Your story doesn’t stop at state lines — and neither do I. Whether it’s an intimate elopement in the mountains or a destination celebration halfway across the world, your wedding deserves to be photographed exactly as it felt. I document destination weddings and travel elopements with a loose documentary approach — a mix of candid emotion, honest storytelling, and editorial intention. Wherever your story unfolds, I’m there to capture the real moments: the movement, the light, the quiet magic that makes it yours.

Whether it’s an intimate celebration in the mountains or a destination wedding halfway across the world, this all-inclusive collection takes care of every detail so you can stay fully present. I handle all travel logistics — flights, lodging, insurance, and transportation — so your focus stays on each other and the moments that matter most. With my assistant by my side, we’ll document your day from the welcome dinner through one full hour of open dance, blending candid emotion with intentional storytelling that captures how it all felt.

  • If your wedding day is happening more than a few hours from home — or halfway across the world — and you want someone who can handle every detail so you don’t have to, this is for you. You love adventure, but you also value ease and trust. You want your day documented the way it felt — honest, emotional, and unhurried — without worrying about travel logistics or timeline stress.

    For couples planning a destination wedding or travel elopement anywhere in the U.S. or abroad who want an artist’s eye and a calm presence built on experience and intention.

  • Once you inquire, I’ll confirm my availability for your date and send helpful planning resources to get you started. You can choose to connect through email (where no question is too small) or hop on a quick call for a vibe check to make sure we’re the right fit.

Once that’s complete, you’re officially on my calendar. From there, we’ll use my Wedding Timeline Builder to plan your coverage around light, travel, and what matters most.

    In the weeks leading up to your wedding, I’ll handle the travel details — flights, hotels, rental car, and insurance — so you can focus on the fun parts. On your wedding day, I photograph decisively but quietly, letting moments breathe while capturing them as they unfold. Sneak peeks are delivered within 7 days, and your full gallery arrives within 4–16 weeks.
