These pics up Cathedral Rock are from one of my all time favorite engagement sessions with two absolute gems of humans. We laughed so hard and had so much fun my face hurt. Bonding over dark humor and life stories- although I still need to read Dungeon Crawler Carl (it’s on my tbr), I still grin thinking about how much fun I had.

The mountains are calling.
The San Juan Mountains are such a magical place it is hard to put into words. I grew up in mountains, literally all over the world, but there’s something about the small mountain towns and endless mountain peaks of Western Colorado that makes me feel more at home than anywhere else. I love Arizona, but I always look forward to coming home to the Colorado during the summer to spend time with family and help couples get married out in this epic wilderness.

I have a couple of slots open in July-August if you are interested in a mountain elopement or wedding during my stay!

Heather and Tyler’s sunrise elopement in Sedona hit all the marks 💕

Sunrise elopements aren’t for everyone, but if you’re up for an early wake up call the payoff is well worth it!

Chilly days exploring trails less traveled = some of my favorite elopement adventures.

Are Sedona’s red rocks calling your name?

I never tire of these endless canyn views, nooks and crannies, epic overlooks, cacti and desert trees. I love helping my couples find the perfect place that makes their adventurous wedding come together in a perfectly them way.
Let’s create the adventurous elopement of your dreams! Reach out to get started ☺️

I’m deep in the editing cave for so many of the incredible stories I’ve had the honor to witness this spring season, but I had to pause for a second and just say… wowzas.

Every time I look through these galleries, I’m hit with this overwhelming wave of gratitude. For the couples who trust me. For the wild, beautiful places I get to work in. For the chance to be there, in the middle of one of the most important chapters of someone’s life. And somehow, I get to call that my job.

But my favorite part? The messages after. Telling me about a new pup, a new home, a new baby. The marriage.

To all if my couples- THANK YOU for this life filled with joyful new chapters. I’ll never take it for granted.
