I believe elopements aren’t about doing things “right.” They’re about creating space to feel present, connected, and fully yourselves, whether that looks quiet, adventurous, emotional, or wildly expressive.
Eloping gives you the freedom to let go of the rules and say "I DO" in a way that sets your soul on fire.
Where love meets the wild
This day is yours to live.
You’re here because you want a wedding day that feels alive! One that reflects your love, your choices, and how you actually move through life… not what’s expected of you.
I was born and raised on Vancouver Island, am an experienced backpacker and know the depths of this place really well. That’s why I love working with adventurous couples who want an elopement experience rooted in nature and presence.
I’m also a deeply intuitive and empathetic person, which means I naturally meet people where they’re at. You could be quiet, expressive, grounded, playful, or anything authentic, i'm here for it.
Vancouver Island elopements are my specialty, with local expertise in planning, location scouting, and navigating the coast’s unique landscapes, weather, and tides.
I’m based here, with easy access to places like Bamfield, Tofino, and Ucluelet, creating elopement experiences that feel natural, grounded, and adventurous.
While I specialize in Vancouver Island elopements, I also work with couples across British Columbia, from the mountains of Whistler and Squamish to the coastline of Vancouver and into the interior, and I’m available for international elopements when it’s the right fit.
