So you want to throw tradition to the wind and have a wedding day that reflects YOU -
your values, your personality, your relationship.
No matter what anyone else is whispering in your ear (or shouting at your face), you can have the wedding day of your dreams. You can have an all-out adventure focusing on your favorite places, vibes, and things you do together. You can elope. It’s not selfish - it’s mindful.
Imagine this…
Ten years from now, you want to look back on your wedding day. You open up your album and you see:
you and your partner sharing the day together - laughing at each others’ jokes; sharing incredible food; having a blast doing your favorite outdoor activities; sharing vows in front of your favorite view (perhaps with your favorite people looking on); a beautiful natural backdrop, with the sun, moon, and stars witnessing your love; genuine smiles on your faces the entire time.
I’m here to help you make it happen.
Planning an elopement or intimate wedding can have its own stressors. Going against tradition can occasionally ruffle some feathers. It can be hard to balance having the wedding of your dreams with not disappointing people close to you.
But I’m here to assure you - you are allowed to have the exact wedding that YOU want! If you want no guests at your elopement, that’s your right. If getting married in the wilderness would make you two happy, you deserve that. Plan a big party later for your loved ones, if it’s important to you to still celebrate with them!
There should be nothing stopping you from following your heart and getting married the way you want to do it. I am 100% here for any of your amazing, wacky ideas and will help you make them a reality.
The Southwest is one of the best regions in the country for amazing natural scenery. In Arizona alone, there is no shortage of incredible locations to choose from - Sedona, the Grand Canyon, the Sonoran Desert, to name just a few.
My main focus with both weddings and couples photography is showcasing your love while experiencing and interacting with the wild outdoors. There are few things more special than adventuring with your love at a place that is special to you, and beautiful to boot.
You can do this for your wedding day, or any other reason. One of the most wonderful things about the outdoors is that it’s there waiting for you whenever you’re ready for it.
This is a Leave No Trace business.
We must have all required permits to do a wedding or session on public land, and follow all other LNT principles.

“…We felt that a lot of the wedding traditions didn’t really fit our personalities. We wanted our wedding to be representative of who we are and not based on traditions that we didn't relate to or felt comfortable with… Upon meeting Lucy, she was very calm and listened to our "quirky" wedding ideas without any judgment. We remember feeling comfortable with her pretty quickly.”

“My fiancé and I are so glad we chose Lucy to take our engagement photos in Bryce Canyon. She was super prepared... the day before our photo shoot she scoped out the area to make sure we would get the best shots in the best parts on the trail with the best lighting possible. She was prompt and ready to go when we arrived to our meet up spot. Her friendly/relaxed personality made it so easy to feel comfortable in front of her camera. We had so much fun hiking around taking photos and they came out so beautiful! I would definitely recommend you have Lucy take your photos!”
Heyo!
I’m Lucy.
This is me, the sarcastic, potty-mouthed weirdo behind the camera. I hope that by being my authentic self with you, that you will open up and be your authentic selves in front of the camera! This way, I can give you photos that showcase your relationship exactly the way you know it to be. When you and your loved ones look back at your photos, whether from your wedding or any kind of session to celebrate your love, they will see the real you. Happy, goofy, enjoying each other and the outdoors.

I’m a Chicagoan-turned-Arizonan based in the beautiful city of Tucson. Midwest to Southwest is a pretty huge change, but I am so glad I did it. I am beyond stoked to photograph intimate weddings and elopements in the unbeatable settings that the Southwest has to offer.

“Lucy is a stellar photographer and was the perfect fit for our small family wedding in Arizona. Her knowledge of the area and desert landscape made for the exact right timing of our sunset vows and photos. She was easy to coordinate with along the way and right on time the day of the ceremony. Lucy's easygoing personality kept things low-stress and made us very comfortable while shooting portraits. She listened to our vision for what we hoped to capture on our wedding day and knocked it out of the park. Everyone who has seen our photos say they look like they're from a magazine.”

“After photographing our engagement we knew that we only wanted Lucy to photograph our subsequent wedding.
She did a great job capturing the emotion and spirit of the weekend. From the intimate ceremony to the reception party vibe, her photos really tell the story of our wedding.
Lucy was very professional and very prepared - crucial in wrangling our family members into group photos and ensuring that we got all of the planned and candid images we wanted.
We could not recommend Lucy more for beautiful photographs of your engagement, wedding, or other event.”
