IMAGINE YOUR WEDDING DAY…
Imagine your wedding day that’s completely about your love for one another.
Imagine feeling fully comfortable in front of the camera, knowing your photographer will gently guide you to look your best.
Imagine spending your entire wedding day together, exploring an incredible area and doing what you love.
Imagine receiving hundreds of images of your best day ever, and getting to keep every one with no extra charge.
Imagine spending a fraction of the money on your celebration, so you can save that money toward an incredible trip or a down payment on a new home.
Imagine having the flexibilty to plan your perfect day, whether that includes a morning hike, a dip in a hot spring, or the most incredible alpine lake backdrop. Your day is fully your own.
Imagine reliving the best day of your life every time you look through your photographs.
Sound incredible? Your wedding day can be anything you want.
Let’s plan your adventure.

As a full service wedding photographer in Grand Junction, I aim to provide the most memorable, simplified and fun experience, and give my couples tangible high-end artwork from these experiences to pass on to future generations of family.

Getting Started
How far in advance should I book you?
I typically book full weddings 8-12 months in advance, but most elopements or micro weddings book 2-8 months in advance!
Do you have a list of your favorite vendors?
Yes! When you book your elopement or micro wedding with me you’ll receive info on all my favorite vendors to work with, who I know provide a great service to couples. You’re not required to book them or anything, I just want to help make your planning journey as stress-free as possible!
Do you require a retainer fee?
I do require a retainer fee to save your date. The retainer is 50% of your collection at booking. I take credit card payments online and you’ll have your own client portal to review documents and make payments along the way if you want to!
Do you travel?
YES! I travel for over half of my weddings and elopements every year! I’ve captured weddings in Telluride, Crested Butte, Glenwood Springs, Ouray, and more! Please take me with you lol.
How do we book you?
If you’re in the area, I love to meet up in person to grab coffee or drinks so we can get to know each other! If you’re not in the area we’ll schedule a phone call or zoom meeting. From there, the booking process is all online. You can sign the agreement and make payments along the way from your client portal!
