I’ve been in the wedding world for 11+ years with over 300 weddings. I know when to step in to take charge, and when to quietly capture the magic unfolding.

I specialize in real moments—raw, emotional, candid stuff you can feel when you look back at it.

Lindsey & Skye | Eloping in Scotland

Scotland isn’t just a place you visit — it’s a feeling. Misty mornings, mossy stone cottages, hills that stretch into forever, and an energy that slows you down just enough to truly feel the moment.

Lindsey and Skye chose that kind of intentional magic for their wedding day. No crowds. No stress. Just the two of them (and me!) documenting the real, raw joy of it all.

If you're dreaming of ditching tradition and doing something that feels right for you — whether you're from Scotland or flying in for your dream elopement — I’m here to help make it seamless, exciting, and uniquely yours.

Here’s what I bring to your day:

✨ Location scouting (from ruins to rugged cliffs to hidden gems)
✨ Timeline planning that flows
✨ Calm energy + hype-girl energy — when you need both
✨ Storytelling images that feel like you, not just poses
✨ Years of experience capturing couples in wild, epic places

This isn’t just about pretty photos. It’s about documenting your connection in a place that feels alive with meaning.

If that sounds like what you're after — I’m your girl.

When you hire me, you’re not just getting someone to snap photos. You’re getting a hype human, timeline ninja, pet wrangler, and memory capturer rolled into one. I’m here for the big kisses, the belly laughs, the messy happy tears, and every in-between moment that makes your story unlike anyone else’s. 🌈📸

✨ LGBTQIA+ inclusive
✨ Dog-friendly (obviously)
✨ Nature-lovin’ elopement & wedding expert

Wedding Day Sneak Peeks!

The most unforgettable wedding captured on July 5th 2025. My couple Xandi and Katie are truly some of the best humans I know! The love they have for one another is truly infectious. The Energy and S***k made for an epic day and connected us on an amazing level. My kind of people!

Their wedding was at NorthStar Gatherings, one of my all time favorite venues to capture weddings at. Their family and friends made my job as flawless as it comes and I could have partied with everyone all night and wouldn't think I was as work.

Work like this makes me truly humbled to be apart of. Capturing couples once and a lifetime dream and being the one to hand everything over completes me.

Need a photographer? That's me! I will 1000% be present with you, listen to all your wants and needs along with your overall goals. Show up for you no matter what, help with planning, answer any questions and so much more.

Lets start talking! Booking 2025 and 2026 weddings!
