"Ginger was amazing! I had some pretty ambitious plans for a proposal at crater lake in the middle of a backpacking trip, and she absolutely nailed it. I even had a very last minute change of plans and she was incredibly understanding and helped to come up with a solution. She went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect location picked, and even visited the spot in advance to send videos and make sure I knew where to be. If not for her, there is no way it would have been as special as it was.

Additionally, the photos she took were incredible. Masterfully and tastefully edited, they really do look just amazing. You cannot go wrong with Ginger!"

Connection

This concept is EVERYTHING. It is what your day is all about. First, your connection to each other. We are celebrating your love and your commitment. Second, your connection to nature. That’s why you’ve chosen an adventure elopement. I believe ALL connections deepen with time spent in nature. And lastly, your photos are going to keep you connected to all the wonderful feelings and memories from your wedding day.

Then we might be a good fit.

Diversity & Inclusion

We’re all humans. We all love. No matter the color, size, shape, gender, race, quirks, interests, what-have-you. Whatever form love takes is welcome and celebrated at Tule Walks.

Then we might be a good fit.

Environmental Responsibility

Environmental Responsibility Leave no trace principles are observed and practiced at every Tule Walks event. Knowing and understanding the 7 principles is step one. But step two in knowing the environment. This both deepens your connection to the land, and increases your ability to care for it. That’s why I’m passionate about learning the natural history of all the places I travel. If you’d like to geek out about this with me, check out some of my blog posts with “Natural History” in the title.
