Before I get into this beautiful elopement, I have to mention first that I 2nd shot (assisted) this one for the fantastic Alyssa Ryan Photography. She was the lead photographer and I was working for her (which was so fun and she was so lovely to work with!) and she is kind enough to let me use the images I took for my portfolio. :)
Read MoreMelissa and Jeff were absolutely perfect clients in every sense of the word. After having their wedding plans ruined multiple times by COVID, they just said "screw it" and decided to elope in the desert with a few close friends. They trusted me completely to find them a good spot and recommend the time of day. They quoted Ron Swanson and Michael Scott to each other in their (beautiful, incredible, tear-jerking) personal vows.

Penny and Steve knew each other in school, but lost touch over the years and both got married and had their own families.

She is from Germany and they’ve had a long relationship with many periods of looooong distance, and other periods of sharing their homes and cultures with each other.
Read MoreIt was seriously a privilege to be a part of this awesome Lutheran/Sikh interfaith elopement. Kyle and Mehtab had been together a couple years and decided pretty last minute to get married! They originally weren’t going to have a photographer, but Kyle’s sister-in-law found me and gifted them some a couple hours of coverage!
Read MoreUgh I love this one. (I know, I say that about all of them lol.) This morning lakefront elopement in June 2019 was one of the sweetest things I’ve ever seen. Emily and Sarah had been together for many years and were soon having their first child together, and decided… hey, we’re committed, we’re having a kid, it’s pride month… why the heck not?!
