Unscripted Elopements for Open-Hearted Lovers of the Unconventional + Authentic

Minnesota elopement + intimate wedding photographer serving Washington, Oregon, California & beyond.

Dreaming of a Wedding Day that’s totally “you”?

Picture this: a day exploring breathtaking locations, away from the usual crowds, with just the two of you laughing and being your real selves.

No forced poses or strict timelines — just genuine moments and the magic of your surroundings.

If finding someone who truly gets that vibe has been tough, you’re in the right place.

Think of me as your adventure guide and elopement expert. I’ve got your back.

PHOTOS FOR ANYONE UNAFRAID TO BE THEMSELVES

Growing up queer + neurodivergent, I get what it's like to feel squished in a world that values conformity. 

Your elopement photos are gonna be a freaking VIBE – heartfelt, whimsical, passionate & striking.

Your memories will be captured at your truest and your you-est, taking you right back to this surreal adventure & how it felt.


You will always be encouraged to be your most creative, bold, unapologetic, free, spontaneous *real* selves.

We're all about radical self-love and free expression 'round here. It's good for the soul, plus it makes for incredible photos ;)

The thing I loved most and that everyone can just see is that he really was able to capture the love between my husband and I, in such a lovely way, I just really feel like it captured OUR love and that it wasn't staged, forced or posed. It was just us, dorkiness and all, and he captured that pure happiness and uniqueness. His eye is amazing and he just really made the day magical and fun.

"It instantly felt like we'd known each other for years. I want to relive the day and I'd hire him again in a heartbeat."

My husband and I hired Luke for our intimate wedding in Joshua Tree National Park from sunrise to sunset and it instantly felt like we’d known each other for years. He made us comfortable and it felt like we had an old friend shooting our wedding. The photos are stunning and perfectly captured our personalities and our wedding day. He also had knowledge of the park and area so that we could trust him to location scout and not have to worry about it. In addition he is so creative and captured some amazing pool and lantern photos, coming up with ideas on the spot in different locations that ended up turning out great. I want to relive the day and I’d hire him again in a heartbeat.

"Our house is going to become a shrine of all our adventures because we can't pick our favorites!"

Everything went so perfectly. Luke made it so easy and effortless and fun. You can just tell he loves his job and that makes it so easy to work with him. He hyped us up which helped make some amazing artwork and because of that we have so many STUNNING memories captured. Our house is going to become a shrine of all our adventures because we can’t pick our favorites 😂 We are so blessed to have worked with THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER and hope that our paths will cross again in the future 🖤
