Elopement photos

My Philosophy on elopement photography is a little different
Contrary to popular belief, I believe elopements are NOT about photos. The photos should tell the story of your day without BEING the story of your day.
That’s why I focus on the real moments and the big, beautiful place you’re getting married in. Above all else, I believe this should feel like an adventure with a buddy … who happens to take pretty kick ass pictures.
This isn’t about stiff, stuffy poses. This is about the two of you having one hell of a good time and having photos that tell that story well!
“I was nervous to get photos taken as I do not feel naturally photogenic and did not want a “photo shoot”. Jen changed that whole dynamic though!
Real photos from real elopement Days
A dirty little secret of the elopement industry is that social media is full of beautiful elopement photos … from elopement days that never really happened.
I believe there is a big difference between photographing an actual elopement with all the challenges that come with it and photographing a shoot with models …. that was styled to look perfect (often by someone who wasn’t even the photographer who is using the photos).
I believe these marketing tactics are pretty misleading to potential clients and that it’s important to know what you’re actually going to get on your elopement day.
That’s why Every single photo you see here is from real couples on their actual elopement day. WHat you see is what you get (and a whole lot more!)

“On the day of our elopement, Jen was wonderfully laid back, which helped us feel relaxed and enjoy every moment. She knew all the best spots for stunning views, and her eye for detail made every shot feel magical. We have never had professionals photos taken, and she made the process so smooth and natural.”

Jen is amazing! She curated the perfect day for us. We started out by meeting at the trailhead at 1:30am to get to the summit for sunrise- I don’t know that many people would be game for that! The photos she took are breathtaking and we are so grateful that she was able to capture this special moment, while still allowing us to feel like it was an intimate moment between the two of us.

Notice how they look like they’re having a hell of a good time?
It’s because they are!
I treat your elopement as an adventure – not a photoshoot. What does that mean? You’re out there having real moments, soaking in the scenery, and having a kick ass time – and I’m just there to capture it all.
I’ll give you some gentle guidance but so much of this is just you, being you, in some of the most beautiful places on earth.
