A Vancouver Island born and raised adventurist. I’m here to create the most magical, one-of-a-kind elopement experience for couples who are craving something bold, authentic, and uniquely theirs. I am a wild spirit rooted in the love frequency. I help free spirits, adventure seekers, and romantics challenge the normal and design an elopement that deeply resonates within. I’m all about providing a stress-free and deeply personal experience. Think of me not just as your photographer, but as a friend who’s here to make sure you feel calm, connected, and wildly excited about your elopement. I’m here to make this an experience you’ll never forget – one no one else will replicate , because I'm me and your you! It's what we make of it together. So, what is your vision so far? I'd love to hear all about it.
I am a diverse creature who loves a good adventure accompanied with good times & good vibes. I take it you do too! Id be the person getting spontaneous random tattoos... I thrive on excitement and make decisions from the heart. Although I’m intense and passionate about everything I do, positive vibes are my thing – I believe every experience should be filled with laughter, joy, and a sense of calm.
I believe elopements deserve to be just as unique and adventurous as the couples who choose them. I do SOO much more than just taking photos – I’m here to help you dream it up and plan it out from start to finish. I know you’re not looking for the typical, and I’m here to make sure your elopement is as meaningful and memorable as possible. You’ll get a true companion and guide who happens to also be a photographer ;)
