Your Love Story, Your Art Project
This isn’t just your elopement — it’s your moment to leave the ordinary behind and dive headfirst into something extraordinary. Your story deserves to be told in bold, vivid strokes, full of meaning and magic.
Picture this: wandering through a mossy forest alive with ancient magic, stargazing in Joshua Tree watching the sky for UFOs, or exploring ethereal beaches that feel like you're on another planet.
This is your moment to shake things up. Let’s lean into your style, embrace the unexpected, and craft a celebration that’s totally yours.
PHOTOS FOR ANYONE UNAFRAID TO BE THEMSELVES
A big wedding just isn't for everyone. You want something real, something meaningful, something that *actually* feels like you. But to be honest, getting there can feel like a lot:

- Striving for meaning: Will this truly feel like you and your story?
Let’s toss out the rulebook to craft a day that’s all you — a whole experience celebrating your quirks, your love, and the light you bring to each other.

How This Experience Hits Different
Road-Trip-Style Adventures
Think short sunset hikes and scenic drives, visiting multiple beautiful views while embracing a go-with-the-flow vibe — no exhausting treks required. This is all about the journey, not just the destination.
Empathetic + Inclusive AF
As an LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent person who’s been othered, I know how important it is to feel seen. You’ll have a safe space to celebrate fully, where you’ll feel supported every step of the way.
Creativity Meets Comfort
Whether your vision is bold and artsy or filled with playful, intimate candids, we’ll bring it to life with a relaxed, creative approach that lets your connection shine effortlessly.
Choosing the Right Photographer Matters
- Other Photographers’ Focus: Some care more about getting a free vacation or checking off bucket-list destinations than creating a meaningful experience for you.
- The result? Stressful planning, stiff photos, and a day that doesn’t feel like you.

- Skip the overwhelm: I’ll help with the details like scouting epic locations, dealing with permits, and crafting a stress-free timeline.

That's not how I do things.

LET'S PLAN YOUR BEST DAY EVER
"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 🖤

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.
