Calling all cool couples who want a cozy, outdoorsy wedding spent with their favorite people (...and probably their dogs). Regardless if you’re calling it a micro wedding or an adventure elopement, I’m here for it all.
Everywhere I go, I'm desperate to keep a piece of the adventure. I never thought it was possible until I started documenting and photographing every trip: horse trekking in Mongolia, glacier hiking in Patagonia, and riding a donkey in Santorini.
Once I realized I could bring these places home with me through my photos, I started using my camera to document everything I wanted to remember about my daily life. The same wanderlust that led me to different corners of the globe provoked me to pay closer attention to every moment.
After all, it’s impossible to live the same day or photograph the same thing twice.
I hope you feel seen, like someone really captured how you always imagined you looked together. In 30 years I hope you can still feel the warmth from the sun and the depths of this day.
With me, you won’t ever be standing about, smiling at the camera for an hour (woof, that sounds hella uncomfy for the both of us)!
YES, our first five minutes of shooting will be a little awkward. Lean into the nervous laughter as I teach you what to do with your hands (an issue as old as time) and hype you up until you feel on top of the world.
It’s crazy how quickly you’ll go from overtly aware of the slightest movement, to totally forgetting I exist. I’ll maintain that space as I continue to take photos – your focus will stay on each other and soaking up the views.
Love is one of those things in life you can’t ever fully prepare for or understand until… you’re in it. Ya know? Looking back you see just how much you’re grown as a person and evolved together — in beautiful ways you could’ve never imagined. Then just when you think your love for them couldn’t get any deeper, it does. The adventure never ends.
I needed a second shooter, so I handed him a camera. Jake was a natural (and annoyingly good) with little direction.
I wanted to protect the intimate atmosphere for couples who didn’t want to invite a stranger to officiate. Jake got ordained and started writing TEAR-JERKING ceremonies.
I saw couples wrestling with how to balance a peaceful day with bringing their crazy dogs along. Jake took those leashes and gave their fur-family members the attention they deserved.
You might not meet him, but you’ll definitely hear about him.
(C’mon how could I be so lucky to have married this man and not tell the whole world about it!?)
C’mon I know you’ve been thinking about it! In the back of your mind there’s a list of somedays-adventures and wouldn’t-it-be-cool-if ideas. It’s been waiting for the ‘right time’...where you have vacation days saved… the money set-aside… a special occasion. THIS IS IT, FRIEND.
Here’s your round trip permission slip to: be bold, pack your bags, and experience life together in ways you haven’t before. And I’ll be right alongside you, stoked as ever, documenting it all.
