This boat wedding in the San Diego Marina was stunning! The golden sunset light was perfect during the ceremony, and the small collection of dear friends who came together to celebrate A & J were the most supportive, loving folks. I couldn’t image a more perfect way to get married with your loved ones present!

D & B’s elopement at White Sands National Park began at the Alkali Flat Trailhead—one of the only established hiking trails amongst the dunes, and the best place to watch the sunset at White Sands. It’s truly one of the most unique landscapes you’ll ever see!

J & L planned the sweetest backyard ceremony for their elopement in Taos, New Mexico! They rented out an adorable classic adobe home within walking distance of downtown and invited no one but their dog, Amelia. From getting ready together, to watching the sun set behind the Sangre de Cristo mountains, I cant imagine a more perfect day!

This elopement in Lone Pine, California began began before sunrise with C & E getting dressed by the light of their Tacoma’s headlamps. Then, as alpenglow hit Mt. Whitney they said their vows. It was a perfect fall morning, complete with dirt bikes and a coffee break. I can’t imagine a better way to get married!

This windy elopement at White Sands National Park near Las Cruces New Mexico might have been the best sunset I’ve ever seen there! The winds were so strong the grains of sand flowed past our feet like water, and all the particles in the air caught the light to add drama to the golden colors.

It’s not often I do family sessions, but I always love them! Family sessions are an opportunity to relax and show your silly sides, not pose for photos like this is JC Penny’s in the 90s. We want to see your real, authentic selves! Extra bonus points if you bring your dog.

Colorado is one of the best places in the world to elope! Choose from mountain villages, waterfalls, hikes of all distances and difficulties, and appreciate this colorful landscape for all the adventures it offers.

This desert wedding explored one of my favorite, lesser-known corners of Sedona. The desert of the southwest was on full, colorful display this evening as D & A said their vows while the orange rocks of craggy spires turned red all around them.

Engagement photos at the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge in Taos, New Mexico | This sweet couple’s session took place two days before C & D tied the knot in The Land of Enchantment. It was cold and a little snowy, but the sun was shining!

Engagement Photos in Flagstaff, Arizona | Check out these stunning sunset photos from a recent engagement session in Flagstaff. This was a discounted add-on to an elopement photo package, and a perfect way for the couple to get comfortable in front of the camera before their big day!

The DIY details of this backyard wedding were stunning! From the handmade wooden arch decorated with gorgeous flowers, to the table decor and close-to-nature vibes weaved into each aspect of this wedding with intention—I was blown away!

M & M decided to get married in Santa Fe many months before their date, but never could have guessed Feb. 2nd would see one of the harshest snow storms this corner of New Mexico had experienced in years! All their plans went out the window and instead of a hiking ceremony, they shared their vows in the balcony of their hotel. They were determined to enjoy the ride, and these two had the happiest/most memorable wedding day!

R & D chose Fragrance Lake for their anniversary session because it was one of the few hikes off Chuckanut Drive they had not yet done since moving to Bellingham a few months prior. It was a perfect, sunny afternoon and we only saw a few other people the whole time we were hiking!

This sunrise session at Artist Point—near the Mount Baker Ski Area outside Bellingham, Washington—was absolutely perfect! The skies were unusually clear, the alpenglow on-point, and the dogs were cute as can be. This stunning family in one of the most beautiful places on earth resulted in pictures truly spectacular!

E & B chose White Sands for their engagement photo session because it was actually their first choice of a wedding venue. But, when they realized getting all their favorite humans together in the remote park would prove too difficult, they still wanted to honor their love of wild desert spaces.

Summer is the best time of year for photos at Hatcher’s Pass, and Hatcher’s Pass is my favorite accessible mountain location near Anchorage.

Truth or Consequences, New Mexico isn’t just a town with a funny name—the lake pictured here is just one of the hidden gems in this corner of The Land of Enchantment!

This Hoh Rainforest Elopement took place on one of my favorite trails in Olympic National Park—the Hall of Mosses. It’s a short, accessible look trail that takes you through some of the most stunning moss-covered old growth forest.

This “steamy session” in a natural hot spring tub is such a beautifully intimate portrait into a moment with this incredible couple. Would you ever consider doing a steamy couples session!?

Angel Fire Elopement | This wedding in Angel Fire, New Mexico took place in the spring. Snow was still covering the ground in patches and the bride wore a fake fur wrap to keep warm. The ceremony took place outdoors in a stand of pine trees, with dramatic dark clouds threatening rain that never came.
