Elopement photographer & Experience Designer

Elopements are an incredible way to fuse together everything you love about doing life with your person and celebrate your relationship in a genuine, meaningful way. They allow you to put your marriage first. To release any pressure or judgment and just be you, together.

And when you choose an adventure elopement, you’re adding exploration, excitement, and new experiences to that mix, too (does it get any better than that?!). Not only are you committing your life to someone you love more than anything, but you’re starting the adventure of a lifetime with an adventure of a lifetime.

And because I’ll be there to help you craft the whole thing, and document it as it unfolds, you can relive your best day ever; over and over, forever.

Is Just Getting Started

Your Greatest Adventure Yet

Simply put, an elopement is anything you and your partner want it to be. Because that’s all that matters.

Eloping is not…selfish | pressure to meet expectations | outdated traditions | running away to wed | about anyone else

Eloping is…a celebration of your love | presence over performance | a once-in-a-lifetime adventure | a wedding focused purely on the two of you

the truth about eloping
let's clear some things up

An adventure elopement is what happens when you combine travel and exploration with “I do!” It doesn’t always mean hiking to the top of a mountain or sailing off into the Santorini sea.

If it lights you up and makes you feel alive, it’s an adventure. And if you come out one spouse richer, it’s an adventure elopement.

You could...

+ Charter a private helicopter to fly over Alaskan glaciers all-day

+ Go on an Oregon Coast Road trip and elope cliffside with incredible views
+ Summit a mountain together with a picnic at the top

+ Spend your day exploring and off-road in a jacked-up Jeep

+ Rent a gorgeous A-frame cabin in the woods and simply experiencing the wonders of the outdoors together

+ Grab your dogs and hitting the road for a road trip through Utah’s national parks 


So What Is An Adventure Elopement?

Photography was my first love. And not in a cheesy overly dramatic way, but in a “this lights me up and makes me feel fully alive” sort of way. There’s just something magical that happens when you’re watching a moment unfold from behind your lens and you click “capture.” Freezing that moment in time, exactly as it was, and carrying it with you for the rest of your life. 

The beautiful thing about photography is that if there’s a moment you never want to forget, you don’t have to. 

I’ll admit, I initially thought I’d be trapezing around the world shooting for National Geographic (what photographer doesn’t?), but helping incredible, adventurous couples bring their wildest ideas to life – all over the globe — has quickly become my favorite thing. 

So if you like traveling, experiencing new places, and adventuring with the person you’ve chosen to spend the rest of your life with — something tells me we’re going to get along just fine (and I can’t wait to be part of your story).

And I’m here to bring your biggest “that would be so cool” ideas to life

"In the helicopter, on the glaciers, high in the mountains, she was a CREATIVE GENIUS. So many angles and backdrops, we ended up with what we feel are possibly the GREATEST WEDDING PHOTOS EVER RECORDED. I don't think we've had a conversation with any of our friends in which our wedding photos didn't come up since this elopement."

Here's How It Will All Go Down

This is probably your first adventure elopement, so it’d be a little weird if you knew exactly how to bring it to life. Luckily for you, it’s definitely not my first — and planning them from scratch is sort of my jam. That’s why every package comes with the following included:

* Unlimited planning help from start to finish — I’ll help you choose where to get married, what to wear when you do, how to get there, where to stay, and which vendors to book

* My elopement inspiration guide — 90 pages of my best tips, tricks, and ideas so you can get inspired and think outside the box

* Logistics planning and permit research — Because nothing kills the vibe quite like getting to your location and not having permission to elope there

* Custom timeline planning — So that you can ditch the watch on the day of and stay totally present (without worrying about missing a single thing)


There’s a whole lot more in store if you decide to make this official. But just know that I’ve already thought of everything so that you don’t have to. 

Pour yourself a craft beer or mix up a fancy cocktail, I’ll take it from here
