in the mountains, all you need is each other (and an elopement photographer to document it all)! You don’t need a full year of prep, traditional events you don’t care […]

Planning an adventure elopement? Skip peak season! If you’re planning an adventure elopement, your vision probably looks like: frolicking around scenic spots with your lover, soaking in little moments unbothered by timelines, exploring somewhere sentimental or entirely new, and doing it all without a worry in the world.  But if you elope during peak season, […]

You’re here because you want to elope in Yellowstone National Park, yeah?? Don’t worry, I’m not the type of wedding photographer who will try to get you to switch locations because Yellowstone is “too busy”.  Nope, if you have daydreams of geysers and bison and hot springs as the backdrop of your wedding photos, then […]

Finding a private elopement location in Yellowstone that isn’t packed with map-holding, bright-eyed visitors can feel like quite the feat. During peak season, our country’s first national park can see up to a whopping 30,000 visitors a day!!! So if you’re not a run-and-jump-into-the-chaos type of couple, you’re likely looking for somewhere tucked away, still […]

You can’t go wrong when you’re eloping in Glacier National Park, but choosing an exact elopement location can feel like throwing a dart at the map! Dakota + Zach had only been to Glacier National Park once, and knew it was their spot, so we chatted through their options and landed in the land of […]

Never has there ever been a more intentional national park microwedding than this! These photos are your typical shots but with true documentary style coverage of their personal twists on first looks, thoughtful ceremony traditions, and karaoke-filled reception. If you’re looking for inspiration for a personality-infused intimate wedding, you’ll wanna see this one!  It’s no […]
