Your day is about more than just photos for me. This day is going to be the most memorable day of your life. I want to help make it part of your good old days.

Photos that showcase your story. An experience that celebrates your love.

DESTINATION WEDDING & ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER

You don’t have to pose and certainly don’t need to be a model to have high-quality images. With over a decade of experience, I know how to make you feel comfortable letting loose in front of the camera. After all, the best photos happen when you’re yourself.

When you choose me to capture your big day, you can breathe a sigh of relief. From the moment you reach out until you open your gallery, I’ll ease your planning stress, keep your day on track, and deliver emotion-filled photos.

YOUR PHOTOS SHOULD SHOW CANDID EMOTIONS AND REFLECT WHO YOU ARE AS A COUPLE.

Everyone deserves a happily ever after, no matter what it looks like. I want to capture the love surrounding you and help you experience a day that feels uniquely you.

Every story is different. But all love matters.

“She gave me some of the best photos I have ever received. I can’t find one of the millions she took that I don’t like!!”

How It Works

Mostly! But I also love documenting other seasons of life, including engagements, proposals, families, maternity, and grad sessions.

Q: DO YOU ONLY PHOTOGRAPH WEDDINGS & ELOPEMENTS?

I deliver a minimum of 80 images per hour in each gallery.

Q: HOW MANY PHOTOS DO YOU DELIVER?

I deliver wedding and elopement galleries within eight weeks of your big day and other sessions within four weeks.

Q: WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE OUR GALLERY?

Depends! Travel fees are an additional cost unless I’m already visiting your wedding or session location. I charge fuel if your location is 25+ miles outside Portland, OR. Additional fees, such as airfare and lodging, may apply. Check out my travel page for more information!

Q: ARE TRAVEL FEES INCLUDED?

Absolutely! I never want your budget to keep you from investing in your love story. Following a non-refundable deposit, I will work with you to create a flexible payment plan.
