YOUR LOVE, YOUR WAY

Like you, I believe a celebration of your relationship should center around Y-O-U.

For some reason this seems to be considered

"non-traditional", so that’s what we'Ll call it.

This is a chance to focus on the reality that somehow, you exist on this tiny planet spinning in a massive universe, TOGETHER.

That's a difficult thing to do amidst a sea of watchful (and potentially judging?) eyes, or a big, people-pleasing party where you’re pulled a million different directions.

Preach! so what are my options?

A safe and supportive place for all my

Non-traditional couples who feel at home in nature

REVIEWS FROM REAL COUPLES

Throw the rule book out the window - you don’t need it:

Make your own traditions

Experience unique locations

Two brides are standing on a mountain after the sun has set holding a lantern with headlamps on during their elopement. They are on a mountain with their Asheville elopement photographer.

With me, there’s no restrictions on when and how you honor your partnership. Whether you plan to have a one-time elopement, multiple vow renewals, or infinite celebrations of your shared life without the legal marriage piece, I’ll be cheering you on and excited to capture your story.

And while other photographers & videographers typically stick to the same popular spots, I’ll take you to more locally known locations that offer chances for peace and quiet. Every piece of your experience will be one-of-a-kind.

yes! give me the deets!

Picking a stranger to invite in to some of the most
intimate & emotional moments of your life is hard.

How do you decide who to trust? Who will make you feel safe and comfortable, so you can be yourself?

She/Her/Hers

I almost became an art therapist back in my college days, but I decided to follow my heart & pursue a photography degree instead. That landed me here, running this little business of mine for almost a decade now! But, I'm still a big softie at heart, and that gentle, calming energy comes in handy for your celebration.
