ADVENTURE WEDDINGS IN COLORADO AND THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST

I photographed Maddie and Kevin’s engagement photos last year, and we pretty much hit it off immediately. So when they asked me to come back for their Crested Butte, Colorado wedding and add Super 8 video into the mix, I was very much in. I already knew these two were fun, easy to be around, […]

Kate and Ryan’s mountain top elopement at Loveland Pass was built around a pretty simple idea: they didn’t need their wedding to feel impressive to anyone else. They just wanted it to feel important to them. They’re a blended family; they’ve both been married before, and going into this day, they had a really clear […]

The weather forecast called for rain. Telluride decided to throw in hail, sideways wind, and some of the moodiest skies I’ve seen instead. Somehow, it turned into one of my favorite evenings for mountain elopement photos. Andrea and Cody stood on a hillside overlooking the San Juan Mountains, completely soaked, reading private vows to each […]

I don’t think I’ll ever forget the message Daisy sent me when our Colorado elopement plans took a turn. Somewhere between location ideas and logistics, the conversation shifted to, “What if we just… went to Europe?” More specifically, what if this Dolomites elopement became the excuse to take the biggest trip of their lives? That’s […]

If you’re dreaming about mountain views, alpine lakes, wildflowers, cozy forests, or, honestly, just running away together somewhere beautiful, there are so many incredible Breckenridge elopement locations to choose from. One of my favorite things about this area is how much you can find without driving for hours between spots. You can have a quiet […]

If your dream Aspen elopement looks less like a venue space and more like pulling off on the side of a mountain road, Independence Pass might be your place. The air is crisp, the mountains feel impossibly huge, and half the fun is exploring all the random overlooks and hidden corners you stumble into along […]

Snowy engagement photos in Colorado that are special, especially when you’re out there before the sun even wakes up. It was cold. But the quiet and stillness were totally worth it. Everything was covered in fresh snow, and as the sun started to rise, that soft golden alpenglow lit up the mountains in the most […]

These playful engagement photos with Marisa and Kevin started with a dog trainer from upstate New York… whose wife… whose aunt… somehow knew them. And that’s how they found me. I love a good referral story, but this one is elite. I’ve learned to trust referrals like this. The more random they are, the more […]

Let’s start here—Cody and Andrea didn’t come into their Telluride engagement photos carefree and glowing. They came in a little cautious. They had a rough experience with their previous photographer. And if you’ve ever had that happen (with a vendor, a creative, anyone involved in something meaningful), you know how much it can take the […]

These Rattlesnake Lake engagement photos are proof that rain does not get the final say. If anything, it showed up and did us a favor. It was cold, wet, and very Pacific Northwest. And honestly? It made everything better. The clouds hung low over the lake, the mountains were wrapped in fog, and the forest […]
