I’m a born and raised Coloradan that spent my childhood around campfires making s’mores in the summer and snowboarding in the winter. I’ve been everywhere in the Rockies from New Mexico up to Canada. I live in Oregon, now, and spend my summers photographing my couples elopements in the wild and camping in my Astro van.
I’ve always had a knack for all kinds of art since I was a kid- ceramics, painting, drawing, you name it. I started photography when I was just 15 and terminally scrolling Tumblr, and it’s been a wrap ever since then. I accidentally became a wedding photographer when all my friends started getting married shortly after high school, and in 2020 switched over to specializing in elopements and small weddings. Now, I get to combine my love and vast knowledge of the outdoors with my passion for photography to help my couples plan meaningful days.
When couples elope with me, I help with every step of the planning process from location scouting, vendor recommendations, activity suggestions, putting together a timeline, wedding license and permit info, local knowledge of the area, and anything else you might need.
