Elopements



Adventure elopement photography for couples who want to celebrate their day somewhere extraordinary. I photograph intimate elopements in stunning locations like Sedona, Moab, Telluride, Crested Butte, Ouray, Cannon Beach, and the Oregon Coast, documenting the quiet, emotional moments that make your story unique.


Whether you're exchanging vows among the red rocks of Sedona, along the rugged cliffs of Cannon Beach, or high in the Colorado mountains near Telluride or Crested Butte, my approach focuses on natural movement, connection, and the unscripted moments that make an elopement unforgettable.


Available as a destination elopement photographer for Sedona, Oregon, Colorado, Utah, and adventure locations worldwide.
