I couldn’t help but share more of this delightful afternoon outing from this past fall with J + J. There’s nothing like a stroll through the woods when the air is crisp, and the leaves are falling all around you. This time of year has a way of comforting you like no other.

While I adore the fall, my relationship with winter needs some work. She can be hard to love. Warmer days are on the horizon. They may not be close enough to feel just yet, but they’re close enough to see. And I must say, that sits well with me.

There is so much to love about what this single frame symbolizes for this enchanting bride - the connectedness she feels when she walks the land with bare feet, her creative disposition that lead her to tattoo much of the beautiful work on her body, and the free spirit she carries that invites her to live spontaneously and love wholesomely.

One frame out of a gallery of hundreds holds so much sentiment, imagine the power of the entire collection? My goal for every wedding or elopement is to find creative and inspiring ways of documenting the essence of not only the day, but the people living it. That’s what matters most.

Consider this collage of 35mm film scans as an appreciation post for the friends and family who make the journey to far-flung destinations to watch you marry the love of your life.

The after-party is always unforgettable when you have this kind of community and support. Cheers to the ones that make sure your first steps into marriage are taken with passion and excitement for what’s to come 🥂🍾

One of my absolute favorite details from this waterfront wedding was the raw oyster bar, complete with all of the fixings, that sat right on the shore of the beach. This detail elevated the dining and celebratory experience for everyone there, making it such a perfectly fitting piece of this couple’s vision.

Framed by the artistry of a beautifully landscaped path, this California bride strolls into her ceremony, arm in arm with her father. The layers of the land, both natural and designed, accentuate the quiet anticipation A felt as she walked towards the sea. It’s almost as if the world paused for a moment to honor the significance of the commitment that lies ahead.

Embracing the elements is often something I encourage to every eloping couple. It’s a choice that can transform your elopement into something far more meaningful than you ever imagined possible.

This couple, undeterred by the rain, found themselves immersed in a moment of solitude as they sat closely in a hidden meadow along the trail we spent the day hiking. The rain softened the landscapes around them, lending a cinematic quality that a sunny day could never replicate.

My advice to you is to approach the weather as an integral part of your story. Prepare adequately, but allow space for the unexpected to shape your experience into something you may have never imagined it could be.

Starting the new year off with refined and playful visions of these two lovers on one of the happiest days of their lives.

2024 gifted me the opportunity to work with incredible couples from coast to coast, in places near and far, and helped me to begin shaping the future for Wild Elements. You all set the bar high for 2025, and for that, I’m exceedingly grateful and excited for the challenges, adventures, and new stories that lie ahead.

Love to you all, I can’t wait to see what we create!

Engagement photos that are steeped in equal parts adrenaline and intimacy.

When couples opt to step outside the traditional box that often comes with an engagement photoshoot, it invites singularity to be apart of the experience. This only adds to the incredibly personal and authentic nature of how two people can be documented.

The delightful aftermath of a candlelight table setting that became a product of indulgence, a whole lot of love, and a mighty celebration of two people in a tropical paradise.

It’s the honest details such as the ones above that contribute to the composition of the wedding day’s emotional toll.

When it comes to wedding and elopement photography, light is more than a technical element - it’s the thread that weaves emotion, atmosphere, and storytelling together in an intricate fashion. The way you interact with the light, and the way the light interacts with your surroundings, will be an influencing factor over the mood of your final images.

Just like many other wedding creatives, I too value the distinct artistic expression and authenticity in every celebration. I approach each wedding or elopement with a perceptual understanding of how light can shape or influence the narrative. Every shift in light offers a new creative dynamic to trademark different parts of your wedding experience, only making it more memorable.

The manner in which the sun casted its light through the trees in these specific frames added an undeniable sense of whimsy to the scenes that were unfolding between A + A. The greenery that surrounded these two newlyweds absorbed the light in such an ethereal way, and really set the tone for this part of their wedding day. Even in the black and white images, the presence of the sun is made obvious through its highlights.

Lighting is a powerful tool, and is something to be heavily considered when exploring the design of your wedding experience.

Golden hour in the New Hampshire mountains with these two lovers - every trip to New England is a memorable one, but particularly a trip that’s full of scenes like these. 🌞

This single image will always qualify as one of my favorite frames in my wedding and elopement archives. It’s one I revisit often, and I don’t think that will ever change. Anyone who knows L + J can recognize the emotional depth that’s laced within these pixels, and how this image alone is a delightful representation of their relationship.

This Costa Rica elopement was full of all of the experiences two travel-obsessed, adventure-oriented, and wildly in-love people could ever imagine for their wedding day. It was, in fact, a culmination of their shared passions and values displayed in a most epic and romantic fashion.

An 8km hike full of cascading waterfalls, questionable hanging bridges, and beds of lush vegetation left over from the rainy season were staples of this day for us all. These things cemented the seclusion and wanderlust that made this experience whole.

From this celebratory excursion to a quiet evening in their Airbnb that sat remotely in the mountain side, D + C had it all. They created an elopement experience that balanced adrenaline with relaxation perfectly. I couldn’t imagine a better way to close out my 2024 weddings, than with these two in a place as captivating as this Central America gem.

The patient hands and feet of a loving grandfather eager to watch his granddaughter marry the love of her life.

A moment as simple as this emotionally transcends, and I think that is one of the most inspiring parts of a wedding day.

Somewhere on a quiet flower farm, amidst the soft rustle of dried petals and the shimmer of embroidered butterflies, one of the most meaningful and delicate moments that two people can have came to life.

A bride, elegantly poised on a swing that has invoked memories of childhood wonder and freedom to many, looks back at the love of her life. Her veil falls, effortlessly cascading behind her. Her lover stands close. He shares a quiet smile in his admiration for his wife, glancing at her with eyes full of promise for their days ahead.

It’s really the moments like this - where textures, glances, and subtle gestures converge - that stories come alive. They way her veil moves with the breeze, the power of his presence, and the interplay of light and shadow cement these fleeting seconds into something unforgettable.

Sometimes it’s not the grandeur of the setting, but the intimacy of connection that turns a photograph into something more than just a memory.

What are the unexpected moments you remember most from your wedding day that had the biggest impact on you? What are the moments like this you’d love to see documented on your own day?

Boat rides from the ceremony into the reception, a raw oyster bar with all of the fixings, waterfront views steeped in the Earth’s many shades of green, an open bar, and loud music on the beach. What more could you ask for in a wedding experience along the Severn?

A + A’s family, friends, and surrounding community pulled together to give them a stand-alone day that was both far from ordinary, and full of so much love. Their wedding day was an elaborate display of all of the things they love about each other, and what they believe in.

A + A radiate kindness, compassion, and creativity - all of which were evidently demonstrated in the design of their day. The amount of joy and celebration in the air from their guests was truly palpable. There’s little that compares.

(Also - shoutout to Sam from for being the most supportive colleague, and doing such a phenomenal job as a second shooter. You’re amazing!)

If there’s one thing late Autumn promises, it’s that the golden hue that casts itself across the horizon and between the trees will be the highlight of every day the sun descends early.

As if the way the light is captured here isn’t enough for this series to be engrained in my mind forever, it features two really important people in my life - my cousin Jordan, and his partner Jess.

They were kind enough to meet me in a place we grew up exploring, knowing, and loving. It’s a place that holds so much significance to us, which made it the perfect place to document Jordan and Jess in this way.

As we walked the trails, we reminisced on our adventures across the land here. We shared bouts of laughter and cracked jokes only we understand. This experience was entirely new, yet full of nostalgia - which is just the way we like it.

The sentimental impact of places that connect the different parts of our lives together is truly astounding in most delightful sense. I’m looking forward to sharing more of this experience with you all in the future, thanks for being here.
