Step Into the Day You've Been Dreaming Of

Imagine this: You wake up in your destination in a dreamy Airbnb — maybe it’s a woodsy cabin on the Oregon coast, an A-frame on the Olympic Peninsula, or a luxe stay with views for days.

You’re wrapped in a blanket, sipping coffee, the kind that tastes better just because today is the day.

The vibe?
  • Intimate, laid-back, and meaningful
  • A car ride, a playlist, and your person
  • Foggy forests, soft light, and laughter in the wild
  • No rules. Just you, your love + a damn good day

Your elopement isn’t a performance. It’s a creative collaboration — spontaneous, soulful, and shaped entirely around you. The outfits are fire. The location is unreal. The love? Very much real.

This is what you've been looking for.


I GET IT – YOU WANT MORE THAN JUST PRETTY PHOTOS

You don't want a stiff, posed experience that feels inauthentic or a day filled with stress and regret.

You want:
  • To be your real selves without judgment
  • A relaxed, beautiful day
  • Photos that feel like a memory + a movie all at once

You’ve probably been told to "tone it down." To fit the mold. Not today, Satan. Not here. Self-expression is everything here.

I create space for the weird, wild, and wonderful — so your day (and your photos) reflect who you really are.


Overwhelmed? Too many tabs open in your brain? Decision fatigue creeping in?

I’ve got you. I can help you:
  • Build a custom, flexible timeline that lets you breathe
  • Find stunning, easy-to-get-to locations that match your vibe
  • Navigate permits, places to stay, and any other "wait, what do we do?" moments
  • Plan just enough so spontaneity can do its thing

You've got this, just reach out. We'll navigate it together. No pressure, no overwhelm.

"It instantly felt like we’d known each other for years. Luke made us comfortable like we were hanging out with an old friend, and the photos are stunning — perfectly capturing our personalities and our day. His creativity blew us away."

"I WANT TO RELIVE THE DAY I'D HIRE HIM AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT"

this is what it looks like to turn your love into art

"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 🖤

– Samantha + Tanner

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.

– Ashley + Ben

"He really was able to capture the love between my husband and i. His eye is amazing."

"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.

I’m Luke (he/him), a destination elopement photographer specializing in the Pacific Northwest, dedicated to capturing raw, cinematic art for unconventional lovers who crave something beyond cookie-cutter coverage.

I’ve been obsessed with visual storytelling since I was a tyke — theater, drawing, photographing, always chasing that one feeling you can’t put into words.

People say it’s easy to be yourself around me, and that’s kind of the whole point. I create space for you to show up fully, whether you're laughing your face off in the desert or getting misty-eyed in the mountains.

If you want to be seen, celebrated, and gently guided into an unforgettable, intentional experience that feels more like a memory than a production, I’m your guy. :)

Meet Your Cinematic Third Wheel

here's what's always included:

When we work together, you’re not just hiring a photographer. You’re getting a creative partner and experience guide.
