YOUR GUIDE TO THE OTHER SIDE

Most wedding days feel like this world. I'm interested in the other one.

I photograph elopements that feel like they exist slightly outside of normal life – intentional, atmospheric, and completely yours.

The days I love most have flow, intentional pacing, and space to actually enjoy what you’re doing and soak in your surroundings. I’ll guide you into strong moments, clean compositions, and flattering light, then step back and let things unfold naturally.

You don’t have to perform, and you don’t have to guess.

I care about how your day feels and how it looks because when those two things align, the photos end up honest, cinematic, and alive.

Sounds like your kind of day? I think we'll get along just fine.

"We made some incredible new core memories, and now our house is basically becoming a shrine to these photos. We couldn’t be happier with the experience."

Why I do this.

I’ve had a camera in my hand since I was a kid, and my very first booking back in 2018 was a seven-person elopement. Long before elopements blew up post-COVID, I was already in love with documenting these intimate, intentional days.

Since then, I’ve learned from some of the best in the industry, and my work’s been featured by Junebug Weddings, Bridal Guide, LOOKSLIKEFILM, Today, and more.

Wherever we go — foggy cliffs, desert canyons, mossy forests — the goal’s the same: to have a damn good time and turn your love into lasting, head-turning art.




EXPERIENCE THAT RUNS DEEP

I don’t just document your elopement.
I help you shape your experience.

That means holding a creative vision, reading the room in real time, and guiding when it actually helps while leaving space for things to unfold naturally.

A few things that define my approach:

A few things worth knowing.

EXPERIENCE THAT RUNS DEEP

We prioritize flow, light, and experience over rigid timelines or long hikes. Multiple locations, scenic drives, and time to settle into the day, all without it feeling like a production.

Flow-First, Multi-Location Days

Editorial when it fits. Candid when it matters. Emotional, stylish photos that feel natural rather than staged. Direction when needed, hands-off when not. 

Atmosphere-Driven, Cinematic Imagery

I want you to feel safe being your real selves all day, not "on." Whether your dynamic is tender, goofy, intimate, bold, or all of the above, it's all welcome.

No Pressure, No Performance

You don’t need a fully formed plan.
You don’t need perfect ideas.
You just need a sense of what you want your day to feel like.

I can help you out with the rest.

I'm neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and I grew up in a world that didn't really suit me. So I stopped trying to fit it and built my own instead. I've been shooting elopements since 2018, back before they were everywhere. My first solo wedding was actually a 7-person elopement, and I've never looked back.

These days I'm drawn to locations with a slightly mysterious and otherworldly vibe, the kinds of places that make you feel like you've stepped into a story that's larger than life.

(I'm also genuinely into UFOs, ghosts, and liminal spaces, which tracks if you've seen the logo.)

(Also, I'm a nomad at heart and love having damn good time with cool folks.)

A little about me.

I know what it feels like to be misaligned — numbed out, surviving instead of living, going through motions that were never really yours. I hate that feeling.

And I really hate the idea of you sleepwalking through something as important as getting married.

So my work is the opposite of that.

I want you to actually feel your life while you're living it, and then have something honest that proves it mattered.

Days where you don't have to perform. Where you're not stuck in someone else's expectations. Where the photos reflect your real dynamic, not a template, and let you relive the feeling, not just the visuals.

The best compliment I get isn't "we love the photos." It's "you captured exactly how it felt to be there."

Here's my real "why."

I refuse to live a misaligned life, and I'm here to help you refuse it too.

Unreal Elopement Locations

Destinations that act as a character in the story you're there to tell.

The High Desert

The Atlantic Wilds

The Pacific Northwest

Tulum + The Yucatan

The Old World Coast

The good ol' PNW – a world of moody sea stacks, churning waterfalls, and the kind of deep, mystical forest quiet that makes you actually breathe. It’s for the deep-feelers who want drama and atmosphere. Think misty coastlines, ancient pines, and a day that feels completely grounded.

Best Time to Elope: March-November (late July–early October for mountains)
I’m in love with the minimalist, sculptural energy of the Southwest — the chic stays, the red rocks, and that specific high-desert road-trip energy. Whether we’re in Moab or Joshua Tree, the goal is to feel small in the best way possible. Maybe we’ll end the night under a blanket of stars or in a hot tub with champagne.

Best Time to Elope: February–April, September–October
This is for anyone who wants to go big and chase Icelandic waterfalls or the wild, rugged cliffs of the Scottish highlands. It’s raw, isolated, and unmistakably epic — the kind of place where the scenery feels like a movie set. We’ll chase light through rugged landscapes and build a story you’ll never stop talking about.

Best Time to Elope: May–October (midnight sun recommended June-August for Iceland)
For dreamers wanting high-contrast editorial moments and quiet cliffside vows along the Mediterranean. From the white-washed minimalism of the Greek Isles to the vibrant facades of the Italian Coast, the light and atmosphere here are something else. We’ll skip the tourist traps and find spots where you can relax and soak in the moment.

Best Time to Elope: March–May, September–November
I love the way brutalist concrete and textural luxury meet the wild, emerald foliage of the tropical jungle here. This is for couples looking for a trip-first experience centered on art and architecture. We’ll spend the day between design-forward boutique hotels and the silent, turquoise depths of a private cenote.

Best Time to Elope: November–March

"It felt like hanging out with a friend who just happened to be taking incredible photos. Nothing felt forced — it was just us, and he captured it perfectly.”
