I am so stoked that you decided to break out of the mold and plan a wedding day that is totally unique to you, full of all of your favorite things.
Ever find a restaurant that looks so good -- but you realized you almost had too many options?
If you realized you can do anything you like on your wedding, but have no idea what you even want your wedding day to look like -- I am so glad you're here!
I help couples just like you dream up the most "perfectly them" elopement, from intimate game nights in cozy cabins, to a coffee shop date before a privately catered dinner, to a hiking adventure in the wilderness.
With over ten years of experience, I will be by your side through the planning process, offering my insight & expertise!
I'm your list-making, pro-tip sharing, happy-dancing, backup-planning, weirdness-affirming, adventure-loving, third-wheeling, elopement experience creator too.
I specialize in drinking chai tea lattes, and watching Gilmore Girls reruns! I also specialize in capturing the story & scenery of your celebration.
As a full service wedding photographer in Grand Junction, my mission is to preserve your favorite moments in beautiful images for you to relive those best moments of life that fly by too fast.
A Little About Me...
I believe there’s no better sight than the night sky at 10,000 feet.
I also believe you should be able to be authentically you on your wedding day. Whether that’s an off-beat elopement or more traditional wedding celebration, I strive to capture each genuine moment.
I strive to capture the day as it unfolds, every candid moment to perfectly preserve your story. I’m a fly on the wall and many guests say they never noticed me! However I’m not afraid to step up and make family formals fly by (people need to know where to stand and what to do with their hands!) I’m a happy medium between posed and candid.

LOCATION SCOUTING
I will help you with location suggestions, whether you already know what you’re looking for but need help finding the perfect match, or you have no idea what you want and need help narrowing it down with you. After a quick questionnaire to get a good feel for your needs, I'll create a guide for some of my favorite spots that fit, and we'll hop on Zoom to go over the pros and cons together. I will also help guide you through applying for any required permits we may need for those spots.
TIMELINE PLANNING
Whether you’re planning activities for your elopement or just need help with timing the perfect sunset ceremony, I love to help my couples with creating the perfect timeline for the day. I'll create an agenda, with as much specific or general timing as we want, and what spots and activities we'll be doing there.
ACTIVITY IDEAS
From helping you brainstorm ideas you’ve never considered, to helping you with the logistics of making those ideas happen, consider me your go-to person to bounce things off of!
VENDOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Having helped couples elope in these areas for over nine years now, I’ve gotten to know tons of pros to recommend to help bring your visions to life.
GROUP PHOTO LIST CREATION
If you’re having guests along for the day, I will help create a formals list so that we have a list of shots to make sure we’re not missing any combos on the day-of.
ELOPEMENT GUIDE
You'll receive access to my 124 page elopement guide full of everything you could ever have questions about for how to elope! From marriage license navigation, to emergency kit checklists, to advice for what to wear, to choosing your lodging, and so much more - this guide is your new best friend.
After you've had the best day marrying your life partner, you're probably excited to share this new life stage with your loved ones...
That's why I provide an extensive sneak peek gallery within 24-48 hours of your elopement! You won't have to wait long for a selection of 20-40 images telling the summarized story of your day to hit your inbox so you can share with everyone you know.
