On a perfect day you’ll find me driving to explore somewhere new with my pup and hubs, hot coffee in the cup holder and some to-go donuts in my lap.

I am a photographer, observer, plant hoarder, believer in real love stories and ‘pet every dog I see’ person.

I’ve been in your shoes, I’ve planned a wedding, and I've cancelled a wedding. We started off with 120 guests and ended up with 30. And I still sometimes wish it had just been the two of us.

We threw our big wedding plans out the window and decided to celebrate in a way that was more us. This meant a cross country road trip, an intimate beach wedding and a big casual taco party later on. It was still a lot of work, but so fun and multidimensional. Plus we got to celebrate for a month straight.

Needless to say I’m a firm believer in doing what feels right for your wedding!

I believe everyone deserves not only beautiful photos from their elopement, but also a beautiful relaxed day that feels like 'you'. I'm here to capture your day and also help plan it. From choosing the perfect location, recommending other vendors and building out a timeline!
