IN PRAISE OF TRUE LOVE

I get it - choosing a photographer can feel overwhelming. You probably have 457 tabs open right now, scrolling through Instagram, comparing galleries, and reading every review you can find. Here’s the thing: finding the right photographer isn’t about ticking boxes, it’s about finding someone you trust to tell your story in a way that feels true to you.

My goal? To make this process simple and stress-free - so you’ll know right away if we’re the perfect fit (or not).

WEDDINGS

Your wedding day deserves to be captured in a way that feels as unforgettable as the vows you exchange. As an Anchorage-based Alaska wedding photographer, I document weddings across Homer, Seward, Kenai, Palmer, and beyond. From coastal celebrations by the ocean to classic receptions filled with dancing and laughter, I’ll capture the big emotions, the quiet in-between moments, and every detail that makes your day yours.

LET's JUST GET AWAY

ELOPEMENTS

For couples who crave adventure, Alaska is the ultimate place to say “I do.” As an Alaska elopement photographer, I specialize in experiences that go beyond tradition — helicopter landings on glaciers, vows exchanged among wildflowers, seaside ceremonies, or intimate celebrations tucked away someplace special. My elopement packages are designed to keep things stress-free, flexible, and wildly you. With the option of a videography add-on, you can relive your vows and share the full experience with loved ones who couldn’t be there, bringing them into your adventure in the most meaningful way.

COUPLES, proposals, ENGAGEMENTS, & FAMILIES

LIFESTYLE

Your story is bigger than one day—it’s made up of all the little moments in between. Proposals, engagements, anniversaries, couples adventures, and family milestones deserve to be celebrated too. I love photographing lifestyle sessions in places like Hatcher Pass, Eklutna Lake, and Alaska’s wild coastlines. Whether you’re popping champagne on a mountain trail or snuggling up for cozy family photos, these sessions capture the heart of your everyday love.

A LOOK INSIDE 

THE PROCESS

Planning a wedding, elopement, or session in Alaska should feel exciting — not overwhelming. My process is designed to keep things simple, stress-free, and full of support from start to finish. As an Anchorage-based Alaska wedding and elopement photographer, I’ll guide you through each step, whether your celebration is across the bay from Homer, on a private beach in Seward, at a cabin in Cordova, or a venue in Palmer.

1. initial consult

We’ll start with a casual conversation so I can hear all about your story and vision. This is where we’ll talk about packages, coverage, and what matters most to you — whether it’s a wedding, elopement, or family session — and decide if we’d be a great fit.

I’ll send over a custom proposal with the package we've discussed. Once your contract is signed and retainer is paid, your date is officially reserved!

2. PROPOSAL & Booking

3. planning support

Think of me as more than just your photographer. I’ll help with location scouting, vendor recommendations, timelines, and tips — from helicopter logistics to the best beaches for family photos.

4. pre-wedding engagement session (optional)

Engagement sessions are a great way to celebrate this season and get comfortable in front of the camera. Some favorite spots include Eklutna Lake, Hatcher Pass, and Flattop Mountain

5. Pre-session or wedding prep

About a month before your wedding or elopement we’ll finalize the details and timeline so you feel confident and ready. This ensures we have space for all the big moments — and the little ones you don’t want to miss. And for sessions I'll check in week to a few days before to ensure we are all set for location and time. You are always welcome to reach out at any point.

6. Your day / session

This is where the magic happens! From the quiet anticipation of your elopement vows to the playful laughter of a family session, I’ll capture your story exactly as it unfolds. Whether you’re saying “I do” on a glacier, proposing by the ocean, or chasing your kids through the wildflowers, the heart of your day will shine through.

Within 72 hours of weddings & elopements, you’ll receive sneak peeks, and within 10 weeks, your full gallery will be ready (3 weeks for sessions) — filled with timeless images that bring you back to the emotions of your day. You’ll also have the option to create heirloom albums or wall art to preserve your story for generations.

Frequently asked questions

01. What’s your editing style?

True-to-life with a touch of magic. I keep skin tones natural, colors bold but not fake, and vibes timeless. Your gallery will look how it felt — full of joy, love, and adventure.

02. Will you help us plan our elopement?

Yes! Every package includes planning support—location scouting, vendor recommendations, and timeline assistance. I also offer a few custom elopement packages where you can hand off more of the logistics to me so your experience feels completely stress-free.

03. What if we’re super awkward in front of the camera?

SAME! And literally almost every couple tells me this! Don’t worry, I’ll guide you through everything so you can relax, have fun, and focus on each other. By the end, you’ll forget the camera is even there.

04. What if the weather is terrible?

Alaska’s weather is wild — and honestly, that’s part of the adventure. Rain, snow, fog, sunshine… it all photographs beautifully. I always come with backup plans (and umbrellas), and we’ll roll with whatever nature gives us. Some of my favorite photos ever were in “bad” weather.

05. How many photos will we receive?

It depends on the coverage, but for weddings and elopements usually 75+ photos per hour, while lifestyle sessions include 50–100. Every image is individually hand-edited and delivered in an online gallery.

06. When will we receive our images?

You’ll get a sneak peek within 72 hours, and your full gallery within 8–10 weeks (within 3 weeks for lifestyle sessions).

07. Can we bring our pet or other special props?

If your pup is part of your story, they’re 100% welcome! And if you’re dreaming of props — smoke bombs, champagne sprays, skis, kayaks, fly rods, camper van — I’m here for it all. The more “you” it feels, the better the photos will be.

08. Do you help with location ideas

Yes!! Whether you want mountain views, glacier landings, coastal cliffs, or cozy cabins, I’ll help you brainstorm the perfect spot. I’ve got a whole list of hidden gems across Alaska that photograph like a dream and I send you ideas in a Session Planning Guide upon booking.

09. Do you travel outside of Anchorage?

1000% yes. From Homer to Hatcher Pass, Seward to Denali, and even places off the road system like Juneau or out of state — I’ll happily pack my bags to follow you wherever your love story takes us. Some packages already include travel, and for others I’ll create a custom travel quote so there are no surprises.

Elopement Videography

Add an optional highlight film to relive your vows, laughter, and adventures in motion—perfect for sharing with loved ones who couldn’t be there.

10. How do we book you?!

Super easy! Reach out via my inquiry page and I'll get back to you within 2 business days letting you know if your date is available. I'll also send along a link so we can hop on a quick call. Once you’ve picked your package, I’ll send over a contract and invoice. A signed contract + retainer officially saves your date. Then we celebrate with happy dances (and maybe champagne 🥂).

let's make something

BEAUTIFUL
TOGETHER
