Photography that Blends High-End Style with AUthentic Moments

wedding and Elopement photographer based out of Boring, Oregon


I am your luxury wedding and elopement photographer based right between the breathtaking Mount Hood and the iconic Columbia River Gorge. I specialize in capturing elegant, nature-infused weddings and intimate elopements all across Oregon and Washington though my main service areas are the Portland Metro area, Hood River, Bend, Sandy, Damascus, Boring and anywhere from the Columbia River to Timberline.

Whether you’re planning a high-end wedding at one of Oregon’s top venues or a private elopement in the forest, by a waterfall, or on a mountaintop, I’m here to make the entire experience stress-free, intentional, and deeply personal.

I work closely with local vendors and communicate regularly with them to ensure every part of your day flows effortlessly—from first look to last dance—so you can stay fully present and soak in every moment.

Whether you’re a couple local to this area or planning a destination wedding or elopement in the Pacific Northwest, I’m here to make your wedding day extraordinary.

Bonus fact: I LOVE to travel—so if your love story takes us beyond Oregon, I’m always ready for the next adventure.

the bucket list

I typically deliver your final edited photos within 4-6 weeks after your wedding, as I take the time to carefully curate and edit each image to reflect the beauty and emotions of your day. However, I know you're eager to relive the moments, so I also provide a 72-hour sneak peek with a few highlights from your wedding to tide you over while you wait for the full gallery. Once everything is ready, you'll receive an online gallery where you can view, download, and share your images.

how long will it take to get our photos delivered?

While I completely understand that not every couple wants to do a "first look" before the ceremony, and that's totally okay, I do recommend this as an option to my clients. Many couples love it because it helps calm nerves, gives you a moment to connect, and allows for more relaxed portraits afterward.
Plus, having a first look gives us more flexibility with the timeline, so we can take some beautiful photos of the two of you together before the ceremony and still leave plenty of time for your other wedding day moments.
Either way, I’m here to support whichever choice feels right for you.

Do you recommend a "first look" on the wedding day?

The exact timing depends on your specific schedule and preferences, and I’ll work with you to create a timeline that flows smoothly, ensuring you get the most beautiful and relaxed photos possible!
This typically includes time for getting ready shots, the first look (if you’re doing one), portraits of the couple and bridal party, family photos, and key moments during the ceremony and reception.

how many hours should we set aside for wedding photos?

While my main focus is on weddings and elopements, I do photograph corporate events on a case-by-case basis. If you're looking for someone to capture your event, whether it's a conference, team building, or any other corporate gathering, feel free to reach out! I’d be happy to discuss your specific needs and see how I can help.

Do you photograph corporate events?

My home base is in beautiful Oregon, where I’m lucky to be surrounded by stunning landscapes, from the coast to the mountains. While I do love to travel for weddings and elopements, Oregon will always be my home and my favorite place to document love stories!

I know you travel, but where is your home base?

No. I carefully select and edit the best photos that tell the most beautiful and authentic story of your day. This means you'll receive a curated collection of images that reflect the emotions, details, and moments that matter most, all professionally edited to ensure they look their absolute best. You can expect a mix of wide shots, close-ups, candid moments, and carefully composed portraits, all with the highest quality in mind.

Do you deliver every image from our shoot?
