Thank god.
You're not here for a traditional wedding.
You want something real. Something fun. Something that doesn’t feel like you’re performing for a room full of 100+ people you barely know.
You want a day that actually feels good – one where choosing what excites you matters more than doing what’s expected.
Maybe you're exploring otherworldly Oregon landscapes (or wherever your heart’s pulling you), laughing your asses off, tearing up during your vows, and ending the night under the stars or in your Airbnb's hot tub sipping some bubbly.
You’re dreaming of photos that stop you in your tracks — the kind you’ll want to print huge the second you get them back.
If you’re here for a damn good time and someone who'll work with you to create photos that'll knock your socks off – hi, I’m your guy.
I photograph elopements for couples who don’t want the boring version of getting married.
I’m your chill, atmosphere-driven third wheel who’s down to explore multiple stunning locations, guide things when it matters, follow the light when it pops off, and grin ear-to-ear behind the camera while you two look like absolute icons.
My work’s been featured by Today, Junebug Weddings, Bridal Guide, and LOOKSLIKEFILM — but what really matters to me is helping you feel comfortable + making imagery that feels like you.
I’m here for:
✦ experience over tradition
✦ gorgeous light
✦ emotional honesty
✦ cool Airbnbs + resorts
✦ weird ideas
✦ road trips
✦ ethereal vibes
✦ and creating photos that are alive
If you want someone who understands why your wedding day should feel free, meaningful, and fun, we’re probably a great fit.
I’m currently based in the Midwest, but I photograph elopements in Oregon and all over elsewhere — the airport is basically my second home at this point.
Hey, I'm Luke.
No hours-long hikes. No overthinking. No stress. Just exploring gorgeous spots all day with your person.
