Hey, I’m Luke (he/him), an Oregon elopement photographer for couples who want to ditch the ordinary and create a day that feels alive, not forced.
My approach when working with you is simple: keep it honest, keep it fun, and co-create a photo experience that’s intimate, cinematic, and rooted in who you are — whether we’re wandering in a mystical forest, chasing fog along the coast, or pointing out constellations in the desert.
I fully encourage you to be your full sentimental, real-as-hell weirdo selves around me.
What's up, friend?
Your photos will be a blend of striking, wall-worthy imagery and honest storytelling that’s emotional and alive.
I’ve been featured in Today (still 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. :)
This is what it looks like to turn your love into art.
"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. I want to relive the day and I’d hire him again in a heartbeat."
– Emily + Tyler
"IT INSTANTLY FELT LIKE WE'D KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR YEARS."
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 listening to your favorite playlist.
Want to wander, hit a few locations, change outfits, share a quiet picnic in the woods, soak in your Airbnb 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 ❤️🔥
Fun fact: the airport’s my second home.
I’ll follow your love anywhere, from the misty Pacific Northwest, California's golden coastline, the red rocks of the American Southwest to Mexico, Europe and beyond.
My travel's always included, so if the landscape means something to you, it’ll mean something to me.
