Let’s plan a celebration tailored to you
Weddings aren’t a one size fits all
Capturing moments seen and unseen on your big day.
The imperfect, beautiful, unique story that makes you two, well, YOU. The big moments you remember, and the little ones you don’t. The mascara-running tears in a dark & crowded room, the silent and nervous anticipation of waiting to see your soon-to-be spouse for the first time, the running down the aisle with your fist in the air, the sweaty cupid shuffle on the dance floor, and the crazy excitement for life as you sprint away under sparkler lights into this new thing called marriage.
Let me be there to carry your dress, to tell you where your boutonniere goes, to help calm your nerves, and to keep you focused on what truly matters. Let me be there to capture all of those little moments, and trust me to capture the big picture moments too.
Whether that's on a mountain top at sunset, running on the beach through the waves, exploring the desert (sweaty & all), or hiking through the woods with mud on your dress. I believe you should be fully present on your wedding or elopement day, caring attentively to capturing each interaction with your family, your friends, & your partner. While you’re fully focused on what’s happening in front of you, I’ll be there to capture what’s happening all around you. You can trust me to capture both the moments you see, and the moments you don’t see, on your big day.
anywhere & everywhere with you
Oregon based, but… I’ll go
my most frequented destinations
Parks are for lovers
Whether you’re having a big party or a little one, count me in.
Maybe you’re here because you’re planning an epic elopement in your favorite national park, or you’re having a huge wedding in the woods, or a micro wedding in the desert with your best friends and family - I’m here to capture ANY and ALL forms of love & celebrations of any size.
Meet me on the road.
Getting married should be:
01) About you two
In this industry it can feel like the your wedding or elopement is the END. The culmination of all your planning, the culmination of your years of dating, the end of an exciting season. But that’s not true... the bigger picture shows that your marriage is only the BEGINNING of the rest of your lives spent together. Less emphasis on the material aspects of your wedding day - more emphasis on the meaning and memories that will be made with it.
Celebrations come in all shapes and sizes. Maybe your perfect celebration is just you two, sitting on a blanket overlooking the edge of the Grand Canyon and drinking a beer together. Maybe your perfect celebration is with 20 of your closest friends & family members over a dinner table sharing stories, love & laughter. Maybe your perfect celebration is 200 people dancing around you & loud music blasting while you party the night away.
02) A celebration
03) Only the beginning
A reflection of your relationship, your values, Not a checklist of things you “should” do, or things your family expects you to do. A day truly created to bring you two JOY, to help you feel deeply connected to each other and your loved ones, a day to remember for yourselves and for no one else. Every time you make a decision ask yourselves: “is this for us, or for someone else?” Honor your relationship above all else in the planning process!
