Christmas Minis are open for booking. This year I’m opening Christmas sessions WAYYYYYY early. We’re changing things up and heading indoors this year at STUDIO RENTALS IN AMERICAN FORK in Utah County.

Mini Sessions are $200 and (another change) include ALL USABLE IMAGES. This means you aren’t getting cut off at 10 images like last year! Each session is 20 minutes and can accommodate groups up to 6. Turnaround time is 2 days!!

If you’ve made it this far, the first 3 bookings will get their session for $150 and get same-day polaroids for free!

This Tunnels Beach elopement taught me something I keep coming back to:
the best photos aren't created by following the rules, they're created by breaking them.

This couple said no to everything they were 'supposed' to do, and in that freedom, something shifted. No venue checklist. No timeline. No poses. No audience. Just them, barefoot on sand, living instead of performing. And that's when the real moments showed up. That's when the camera caught what actually matters.

If you're feeling the pressure to do your wedding 'right,' I want you to know: right looks like you. Not the rules. You. Let me help you break them

Here's the thing nobody tells you: the moment you stop worrying about how you look is the exact moment I capture how you actually feel.

That's when the magic happens. Your elopement doesn't need to look like a production, it needs to feel like you. And when you're present with each other instead of performing for the camera, that's what shows

Altitude isn't just scenery.

It's a creative constraint that rewires how you move, breathe, and show up.

I've learned that the thinness of air at 11,000 ft does something traditional poses never will: it slows you down enough to be real. Your nervous system syncs with the landscape. Your body becomes deliberate. The vulnerability that emerges? That's what makes the photos feel timeless years later-not because of the mountain, but because of what the mountain does to you. Let's find the altitude that makes your story unforgettable

Your connection doesn't need to look like anyone else's-and honestly, that's the whole point.

I've photographed couples who find their intimacy in complete solitude, others who light up surrounded by their people, and some who feel most alive in motion. Same photographer. Same intention. Completely different creative approach for each.

That's not a signature style-that's expertise. It's reading what connection actually means to you and shifting everything I do to capture it authentically. No templates. No forcing your story into my vision.

If you're ready for an elopement that feels unmistakably you, let's talk about what connection means to your love story
