This is the concern of nearly all of my couples, and no matter what I help them relax! I play music to keep things light and fun, I got dad jokes to relax you, and after nearly 20 years of directing couples, have made it my mission to make sure you feel comfortable and your best selves!

Rarely, only 1 maybe 2 a year. We say if you’re the right fit then we’ll make it work. But for majority of our sessions we do elopements with just the couple or 25 guests or less. We want to keep things as stress-FREE as possible! We want to keep the focus on you two and your day.

Abso-freakin-lutely!..but to an extent. I can give you referrals for anything you need. Florists, hair and makeup are the most common. But if you need someone to help the day of the wedding (not an elopement), I recommend a wedding planner. For elopements it’s a little more extensive. But I have been known to help with getting your permits, officiating (yep, I am ordained!), making your timeline, and everything else in between to make sure your day goes as smoothly as possible.

Yes to both! No love story is too far for me to document it. Nothing makes me more happy than when either one of us travels for the session. Because I grew up and live in one of the most beautiful places on the western United States, I have had couples all over the country travel here for photos. I in turn have traveled to over 40 locations, state side and international for my clients. I go where you want your love story to start!

Well we do love flying in a helicopter or plane to get to remote locations with our couples! We however carry a lot of heavy gear so we typically keep our hikes to 1-2 miles. We prefer that our couples not be sweaty and out of breath when ready to have their ceremony.

No, as I believe that editing is half the magic that goes into images and without this huge step the images are only halfway done. I promise to never leave any photos out that you’ll want/need, and if you feel I missed delivering a photo, just ask! I’m more than happy to check back through my images and send it over to you (I make mistakes, no lie!). I won’t let you miss out on your memories!

If you’ve already put a retainer down on a date then have to cancel it, the retainer is non-refundable and a new retainer will have to be made in order to hold your new date. But if you just need to move your date and I am available. You’re covered. Also depending on how close to your date that you cancel  you may owe the remainder of your contract.

I once fell 3 hours before an elopement. Went to the ER, got stitches, wrapped it and put on pain killers and still rocked the hell out of that elopement! So trust me when I say I would only miss your wedding if it were out of my control (act of god, illness, death, etc) but in this case I would do my best to help find a replacement photographer to take my place that I trust with a similar style, although I’m not legally held to do so. If I can’t make it to your wedding your money will be refunded including the retainer.

I always like to encourage my clients to go for it. It typically leads to more dramatic photos. But if it’s going to be bad enough that we’ll all be very miserable, or my gear is at risk, we will reschedule.

It’s for those couples wanting engagements, a proposal, anniversary photos but also want to explore the great outdoors. It’s also super helpful to get to know me and what it’s like to be in front of my camera to make your elopement day more comfortable!

Nope. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
