When the Details Tell Your Story ⬇️

Booking a full day elopement with me does not just mean taking photos of just the two of you in poses all day.

It means allowing room to let me tell your story.

The way we found a pinecone to display the rings because we pulled off to the side of the road and found a perfect spot unplanned.

The way they love w**e together, so they got custom w**e glasses with their date.

The way they tucked their feet into hiking boots under their wedding attire.

The way they signed the guest register at the trailhead they got married at.

The way she ditched the heels for hiking boots.

The way we saw the sign marking the spot where they were going to commit their lives to one another at a place with meaning.

The place they got huckleberry shakes at because it’s one of their go-to places.

The way they hand painted their own “just married signs” for their hiking backpacks.

The way she found a heart shaped log in a random wood pile to display by their dessert.

The details that make up your story also matter. When you combine this with photos of everything else as well, you get photos that let you relive your experience from beginning to end - again and again.

Sunrise engagements with Brittany and Simon on Redfish Lake!

We were originally supposed to take them the previous evening, but there was a delay and a road closure on their way up to Stanley, and I was heading home the next day, so I proposed sunrise the next day and these two were down!

We still got such beautiful pictures capturing the fall colors, the mountains, and of course these two with their sweet doggies.

Absolutely can’t wait for their elopement next June here in Stanley!!!

The most scenic surprise Idaho proposal 🏔️💍

Absolutely blown away that the lake showed off for Jaret and Echo’s lakeside proposal in Stanley!

Also, did anyone else see that the ring box was a duck?! It was these two’s 6 year dating anniversary, and what better way to celebrate than by getting to say yes to spending together forever!

There’s so many incredible things I get to witness on wedding days: jaw dropping scenery, thoughtful details, gorgeous wedding attire…but the one that always stands out the most is the love between my couple that is so radiant, people notice as they walk by.

Agnes the bride was originally from France, and the groom Miguel is originally from Uruguay, so to think they ended up saying I do in Idaho is pretty cool!!

These guys incorporated so many meaningful details and activities into their day, like:

* Staying in a cabin on the Salmon River, where they got ready and had their first look 🏡
* Renting a Jeep for exploring, Miguel was SO excited to take the roof off the Jeep after ceremony to pop some ch*****ne 🍾
* Bringing along a sentimental pocket watch ⏱️
* Playing a giant game of chess in the town square ♟️
* Doing a sand pouring ceremony and using a two person hand saw to saw a log during ceremony to represent teamwork 🪚🪵
* Having a French dessert called a croquembouche - which is basically a caramel covered cream puff tower 🇫🇷
* Horseback riding at sunset 🌅 🐴
* Stargazing with headlamps and lanterns 🌌

What an incredible finish to my 2026 elopement season!

October 1st means it’s these two’s 1 year anniversary! 🏔️🥾🍂💍

My last elopement of 2025 last year started with a 3am wake up call to drive up a mountain road in the dark, followed by arriving at an absolutely breathtaking alpine lake at sunrise 🌅

The fall colors at this location were absolutely unreal, and the mountaintops were covered with fog and mist as J and Z had their first look and then a sunrise ceremony on the lakeshore.

They brought their fur babies along for the adventure, and they even got to “sign” their marriage license with paw prints 🐾

Next up was some hiking amongst burgundy red leaves and the most insane colors and scenery. My couple came up to this location earlier in the year and scouted out some spots, and they picked the best spot for their private vows, overlooking unending forest that goes on for miles.

The day got even better when we drove back to their Airbnb and had a home cooked spaghetti dinner 🍝 and we kept singing SpongeBob songs together in the kitchen! There was no better way to end my last elopement of 2025 🥹

Can’t believe it’s been a year since we celebrated these two - happy 1 year anniversary!!!

One of the most fun things you can do for your elopement is to explore a place you’ve never been together, and that’s exactly what Lexie and Travis did for their Grand Teton National Park elopement!

They traveled all the way here from North Carolina to become one under the majestic rocky mountain tops the Tetons offer. They had their ceremony at the wedding tree which was just insanely gorgeous!

Before the ceremony though, they got ready at two different Airbnbs so they could share a first look and say their vows privately by a creek. Travis joked that if he saw a moose the morning of his wedding that they would move there, and low and behold he saw a moose at the property he was staying 🫎

After the ceremony we went on up to Colter Bay for a picnic overlooking Jackson Lake, and then since Lexie and Travis have never been to the park, they wanted to take the scenic road, and I was able to show them some of my favorite spots there!

After a delicious dinner in Jackson, the day wasn’t over yet. We went out after dark and took some star photos after the sun went down. If you’re wondering what a full sunrise to sunset elopement experience in the park can look like, this was it - and it was just perfection!

A new technique I recently learned:

Compression panoramas!

I typically love taking panoramas for my clients with my 35 mm lens, giving them a very far away look (tiny couples big landscape vibes).

For this photo, I instead used my 85 mm to create a panorama, which helped include some of the foreground as well, adding much more depth to the image.

Comment your guess on how many stitched images you think make up this image! Hint: it’s the biggest image I’ve ever stitched together so far!
