Adventure elopement at devil's punch bowl in Oregon

Haley and Matt’s adventure elopement on the Oregon Coast was the wedding day of their dreams. Starting in Portland, we journeyed to Corvallis, then to Devil’s Punch Bowl in Otter Rock. Capturing their first look and portraits during golden hour, surrounded by lush greenery, set the perfect scene for their non-traditional wedding in a natural setting. The day concluded with moody sunset photos on the beach and a cozy dinner in Newport. This destination elopement showcased the unique and romantic elopement photography styles I love. If you’re considering an adventure elopement, this is the way to go.

The women’s creative photoshoot meetup is a space where women can embrace their authentic selves. This initiative was born from the realization that photography is not just about aesthetics, but also a powerful emotional experience. Seeing oneself through the lens can be transformative, fostering self-love and empowerment. The core value of these meetups is to make women feel beautiful and powerful simply by being themselves. This recent fall-themed shoot felt like an intimate coffee social in the woods, filled with chai, pie, tarot cards, and heartfelt connections. The energy and joy from these gatherings are truly unparalleled.

On 11.07.21, I met Jacob & Cailey on a magical New Hope, PA evening, marking the beginning of our friendship. Fast forward to October 13th, 2022, I had the honor of capturing their intimate backyard wedding. Jacob & Cailey’s devotion to each other is evident in every detail of their special day, from their storybook home to the book of poems Jacob wrote for Cailey. Their small, non-traditional wedding was a beautiful testament to their love. Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Wilder.

My twin brother and I take trips to Colorado every year. This year was EPIC because we just so happened to see Great Sand Dunes National Park at the perfect time: sunset. When I say, this was the MOST beautiful view I have ever seen in my life, I mean it to my core. It was an experience like no other.
