What if you could do anything on your wedding day?
Ask yourself one question. What do you want most out of your wedding day? Do you crave a day spent entirely together, celebrating however you want? Do you dread the idea of planning and organizing a day for hundreds of people that doesn’t fit the vision you’ve always had for your day? Do you want stunning photos in epic locations to remember it by? An elopement might be for you! Elopements open creative and artistic doors that just don’t exist on a traditional wedding day. You can literally go anywhere and do anything. Your only limits are your own imagination. Skip the traditions and go make your own memories.
Not sure where to start? That’s where I come in! I am a Northern California elopement photographer with over 15 years experience and I can help you make your your wedding day everything you want it to be. Not sure where to go? I have ideas. Wondering what the flow of the day would actually look like? I got you! I will happily guide you through the process of planning the day you always dreamed of. Set up a call and tell me everything. I’d love to work together to make your vision come to life.
Make your once in a lifetime day, a once in a lifetime EXPERIENCE
PHOTOGRAPHER, COFFEE ENTHUSIAST, ADVENTURE GUIDE
I am an adventure lover and photographer who wants nothing more than to give you the day you’ve always envisioned. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2011 and I have truly seen it all. Big, small, traditional, quirky, simple and over the top…and my favorites have always been when the couple truly makes the day their own. What I love about elopements is it takes a day that can become so complicated and stressful and simplifies it down, taking it back to the entire reason weddings exist in the first place…so two people can commit themselves to each other. The logistical stress and outside pressures are taken out of the equation and what is left is a truly genuine celebration that represents exactly who you are as individuals, and as a couple. It is a beautiful thing to witness and one I never tire of documenting.
Not comfortable in front of the camera? No worries, everyone says that. Truly, everyone. My approach is organic and focuses on natural interactions between the two of you to create photos that look and feel like YOU. My couples tell me over and over again how much fun the process is, and how much easier it was than they thought it would be. You do not have to know anything about posing and there is literally nothing you need to do to prepare to be in front of my camera. Just be ready to be yourselves, and love on each other and I will take care of the rest. I promise, we will have a great time.
