INTIMATE ELOPEMENTS
DESTINATION WEDDINGS
I can usually be found screaming Taylor Swift in the car at the top of my lungs, binging netflix on the couch while cuddling my pups, or counting down the days to summer and adventures. I have 2 dogs - a lab named Jack and a golden retriever named Jojo - and they are my entire world. I got married on top of a mountain to the love of my life in the middle of COVID and it was perfectly imperfect. I I love working out and running and you will rarely ever see me not in workout clothes. I recently bought a house and love teaching myself how to renovate and am determined to do it all myself. & whenever I can – I would rather be hiking, paddle boarding or reading a book on the beach. I have big emotions and will forever be a hopeless romantic. I love pictures because memories, emotions and love deserve to be remembered and relived forever. I am SO glad you are here and cannot wait to become friends!
– Iced coffee all year long. Non-negotiable.
– My dog was my ring bearer at my wedding!
– I still think about the Eras Tour at least once a day. She’s my Roman Empire
– Fantasy novels over everything (Throne of Glass, I love you)
– New Girl quotes live rent-free in my head.
– My FAVORITE season is summer and I basically run on sun
– I’m expecting my first baby this fall!!!
– I’ve never broken a bone... somehow??
I’ve always been the friend who made everyone take pictures. But it wasn’t until college — when I bought my first DSLR and signed up for a film photography class — that I realized how much I loved documenting life. I had no clue what I wanted to do with my future, and I definitely didn’t see myself fitting into a traditional career. I just knew I loved art, people, and travel — and I was praying for something that felt like purpose.
That year, I challenged myself to take a photo every single day for 365 days (hello, vsco coffee pics, dogs, and sunsets), and somewhere in that daily practice, I fell in love with finding beauty in the everyday.
After college, I was working full-time and still unsure if photography could ever be more than a side hustle. But I knew I couldn’t let it go — so I signed up for an online business course, grabbed a seat at Starbucks almost every night, and slowly started building this thing from the ground up. I said yes to everything — families, seniors, weddings, second shooting — and spent every weekend learning, experimenting, and figuring it out as I went.
In 2018, I finally took the leap and went full time. And it’s been the wildest, most rewarding ride.
Between my camera and the ministry work I did in Kenya, I started to see how photography could be more than just a creative job. It could be a way to serve others, to love people well, to capture emotion and connection in a way that honors how God made me. I genuinely believe He opened doors I didn’t even know to knock on — and I still feel that calling every time I get to tell someone’s story.
For years, I photographed big weddings — and while I loved them, something shifted in me after planning my own intimate COVID wedding. I realized what I love most: slower days, smaller moments, intentional celebrations in beautiful places. I fell in love with the adventurous spirit of elopements and the way they allow couples to strip away the pressure and just be fully present with each other. That’s what I’m all about.
