Seems like all the cool kids today are adventure elopement photographers, huh?
And to be honest, I thought that's what I wanted to market myself as being, too.
This super-niche, super-adventurous elopement only photographer who would only hang out with the super-adventurous couples who basically all looked like Instagram models and who wanted to buck tradition and do their own thing.
(Come on. You know exactly what I'm referring to. Especially if you follow any wedding account on social media).

and i'm here to help you do that.
Over the years, I've discovered it's not the elopement itself I've been chasing, but the desire to help couples combine the freedom, flexibility, and untraditional aspects of an elopement into their traditionally-modern wedding day.
To help couples think outside the constraints of what's expected for their wedding and to show that their day can be wholly them and wholly unique while including friends and family members.
