This. All these vibes every day. I’d be ok with that!

This was originally supposed to be an all day elopement that we split into two days.

Talk about freaking epic! And this is just the preview!!! 😍

When you do an all day/multi day elopement, you get to see so much more and the stress of having to rush melts away.

@dani_esler and @lillian.rose36 you two are amazing. Your love for each other is so incredibly beautiful. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your big day.

Going to miss these views..

Heading down to Yosemite tomorrow morning for an elopement on Friday. When we get back we’ll have only 6 days left before heading south for the winter!

Becoming a snowbird was never something I thought I would become, at least not before the age of 65! But last year my body didn’t go into the usual seasonal depression like it usually does. I felt more alive and excited for the winter months. I got more vitamin D in those 3 months than I did in the 9 months before it!

We are extending our time down there this year by a month and a half! So expect to see some red rocks and desert photos coming to the grid and reels soon!

Until then, be safe out there and dress warmly!

Watching my “to do” list slowly dwindle down is the best feeing. Second only to photographing a stunning elopement like Delaney and Tyler’s in my favorite place in the world!

Some friendly advice from your photographer..

Since I love shooting in National Parks I thought this might be helpful! I hear it all the time “We’ve never planned a wedding before but we want to get marring in *fill in the blank* National Park!”

So I figured I would give some guidance to those of you who are wanting to have their big day in a big National park!

Some of this info might be a moment of “duh!” while others might be a moment of clarity. Either way, I hope this helps and I am excited to get you started with your planning!
