Itimate Weddings & Elopements
specialty hand edited images
Are you looking to capture the special moments of your big day? Along with traditional venue weddings- I also specialize in the less traditional and more personal weddings. I have shot everything from adventure nuptials to private, one witness vows. The best part of a wedding is that there isn't one specific mold for all.
FUN FACT!
ALONG WITH MY PHOTOGRAPHY, I AM ALSO AN ORDAINED MINISTER! I ORIGINALLY BECAME LICENSED TO PERFORM MY BEST FRIEND'S CEREMONY AT HER WEDDING. SINCE THEN, I HAVE ABOUT 30 TOTAL WEDDINGS UNDER MY BELT. YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED HOW OFTEN OFFICIANTS DON'T SHOW UP FOR ELOPEMENTS!
FUNNY STORY...
When I first started this business, I swore that I never wanted to do weddings! I thought wedding photographers were the most hardcore people on the planet. Shooting all day, pretty much running the show and all on top of being in charge of some of the biggest moments of people's lives.
THEN I SHOT MY FIRST WEDDING...
I finally understood the magic of them. It was a family and friends beach elopement, and it was so intimate and wonderful. I could focus on every detail of them as a couple without the hooplah and intensity of meeting time frames of a strict schedule. They sat in the moment feeling excited for their lives together and we soaked up every minute of it.
and so grew my love for intimate weddings and elopements.
Testimonials
“Officiated and photographed by me, this couple said their vows in their inlaw's backyard followed by pictures in their local cemetery! Their whole aesthetic was to die for ;)”
—THE JACKSONS
“They had their wedding ceremony at the courthouse followed by an hour of just the two of them sneaking off for photos in the woods. They were being stationed in a different state within days of their wedding and decided they did not want to spend another day apart. Following this session, they celebrated with their closest family and friends”
