I’ve been doing this for over 10 years and have helped 300+ couples! I’m an elopement photographer turned [accidental] “elopement planner”! Over the years, I’ve found that most couples don’t just need a photographer.

They need someone who helps them figure out what to do, when to do it, and how to actually enjoy the day once it arrives.

Because, I get it…

I photographed big traditional weddings for years before specializing in elopements, so I’ve seen both sides…and so many of those couples were anxious, stressed, and just “wanted to get it over with.” It felt like a *performance* and big production, and all the conversations and decisions were about feeding everyone, entertaining guests, pleasing people…it was never about THEM.

I’m an Elopement Photographer & Guide specializing in elopements throughout Texas, California, Hawaii, Washington, and Oregon…and have TONS of incredible secret locations that I only share with my couples!

I help couples craft the elopement or intimate wedding of their dreams - and capture their story! I’ve been lucky to grow up near so many amazing landscapes, mountaintops, deserts, and forests - in rain, shine, and snow - and I love finding new gems!

I’ve combined my love for the outdoors with my passion for capturing love stories and empowering couples to throw the rulebook out and craft a day that’s really THEM!

I'm a cliche…I married my best friend, Santiago (“Santi”)! We’ve known each other since grade school, fell in love when we were teenagers, and we’ve been married for over a decade.

Our toxic trait is filling up any free weekends we have and never having free time…haha! We love traveling, binging on our Netflix shows, and EATING good local foods when we travel!
