Your elopement deserves to be memorialized, so when you're looking at your photos 5, 10, 20 years from now; you'll remember how amazing and liberating your wedding day was.
You deserve a wedding that isn't a run of the mill, cookie cutter celebration that looks like everyone else's; every love story is unique and your wedding day should be the same.
Eloping is about so much more than just the photos. It's about harboring connection & creating new traditions. Elopements are an incredible opportunity allowing you to craft your own traditions while celebrating your marriage in a way that is authentically + beautifully you.
There's no stress about all the moving parts, long guest lists, or venues- you can skip the theatrics of a big showy event and spend your day focusing on just the two of you.
We'll create a day that represents your values and personality, a day that is "so you" & give your love the autonomy it deserves. Looking through your images, you'll relive each moment as it was, taking you back to the way you felt, the experiences you shared, and the love you shared.
I empower you to love wildly & give yourself a wedding day that just feels like you.
Imagine a day where everything feels as it should be.

learn more about me
I'm an adventure elopement photographer based in Portland & Iceland and when I'm not celebrating with couples, you can find me shooting film, eating pasta or exploring on my own.
I'm a sucker for all things nostalgic + romantic and love being able to show couples show special + meaningful their wedding day can be. My goal is not only document your love but to give you all the support and guidance you'll need during the planning process.
My approach to capturing love is simple. I believe that if you're staying true to yourself, you'll have the best time ever, & your photos will reflect that. I take my time with my couples so I document each of my couples authentically and intentionally, focusing on every moment and detail-- forever memorializing each part of your day, for you to relive for the rest of your life.
From the moment we begin working together, I focus on getting to know you as a couple and as individuals. I believe communication and connection are the core of epic love and so it's important for me in documenting your day, that we have the same. I'm here to be your right hand, create something beautiful with you, and create images that give you all the feels.
So if you're a little adventurous, maybe a bit romantic, stupid in love, and want more than just a photographer for your day, let's do it!
