Wedding + Elopement Photography
Photos are the outcome of the beautiful things already happening, even if you don’t realize how much they mean at the time.
Celebrate what you really care about. Honor old traditions or create new ones. Embrace how you got here and where you’re going.
Revisit somewhere meaningful, or go on an adventure. Create new memories together. I want your photography to reflect the people and places you care about and how you got here.
That’s the stuff that makes photographs mean something far beyond a post on Instagram. Whether you’re eloping on a mountaintop, celebrating with your community or both – let’s make this personal.

Whether that’s a mountaintop elopement, a backyard wedding or an absolute RAGER with all your insane friends.
No two couples are the same. Your relationship is truly unique. Let’s make your wedding reflect that.
For some, having family and friends around is the dream. Others want the wildest adventure elopement!
Others wonder if they could have both. I’m here to tell you that you can.
You can do this any way you want to, and I’m here to help.
Wedding + Elopement Photography
My hope for you is that whatever you do today is something you look back on and wish you could do over and over again. Those are the photographs and moments I’m going to help you find.
[This is how we do it babaayyyyyyyy]
I want to learn about all the things you care about. What’s your story, who are your people, where are we going and what’re you dreaming up? Once we know we’re a good fit for each other we can start to plan your adventure.
I’ll travel to wherever you care about, with whoever you care about, and capture what you care about. Whether that’s one day, two days, or four days. This is your adventure and your celebration. Don’t hold back, or water down your dream day.
We’ll set aside a day after your wedding or elopement for y’all to see your photos for the first time. You can plug into your tv, grab your favorite drinks, snacks, and relive your day *together* with no distractions. You deserve better than a random link in your email at 3am, or when you’re at work.
Right after you’re done reliving your day for the *first* time, we design the perfect wedding album. This is how you physically own your memories in a way you can pick up and put down anytime you need. No sending your photographs to die in a tiny little box covered in dirty fingerprints – aka, your smart phone.
Travel to a place that matters. Go to that spot where you first said I love you. Hike the mountain that makes you feel alive. Celebrate together. Share your vows. Give yourself more connection to the moment of your marriage. You have permission to feel open and without distraction when you say your vows. No matter when or where you choose to do so.

Have a wedding day with all the people you care the most about. Bring your family and friends together and say your vows. Share your new beginning with the people who helped you get this far. Celebrate where you’ve come from, and where you’re going. Celebrate with the people you love, and create new memories. Have a classy dinner, a rager… or both.

Celebrate both your collective lives, community, and 1:1 relationship with each other. We’ll start at a meaningful location for you to exchange vows and set aside a space just for the two of you to connect and share. This moment belongs fully to you. Then, celebrate with your family and friends. Similar to a wedding day, except you’re walking into it already bound together and having shared something beautiful. Now all that’s left to do is celebrate with the

Nothing beats being in-the-moment on the biggest day of your life. And after 10 years of photographing that day… I’ve noticed those moments look different for everyone.
I’m here for the quiet vows and the crowdsurfing.
Parents giving speeches in a backyard using a headlamp to read what they wrote.
Mountaintops and shots of Malort. (The worst liquor of all time unless you’re from Chicago)
Engagement sessions in Lancaster, PA or mountaintop adventures in Colorado.
I’m so ready for all of it. Because you are what make all of these things matter.
Wherever you are, whomever you love and however you plan to celebrate it I am so excited.
You’ll have photographs that allow you to remind yourself of where you came from. In 5, 10, 30 years – I want you to be able to pick up your photo album and remember what it felt like to be the two of you RIGHT NOW.
Nothing fake, nothing forced. This isn’t about the photographs – this is about you. (But photographs are coming, don’t worry!)
Do this together.

I love this question – thanks for wanting to work with me! :) It’s important that I get to know every couple before we sign a contract, so the first step is to jump on a call! From there, if we’re the right fit for each other, it’s as simple as an online contract and a $1000 retainer (with the rest due a month before your day).
Easy answer? As early as you can. Long answer? I take on between 25-30 weddings and elopements per a year, with specific limits put on certain months. (If I shot 20 weddings in October, I might explode.) It’s important that I’m able to show up and give 100% of my energy to every couple I work with. The earlier you can book, the better! Most couples book about 10-15 months out, but I’ve had plenty go as far as two years or as short as next Thursday. It never hurts to reach out!
Heck yeah I do! I have no travel fees within Colorado or Pennsylvania. For the rest of the country, I keep it as affordable as possible. I want to go where you’re excited to go. So just ask, and I’ll make it easy to say yes.
Whether that’s an elopement, wedding or both I want to be along for the ride. With elopement days I take a much more hands on planning approach, while wedding days I tend to function more as a resource whenever you need it.
Absolutely! Not my first rodeo, and I’m along for this ride. I’ll help you find locations, permits, send over vendor suggestions, create a timeline and be a resource to help however I can.
100%. You should tangibly own your memories, so I give every couple a 8-inch album with the first 20 pages. We can go as big as you want beyond that! But no matter what, you’re walking away with something you can hold. I’ll have an album 80-90% done for y’all at your reveal and we’ll spend the next hour or two making it perfect. That way, a month later you’ll be holding a piece of your life in hand. It’s so important to me that y’all have this, I’ve made the process as easy and fun as possible.
I have a handful of photographers I trust as second photographers, or backups if something crazy happens to me. I offer packages and add-ons including second photographers. While a second photographer can be an amazing addition, I don’t think they’re right for every single wedding. Let’s talk about it!
Every single wedding and elopement is different. That’s why I offer full days of coverage, so we don’t have to nitpick over hours. I typically spend 8-10 hours at most weddings, but sometimes it’s longer or shorter depending on what you value! We’ll hash out this detail together.
6-8 weeks after your wedding or elopement! You’ll get a link in your email at the same time I’m showing your the photographs for the first time and we design your album.

Howdy! I’d love to learn more about you and your story!
I’ll get back to you within 48 hours Monday through Friday. My weekends are for time spent with family and friends when I’m not out photographing weddings! Sometimes it takes slightly longer for me to respond during periods of travel and scheduled sessions with my clients. I try my best to focus on my clients’ stories and experiences. I’m thankful for your patience and understanding, and I promise to be in touch soon.
Every couple I work with deserves to have my complete attention, that’s why I only take on a limited number of weddings and elopements each year.
