Available Wherever You Are

Intimate moments. Big landscapes. Honest love.

I specialize in elopements all over the West Coast and further if that’s where your love story will unfold!

Yosemite Elopements

From sunrise at Glacier Point to sunset at Taft Point, Yosemite offers some of the most dramatic landscapes on earth, perfect for couples who crave an epic backdrop.

Zion Elopements

Towering cliffs, golden light, and desert trails make Zion one of the most magical places to say “I do.”

Moab Elopements

Dreamy sandstone arches and wide-open desert landscapes give you endless freedom to explore.

PNW Elopements

Forests, waterfalls, and rugged coastlines. The Pacific Northwest is made for moody, intimate, wild elopements.

intentional & beautifully free

Say “I Do”

Somewhere Unforgettable

Eloping isn't just about running away (although if you want to do that, I’M SO DOWN) but it's more about running toward something meaningful. You get to experience the day exactly how you want it, just you two or with those closest to you.

Christ follower, book lover, storyteller

I’m based in Las Vegas and love to travel to California, Utah, and Oregon to document love in beautiful locations. I’ve been called to do destination elopements because I believe getting married should feel like an adventure and not a performance. I want to help couples plan their special day that feels both meaningful and magical.

When you book me, you get more than beautiful photos

  • Personalized location guidance

  • Permit assistance

  • Tailored timelines for the best light

  • Photos that feel real, adventurous, and true to who you are

I help you create a day that feels effortless and unforgettable so you can focus on each other.
