I’ve been helping couples for over 10 years and have captured 200+ elopements, weddings, and adventures. I’m passionate about empowering couples to have a wedding day you’re actually stoked about! Something that’s truly you, that feels stress-free, fun and memorable!

I want this to be as exciting as planning your honeymoon!

Because, I get it…

I photographed big traditional weddings for years before niching down to elopements, so I’ve seen both sides…and so many of my 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 just about feeding everyone, entertaining guests, pleasing people…it was never about THEM.

I’m an adventurous wedding & elopement photographer based in the Western U.S. is a normal “commute” for me! I specialize in California, Hawaii, Texas, Washington, Oregon, Utah, Arizona…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!

Some of my favorite adventures have been hiking and off-roading on Kaua'i, hiking up Half Dome in Yosemite, backpacking Twin Lakes in Sequoia, hiking Angel’s Landing in Utah, exploring Havasupai Falls in in Arizona, paddle-boarding in Austin, cliff jumping in Cancun, hot air ballooning in Napa, parasailing on Catalina Island, and jet skiing in Cabo! I’ve been to 16 National Parks so far (some of them many manyyyy times) and dream about visiting all of them! I’m so excited to get to know you both and become BFFs while we plan the day of your dreams and make some magic together!

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 almost 8 years. You can usually catch us scaling a mountain or chilling at a brewery.

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

Our traveling souls is part of what made me fall in love with elopements in beautiful places…

P.S. As you can see, we love taking anniversary photos in our favorite travel spots!
