They asked if I could photograph their skydiving elopement…

I said “see you at 13,000 feet” ✈️😮‍💨🤍

Tori and Joe’s wedding at the Ventura Botanical Gardens was one of those days that leaves an imprint on your heart. They chose the gardens to honor Joe’s grandmother, with a beautiful tribute that filled the day with so much meaning and love. Surrounded by intimate family and friends, flowers, and the soft ocean breeze, they ended their vows with the words, ‘May love grow flowers in the darkest part of each other.’

It’s moments like this that remind me why I do what I do, to capture the kind of love that never stops growing.

They got ready together using the mirrors of the Bronco, laughing and adjusting details with no rush. Later, they stood among the red rocks, champagne in hand, the desert sun sinking around them. No audience, no pressure — just the two of them, fully present, choosing love on their own terms. 🥹🌵

The dreamiest details & why you should include them in your wedding day 💍✨🤍

Why do I love to incorporate detail shots? The detail shots go beyond the big moments to focus on the intimate, personal touches that make the day truly special.

I want to capture it all — every moment & detail that holds significance in your heart 🫶

Are you struggling to pick the perfect spot to say “I do”…

This is a KEY piece of the planning process that I guide my elopement clients through to help them choose a spot that feels like home for their vows.

I often ask my clients the following:

1. What kind of scenery do you imagine when you think of your meaningful day?

2. Are there any places that hold a special place in your heart?

3. How private do you want your elopment to be — secluded or in a more public scenic spot?

4. Are you drawn to a specific season?

Your perfect spot to say “I do” is within reach 🫶🌲🌊

When you aren’t feeling the traditional wedding and the idea of an adventure speaks to your heart instead 🌲 🤍

You book the Airbnb cabin where you can watch the sun rise from your porch as you wake up on your wedding day.

The background of your wedding dress photos consist of ocean waves and pine trees.

The entire day is built around YOU and the love you have for each other.
