Hey, I’m Luke (he/him), an Oregon elopement photographer since 2018 for couples who want something real.
My approach is simple: keep it honest, keep it fun, and co-create photos that actually feel like you while we explore and take in the sights. You can be your full, quirky, sentimental, real-as-hell selves around me. (That’s kind of my whole thing.)
WHAT'S UP, FRIEND?
Your photos will be a blend of dramatic, wall-worthy imagery and honest, documentary-style storytelling that’s emotional, real, and alive.
I’ve been featured in Today (still mentally processing that), Junebug Weddings, Bridal Guide, LOOKSLIKEFILM, and more... but honestly, the best part is when couples say it felt like hanging out with an old friend who made magic behind the camera the whole time.
Eloping isn’t running away — it’s breaking free from all the pressure and expectations that don’t feel like you.
You can say your vows on a foggy Oregon beach, explore waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge, or road-trip through the Alvord desert with your favorite playlist blasting.
Want to go on a road trip and hit up multiple spots, picnic in the forest, change outfits, get tattoos, chill in your Airbnb's hot tub, or end the night by stargazing?
Whether it’s just you two or you’re joined by your ride-or-dies, I’ll help plan, scout, and shape your timeline so you can relax, explore, and live it up while I capture the goodness.
WHEN YOU ELOPE, YOU MAKE THE RULES
IF IT SETS YOUR HEARTS ON FIRE, LET'S DO IT ❤️🔥
the best Oregon elopement locations
samuel h. boardman + redwoods
Cannon beach + oswald west
the columbia river gorge
Waterfalls that roar, wildflowers that stretch for miles, and moody overlooks just 30 minutes from Portland. Perfect for couples who want epic scenery without going off-grid.
Sea stacks, forest trails, and cozy coastal towns. From foggy cliffs to golden beaches, this stretch of the Oregon Coast gives you that iconic PNW drama and those soft, romantic moments.
Rugged cliffs, secret beaches, ancient forests, and that windswept, edge-of-the-earth energy. Want the Oregon Coast and the California Redwoods in one day? This is the place.
from the coast to the gorge
You’ve probably scrolled through several elopement photographers by now. You already know what’s on the menu — timelines, location scouting, vendor help, all that good stuff.
Here’s what I’ll actually promise: I’ll take care of you in the ways that matter. I’ll help you plan your experience, find unique locations, create space for real moments, and document it all with honesty and heart.
MORE THAN JUST A PHOTOGRAPHER? YOU BETCHA.
YOUR DAY, YOUR WAY
Your wedding day should feel like you two against the world — no stress, no scripts, no pressure. Just your real connection, stunning scenery, and that quiet joy that reminds you why you fell in love in the first place.
Ready to build a day so real + electric, you’ll want to relive it for the rest of your life?
