You crave more than just pretty photos...
You want a day that actually feels like you.

You’re not planning a cookie-cutter wedding. You want an experience that’s real, intimate, and wildly intentional. Whether that means eloping on a cliff at sunrise, bringing your closest people to the coast, or simply choosing a day that feels honest and slow — you’re here to do things your way.

but at this point, you’ve probably realized that eloping (or planning a non-traditional wedding) isn’t actually as simple as it sounds...

By now, I’m sure you’ve noticed how overwhelming the choices can feel — where to go, what permits you need, how much time to plan for, or even what to do with the day.


But here's the thing:

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need someone who gets it, and who will walk with you through the process — start to finish.

We’ll kick things off with a phone or video chat — a chance for us to connect, dream big, and make sure we’re a perfect match. This lets me get to know you on a deeper and personal level — your style, your love story, your “this feels like us” details — so we can craft a day that feels 100% true to you.
We’ll team up to bring your day to life — from choosing the perfect spot to say “I do” to figuring out what you’ll do after, whether it’s a scenic hike, a private dinner, or a toast under the stars. Consider me your creative sidekick and trusted guide. I'll get to know you, learn what sparks your soul, and collaborate with you to craft a rich, intimate experience filled with activities and moments that celebrate exactly who you are. 
Not sure where to say “I do”? Tell me your wishlist — forests, mountains, sand dunes, city rooftop — and I’ll match you with a spot that feels meant for you. You’re not left guessing or overwhelmed by choices; instead, you get a curated list of stunning locations tailored to your story, making choosing a spot effortless and fun where you can be fully present together.

Looking for a florist who gets you, a makeup artist who plays up your natural glow, or a private chef for dinner under the stars? I’ll connect you with vendors I trust. Your team will be made up of pros who align with your style and values — making sure everything comes together smoothly and effortlessly on your big day.
Your photos come presented in a beautifully curated online gallery — easy to view, download, and share with those you love. Reliving your day will be effortless — from clicking through your gallery over a glass of wine together, to sending a link to your family — it's a rich, intimate way to keep the feeling alive for years to come.
Any time you have a wild idea, a tiny question, or a big “wait, how does this work?” moment, just pop into my messages and we’ll figure it out together! Consider me your built-in bestie and sounding board — here to ease your stress, celebrate your choices, and make sure your day feels effortlessly YOU from start to finish.
