Thru-hiker, wildflower aficionado, fern finder, adventure-seeker, & I married my best friend in Iceland.

I eloped too.

So I've been in your shoes.

pnw expert. fellow eloper.

We got soaking wet standing underneath a waterfall during a double-rainbow and exchanged vows in a field of lupines in front of a volcano. And it was the BIGGEST adventure of our life. And it shaped how I approach every elopement I photograph.

It isn't lost on me how precious this moment is in your life. I'm so grateful for every couple that trusts me to guide them through their elopement. I know how much this day matters. And because I've been there myself, I bring perspective that goes beyond just taking photos.

I'm also an art educator and en plein air painter

Living in the mountains, it's hard not to be inspired to paint these beautiful landscapes! I paint en plein air (out in nature). And I also run my Art Youtube Channel where I educate other artists and share more about myself.

This is my creative film I made from my thru hike in Sweden in 2023
