Oregon Coast Elopement Photographer
Hi y’all. I’m an Oregon transplant, currently based in Bend, who has spent my entire career leading folks through nature. From teaching 5th graders on the redwood coast of the bay area, to leading scuba trips in Belize– my greatest joy comes from helping people connect with nature, and now I get to help with people’s most meaningful days!
I make it my business (literally), to journey and explore through the landscapes of the PNW to find unique and picturesque landscapes that can serve two main purposes:
- Being an excellent backdrop for a ceremony and photos.
- Being an interesting place to explore, connect, and be present with for your elopement day.
Planning an elopement can be overwhelming– perhaps not AS overwhelming as a traditional wedding, but still. When it comes time to embark upon that journey, I’d be honored to be your guide. Likewise, I’d be happy to just answer any questions you have about eloping in Oregon.
