If stuffy, uptight weddings were your thing, you probably would have booked a traditional wedding package already.

But you’ve been putting off the wedding planning process because, frankly, organizing a big fancy party is waaay out of your wheelhouse. And the thought of a photographer who won’t be able to match your laid-back energy feels…painful.

You need someone who can capture your unscripted love story.  

& I’ve got just the thing…

Around here, we do..

Small-wedding and elopement photos that make your special day feel as carefree as a weekend in Jasper.

(but with a *little* less dirt and a lot more raw, unfiltered emotion)

Translation: candid, emotional storytelling-focused photos that capture the magic of your intimate day.

P.S. I’m not scared to get soaked and muddy to capture something meaningful (I’ve walked into a river fully clothed for a shot!).

Frequently Asked Questions!

  • Once you book your project, I’ll hook you up with a list of vetted vendor recommendations, help you scout killer locations, build a timeline that feels good, and make sure you know exactly what to wear with my style guide. All this is possible thanks to my in-depth questionnaires, which help me understand what really matters to you. Plus, if needed, I’m always a text away for those random “Is this crazy?” questions (Spolier: it’s usually not).

  • Weather in Alberta and BC can be wild, and I'm totally ready for it! I always have backup locations on the ready and a flexible approach to timelines. Rain? We dance in it. Snow? We make it work. Complete whiteout? I'll have alternative spots already scouted. This is why our pre-wedding calls are so important—we build in wiggle room for the unexpected.

  • HELL. YES. Bring whatever you need to make your shoot feel 100% you. I’ve shot couples on a motorcycle, with their pets, and camped out overnight, ripping my jeans for the perfect shot. The more personal and non-traditional, the more genuine the memories. So please, bring on the weird and wonderful!

  • Most couples go with 6-8 hours for elopements and intimate weddings, which gives us plenty of time to capture everything without feeling rushed. That said, it totally depends on your plans! If you're doing a sunrise ceremony followed by a sunset picnic, we might need more time. If you're keeping it super simple with just vows and portraits, we could rock it in 4-5 hours. 

    During our connection call, we'll chat about what you're envisioning, and I'll help you figure out the perfect timeline. The goal is to have enough breathing room to actually enjoy the experience instead of checking your watch every five minutes.

  • I've photographed all over Alberta and BC—from the obvious hotspots like Banff, Jasper, and Canmore to hidden gems in Kananaskis, Golden, Revelstoke, and beyond. Even if I haven't shot at your exact location before, I guarantee I've captured something similar or will scout it ahead of time. 

    I’m obsessed with finding secret little spots that aren't on everyone's Instagram feed. If your spot is new to me, even better! I'll arrive early, explore the area, and get all excited about fresh angles and light. Exploring new locations is part of why I love what I do!

So, what do you say we take this off-road adventure together?
