Want to know my biggest secret to avoiding crowds on your wedding day? Try to have a hiking elopement on a weekday.
Now, let me make two things very clear…
WHY CONSIDER HIKING ON YOUR WEDDING DAY?
Choosing to hike for your wedding can be a great idea for a number of reasons:
Benefits of choosing to have your wedding on a weekday:
Take this 4-mile round trip hiking elopement I captured near Breckenridge, Colorado, as an example. While the couple could have chosen to drive up to this open field, they made the trek and dressed in their wedding attire outside of some abandoned cabins in a gorgeous meadow. After they dressed and had their first look, we hiked further up and explored the area for a few hours. Then their closest friends and family drove up to meet them before their intimate ceremony. The best part? An elopement shot in late July with not a single soul in sight. If you want to see more of their adventure elopement, click here!
Again, hiking (on a weekday) is absolutely not a requirement for your wedding day. It’s also not the only way to guarantee you won’t have a crowd. Although I love scouting a good remote trail to help give my couples the most intimate elopement experience possible.
Now tell me… would you hike during the week on your wedding day?
Every wedding is unique and deserves more than a cookie-cutter approach. By stepping back to let intimate moments unfold naturally while offering support and guidance to ensure no important memory is missed, I strive to create timeless images that blend an editorial style with a documentary approach. From the distinctive details of your celebration to the cherished traditions, I'll deliver a collection of photographs that allow you to relive these memories for years to come. After all, the moments that matter most aren’t always staged or polished—they’re raw, authentic, and uniquely you.
Don’t you agree?
Your wedding day is a story—one filled with fleeting moments of beauty, deep emotion, and once-in-a-lifetime memories. As an artist, I am here to preserve those moments with intention, artistry, and care. I don’t just capture what your wedding looked like—I document how it felt.
Born and raised in the breathtaking landscapes of Vail, Colorado, I am deeply inspired by the way love and nature intertwine. There’s something poetic about the way light moves across mountain peaks, the way wind dances through a bride’s veil, and how the beauty of the outdoors mirrors the intimacy of a wedding day. My work is shaped by this connection—an effortless blend of refined editorial imagery and documentary storytelling, allowing each wedding to unfold naturally while being captured with timeless elegance.
Beyond photography, I am an adventurer at heart. Whether I’m exploring new landscapes, hiking through the Rockies, or traveling to breathtaking destinations, my love for movement and exploration brings an effortless, natural feel to my imagery. Every love story is unique, and I am deeply invested in capturing the emotions, scenery, and in-between moments that make your wedding day truly unforgettable. From the moment we connect, my goal is to provide an effortless, elevated experience that allows you to be fully present while I handle the art of storytelling. With a calm, intuitive approach, I blend artistic direction with documentary storytelling—guiding you when needed while allowing your most authentic moments to unfold naturally. My couples value timeless, emotive imagery, a refined yet relaxed presence, and the confidence of knowing their memories are being preserved with intention. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me skiing down the slopes, hiking with my husband and our two border collies, or enjoying a slow morning with a perfectly crafted latte. I live for meaningful conversations, spontaneous adventures, and capturing beauty in the quiet, in-between moments of life—just as I do with my couples. I take on a limited number of weddings each year to provide an intimate, high-touch experience, ensuring each love story is captured with the highest level of artistry and care. If you feel drawn to timeless, emotional, and editorial-inspired imagery, I would love to hear your vision and create something extraordinary together.
