The kind that feels like art, adventure, and soul all rolled into one. Maybe you don’t have every detail figured out yet—just that you want something intimate, intentional, and unlike anything you’ve seen before. That’s where I come in.
I work with outdoorsy, artsy, fun-as-hell couples who care deeply about doing this their way. Whether that means eloping under red rock cliffs, hosting a dinner party in the desert, or hiking to say your vows at sunrise—I’m here to help you bring it to life.
From location ideas and timeline flow to documentary-style photos (and film, if you’re feelin’ it), I help craft a day that feels honest, emotional, and totally you. Not cookie-cutter. Not performative. Just real moments, gorgeous light, and all the good stuff in between.
If you’re craving something meaningful, a little offbeat, and full of feeling—let’s make it real.
I’m here for couples who want a wedding that feels like them—laid-back, full of heart, and grounded in wild, beautiful places.
This isn’t just what I do—it’s how I see the world. I live in the desert, shoot on both film and digital, and tell honest, artful stories that feel as real as they are beautiful.
You’re not just getting photos. You’re getting someone who knows the land, gets your vision, and helps you slow down enough to actually feel it all.
35mm, 120 medium format, Polaroids, and dreamy double exposures—film brings that tactile, nostalgic magic that digital can’t quite replicate. You’ll get a mix of both, blended into one cohesive, artful story.
From location scouting and timeline planning to vendor recs, permit help, and unique micro-wedding ideas—I’m your photographer and your boots-on-the-ground guide. Think of me as your go-to for all things desert and dreamy.
No stiff poses or forced smiles here. I’ll guide you with movement and connection, focusing on candids, tiny gestures, and all those “you had to be there” moments. It’s more like hanging out, less like a photoshoot.
My style leans warm, moody, and cinematic—like your favorite desert light bottled up into a feeling. I chase emotion over perfection and love the in-between frames that tell the real story.
Raised in the desert, I know this land like a local and love it like a lifelong explorer. I hike it, I camp it, I photograph it with reverence—and I’ll lead you to places that make your love feel wild and rooted all at once.
