let's make it epic!

Elopements are often seen as being a quick thing but you want this to be an event, reserved for two, with nooo rush just a whole lotta being in the moment. I FEEL you. But here’s the thing love birds… the type of dreamy untraditional adventure your heart desires TOO requires plannin and preppin. Hiring me as your elopement photographer alsoooo means you get a planner! 2 for 1 - sweet deal, I know! THIS is what I do best. Prep, plan, and have a kick ass time with you and my camera in hand! Fun fact is I debated even becoming travel agent at one point! 

How does an intimate sunset I do followed by a beach picnic or brewery tour sound, you can even invite your closest friends and family, or horseback riding on the beach, recreate your first date, get matching tattoos, rent a boat and sail into the sunset sippin that bubbly, renting a cute airbnb and hire a chef to cook you dinner, whatever it is - let’s dream it up together! 

Are you overwhelmed with the thoughts of seating and table arrangements? 

My gas is tanked and my bag is packed, let's do this! 
Does traditional give you the ick?
"Picture me singing... Montell Jordans.. THIS IS HOW WE DOOOO ITTT"

Investing in a photographer is more than just investing in pretty photographs, I believe you are investing in the entire experience which is why my passion goes beyond the lens and I try to make this experience with my clients unique because no couple is the same.

And that's the beauty of your love.
And that's the beauty of your story.
And thats the beauty of your elopement. 

Your experience with me will be one of a kind because not only will you be encouraged to be yourself but I am completely myself, an open book, a judgment free zone, and will always encourage you to let your freak flag fly and do what you want because it's what makes you - you! It YOUR day. You CAN have it your way! So let loose, let’s jump into the pool with your wedding dress on! Serious poses aren't you two? That’s fine, let's be goofy and talk with funny accents and tell terrible dad jokes in between epic locations while we take a shot to forever. JUST BE YOU.
