I live just down the road from Glacier and know this park like my own backyard — because, well, it kind of is. From secret picnic spots to the best places to catch alpenglow without the crowds, I’m here to help you skip the tourist traps and get straight to the magic.
I photograph elopements that are wild, intentional, and deeply you. Whether you're cliff-jumping in your wedding clothes or sharing vows in a quiet alpine meadow, I’ll help you plan an experience that feels real — and I’ll capture every unscripted second.
You don’t have to be outdoorsy to elope outdoors. You just need to be open to presence and wonder.
I’m not here just to rush you around and snap photos in beautiful places. I’m here to help you stay grounded in what truly matters — to deepen your connection with each other and the environment around you. When you’re truly yourself, there’s no need to perform on this special day. You simply get to be present. That’s why my process is all about crafting an experience, not just taking pictures.
Let’s design your perfect-fit elopement — your love, your values, woven together with my planning, guidance, and the care I bring to every detail.
I think it’s a missed opportunity to show up at a beautiful spot, get the shot, then jump back in the car and leave. I want you to revel in the wonder of the place you choose to elope. This is a memory you’ll carry for the rest of your life — the smell of moss, the warmth of the sun, the sound of the creek. You can’t truly feel that if you’re just popping in and out all day.
Together, we’ll craft a plan that becomes your compass for the day. Many photographers talk about candid moments and storytelling — I intentionally build in space throughout your day to breathe, relax, and truly loosen up.
Whether you have a clear vision or just a feeling about where you want to go, we’ll shape the day around what matters most to you as a couple. It all starts with easy, heartfelt conversations about what you love, what makes your relationship unique, and how you want to remember this day.
I take on only a small number of elopements each year, so I can give you the devotion and care you deserve. From our first conversation to the moment you hold your album in your hands — you’ll have my full attention and creative energy every step of the way.

You don't need to know the details, just start brainstorming what time of year you love, what activities bring you closer, and where in the world you've always wanted to go!
I'll work with you to design a custom itinerary incorporating everything you want for your day, from sunrise hiking to a picnic lunch by a waterfall. Lean on me! Planning is my happy place, and I know so much about Western Montana and all the hidden gems.
When your wedding day is here, all you have to do is enjoy it, experience it with your partner, and create memories together. I'll be there to document the magic and guide you through your own adventure. And when it's over, you'll have those moments captured in timeless images forever.
Whether you want a private sunrise ceremony, lakeside in Glacier, or you want a classic wedding at a local venue, reaching out is the first step to having your own planning expert to bounce ideas and bring your vision into focus. I'll be with you through every step of the process as your cheerleader, advocate, and guide.
We honor their enduring relationship with this land and their ongoing contributions to the cultural, spiritual, and ecological well-being of the region.
With humility and deep gratitude, we recognize that our ability to hold elopements in these beautiful places is possible because of the care and stewardship of the Indigenous peoples who have lived on and honored this land, including:
The Niitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy)
The Séliš (Bitterroot Salish)
The Ksanka (Kootenai)
The Ql̓ispé (Pend d’Oreille)
