Forget the seating chart and the elaborate catering plan. Let’s chase waterfalls instead.
It’s time for photos that capture the “holy wow, we’re married” feeling.
If you’re anything like me, you want the perfect trail—the one that’s not overcrowded, has the best views, and somehow feels like it was made just for you.
That's exactly what I’ll find for your elopement day, except instead of just stumbling upon it, I've already scouted the exact location three times, I know the light hits perfectly at 4:23 PM, and figured out the path that gets you there without breaking—too much of—a sweat.
You'll go from frantically googling "best elopement spots in New England" to having a curated day planned around hidden gems
The ones that most people never find—complete with backup locations for weather, permit intel I've learned the over the years, and timeline magic that ensures you're getting that golden hour shot without having to sprint up a mountain… in heels or a tux.
Your photographer comes with built-in trail knowledge
I'm not a casual explorer—the White Mountains are my backyard, and I grew up exploring trails near Acadia before spending my whole life wandering New England. I know which trails are actually accessible in wedding attire, and won't gatekeep the secret spots that will make your photos (and your day) downright magical. In fact, I'll tell you about every last one of 'em so you can make the best choice for your day.

Oh, just a few things...
You may be wondering….
Can we have guests at our elopement?
Absolutely! Bring your mom, or your weird aunt who tells the craziest stories—whoever makes your heart happy. Up to 20 people is the sweet spot for elopements. More than that and we're getting into "intimate wedding" territory.
Can we bring our dog?
YES x a million. Dogs aren’t just welcome, they’re actively invited. I've got treats in my camera bag and can recommend pet-friendly trails that won't have your pup panting like he just ran a marathon.
Can we talk through full-day vs shorter coverage?
Of course! Some couples want me there from "holy crap we're getting married today" morning coffee to "we're actually married now" celebratory drinks. Others just want the ceremony and some gorgeous couples portraits. Let's figure out what feels right for YOUR day. Book your call and we’ll chat more.
How does it work if you're photographing and officiating?
Yes, I can officially marry you AND take your photos. I keep it simple and sweet—I'll say "you may now kiss" but that's about the extent of my officiating skills. You say your vows to each other, I capture the magic, everyone cries happy tears. If you want something more elaborate, I know some fantastic officiants who love hiking as much as we do.
Do you travel?
Within New England? Pack my bags! Beyond that, if you're planning something epic (like really epic), let's talk. Adventure calls, and I have a hard time saying no to good stories.
