Hi! I’m Lisa, an elopement photographer with a passport stamped full of love stories from around the world. Not only do I chase incredible landscapes, but I’m also all about crafting stress-free, seamlessly executed experiences for couples who want to say “I do” in style.
Eloping can seem overwhelming at first; there are a million details to consider, and the pressure is real (I know firsthand from my own elopement in Big Sur). But don’t worry, from start to finish, I’ve got your back when it comes to planning and creating an atmosphere that’s stress-free and full of joy.
MY STYLE + APPROACH
Are you super awkward in photos? No worries, so are 99% of my clients! I too literally freeze and make weird T-Rex arms as soon as I see a camera pointed my way, so I know how uncomfortable hours of taking pictures can sound. Because of this, it’s my top priority (in addition to capturing epic shots), to ensure you’re both fully relaxed and having fun during your elopement.
Beyond fostering a laidback vibe, I’m a firm believer in direct and open communication, making sure every detail aligns with your vision. I’m all about planning for worst-case scenarios in advance, ensuring that your big day goes off without a hitch.
In terms of photography, I specialize in the dramatic, the bright, and the colorful, capturing moments that fully reflect the love and joy of your wedding day. Whether we’re on a windswept beach, a mountain summit, or amidst a beautiful forest, you’ll have an unforgettable adventure—and have the photos to prove it!
Finally, I strongly advocate for equality and fully support the LGTBQ+ community. Additionally, all of my elopements follow Leave No Trace principles.
