Wedding Films for Stories Worth Traveling For
Videography that makes you feel.
My elopement coverage is for those who want to watch their video in 10 years and cry the same tears they cried when I captured them. Who remember what made them laugh. The ones who put their whole heart into everything they do. If that’s you, keep on scrolling.
Elopement videography for the ones who belly laugh with abandon.
Some places become part of your story forever.
Maybe it’s a mountain overlooking your ceremony, an ocean breeze during your vows, a quiet desert sunset, or a destination that has always meant something to you. The places we choose become woven into the memories we create, and your wedding deserves more than a collection of clips — it deserves a film that brings you back to the feeling of the day.
At Salt & Thistle Studio, I create cinematic wedding films for couples who value connection, experience, and genuine moments. As a traveling and destination wedding videographer, I document weddings for couples who care less about staged perfection and more about preserving the emotions, energy, and small moments that make their story unique.
No matter where your wedding takes place, I’m ready to go wherever your story leads.
What’s my vibe?
You probably got the beginnings of it from the paragraph above but I’ll flesh it out a bit. I’m an elopement photographer who lives full time in a 25-foot RV who wants to capture your adventure elopement.
When I’m not capturing weddings and elopements, my husband and I travel full time in our RV. We live in it full time, 365 days a year. We don’t have a traditional house. Some people think that’s crazy, but we want to see as much of this country as we can in our lifetimes and being tied down to a house with a dog just wasn’t working. So we threw (gently) the dog in the RV and hit the road.
Now before you stress out about me showing up to your elopement in an RV, we do have a separate tow vehicle that we drive. We wanted to travel, but not out of a van. So we park our RV at a campground and explore the area nearby. It lets us explore more than we could with just the RV, and the dog gets to stay happy in the A/C.
All this to say that I’m an adventurer at heart. I am down for almost anything. So hit up my contact form and let’s get talking about your plans!
FAQs

Washington, Oregon, and California are my main focus. But I’ll go anywhere if the vibes are right.

I find it kind of weird that I get asked this question so often, but for the record, I use Sony. I primarily capture elopement video on my Sony FX3 with an FX2 and an A74 for backup or alternate angles on tripod if space provides.
-
I deliver all the best ones, if it's not in there it's usually a blink, a burp or a blur. I aim to deliver 50-75 images per hour of coverage.
-
I do, but you won't ever see them so please don't ask. Think of the RAW files as the ingredients a chef makes your meal with.
-
I have two primary packages: half day and full day. If you want to do ceremony and some photos, then the half day is perfect for you. If you want to do a first look, private vows, getting ready etc as well, then the full day sounds like your jam.
I’m always happy to make a custom package as well based on your specific needs.

Being a gay man myself, I am more than happy to shoot queer elopements. I will shoot any elopement that wants to have me and isn't harmful to others.
-
I am always honored when clients feed me, and I'll never say no to delicious food! However I always bring my own food to snack on so don't feel that you need to.
