Intimate and emotional elopement photography

for those unapologetically in love.

Photography that makes you feel.

“It’s just a photo”

If that’s your feeling, scroll away.

My elopement coverage is for those who want to look at their photos 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.

Congratulations on your upcoming elopement, it’s a pretty exciting time huh?

Capturing someone’s elopement day is an honor I don’t take lightly. I know there are a lot of choices out there, especially in an area as creatively saturated as Washington, Oregon, and California. So I would first of all like to take the time to thank you for considering me.

I love capturing elopements. I’m a born adventurer so when someone says “hey we want to hike into the woods and take photos” I’m there. You wanna go to the beach and get married? Let’s do it. Fill out my inquiry form with a “hey man wanna hike up a mountain with us and get married?” SIGN. ME. UP.

Hopefully you’ll give me a few more details than that but you get the gist. I am down for anything and everything. You only get one shot at life, do it with your whole heart.

I’ve been capturing love since 2016 and I still have the same enthusiasm for it as I did the very first couple I shot. As cheesy and cliché as it sounds: I love love.

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 have two Sony A7IV’s which usually have my 85 1.8 and 24 1.4 attached to them. I have 24-70 and 70-200 zooms if space is at a premium. For the wide angle to capture it all (or do some star photos at the end of your night) I have my 16 1.8. I’ve got more batteries and SD cards than one person should ever have. When it gets dark, I've got flashes to illuminate everything.

  • 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.
