Calling all cool couples who want an intimate, outdoorsy wedding spent with their favorite people (...and probably their dogs). Regardless if youβre calling it a micro wedding or an adventure elopement, planning for the Blue Ridge Mountains in Asheville or wildflowers in Crested Butte, Iβm here for it all.
My mom took me on my first trip when I was 12. Ever since that first trip to Greece, traveling has become a part of my identity. Everywhere I go, I'm desperate to keep a piece of the adventure. I started bringing along a camera on every trip: horse trekking in Mongolia, glacier hiking in Patagonia, helicoptering in New Zealand.
And no matter where I was in the world, being out in nature always made me feel at home.
Youβre probably here because you also feel a sense of wonder and peace when youβre in nature and for you, it just makes sense to get married in the outdoors.
You want photos that capture how you felt and the incredible landscape where you exchanged your vows.
In the back of your mind thereβs a list of someday-adventures and wouldnβt-it-be-cool-if ideas. Itβs been waiting for the βright timeβ...where you have vacation days savedβ¦ the money set-asideβ¦a special occasion. THIS IS IT, FRIEND.
Hereβs your round trip permission slip to: be bold, pack your bags, and experience something you havenβt before, and maybe show your friends and family somewhere magical. And you donβt have to figure it all out alone. Iβm here to serve you, either in North Carolina, Colorado or beyond.

With me, you wonβt ever be standing about, just smiling at the camera for an hour straight (woof, that sounds hella boring for the both of us)!
And I promise to never say, βJust act natural!β or βPretend Iβm not even here!.β
It isnβt your job to know what to do in front of the camera. Iβll be guiding you and creating space for you two to interact authentically and enjoy the epic landscape youβre in.
Itβs crazy how quickly youβll go from wondering what to do with your hands, to totally forgetting about the camera. Your focus will stay on each other and soaking up the views.
Weβve also been photographed a time or twoβ¦so I totally get what it feels like to be in front of the camera too!
I needed a second shooter when I started, so I handed him a camera. Jake was a natural.
I saw couples wrestling with how to balance a peaceful day with bringing their crazy dogs along. Jake took the leashes and (once or twice) fell in love with their fur babies.
I fell in love with Colorado and Jake didnβt hesitate when I suggested spending the summers out there.
If he isnβt befriending your grandma or breaking it down on the dance floor with your bridal party (I have photo evidence of both), youβll definitely hear about him because itβs an honor to be married to him and every day Iβm reminded how freaking awesome marriage is.
