"I was speechless at how you captured me in your photos that day, they were raw, honest, and beautiful."

-Sascha

Ditchthe templatetradition.

Let's focus on what really matters and create a different kind of wedding experience that matches your fun lifestyle.

Instead of:

wasting time and resources on a wedding you aren't even excited about, invest in the most epic twenty-four-hours you two have ever had
getting stuck living out someone else's dream, feel free to embrace your own without judgement
feeling rushed through what is supposed to be the most exciting day of your life, make it intentional, meaningful, and playful.
being shuffled around and forced to have fun on a schedule, ditch the traditional template and embrace a magical day centered around you two

I'm more than just an elopement photographer, I want to share all my secrets and help you design a day that just feels right.

You deserve:

a wedding day full of spontaneous fun, adventure, and the great outdoors
a day filled with so much laughter and love you can't help but adore every second of it
a photographer who encourages you to live out every whim uninhibited without judgement

Enjoyevery momenttears of joy.

The beauty of elopements is that each one is unique, just like your love. Your wedding should be a refection of who you are and your values.

Imagine having the freedom to:

enjoy moments with overwhelming beauty and emotion, with no timeline or expectations
express your love and vows without pressure --it's just you two, there's no need to hold back or censor your real-life kind of love
celebrate your commitment to each other on a day filled with intention and living in the moment
