Destination Elopement & Intimate Wedding Photographer
Based in Colorado and always ready to travel, I photograph destination elopements and intimate weddings for couples who want their wedding day to feel like an experience, not just an event.
Whether you’re exchanging vows in the mountains, exploring historic cities, or celebrating somewhere completely new, my goal is to document your story in a way that feels natural and meaningful.
Destination photography collections typically range from $5,800 to $10,400, depending on coverage and travel.
If there’s a plane that can get us there, I’m ready for the adventure.
Why couples choose a destination wedding or elopement
A destination celebration is not just about traveling somewhere beautiful. It is about choosing a place that reflects who you are together.
For some couples that means exchanging vows on a quiet alpine ridge.
For others it might mean wandering through historic European streets, standing on a cliff above the ocean, or celebrating in a place that has always inspired them.
Destination weddings and elopements often feel different from traditional weddings because they focus on experience rather than expectations.
Couples choose destination celebrations because they want:
• Intimacy instead of a large production
• Meaningful locations that reflect their story
• Time to slow down and enjoy the moment together
• A wedding experience that feels adventurous and personal
When you choose the right location, the landscape becomes more than a backdrop. It becomes part of the memory.
Travel has always shaped my photography
Long before I began photographing destination weddings and elopements, travel shaped the way I see the world.
I have explored 19+ countries across Europe, Central America, Asia, and the United States. Walking through unfamiliar cities, hiking new landscapes, and experiencing different cultures has always influenced the way I approach photography.
Travel teaches you how to adapt quickly, notice light in new environments, and stay present in moments that cannot be recreated.
That perspective is something I bring to every wedding and elopement I photograph.
Whether we are exploring the mountains of Colorado or celebrating somewhere across the world, my goal is always the same: to document your experience honestly and beautifully in a place that matters to you.
Destinations that inspire me
While I am based in Colorado, I have always been drawn to places that feel rich with landscape, history, and culture. Many of the couples I work with share that same curiosity about exploring meaningful places together.
Some of the places that continue to inspire me include mountain regions, historic cities, dramatic coastlines, and culturally vibrant destinations around the world.
A few locations that would be incredible settings for a destination wedding or elopement include:
Mountain landscapes
The Swiss Alps
The Dolomites in Italy
Patagonia
The Canadian Rockies
Historic cities
Mexico City
Florence
Barcelona
Paris
Coastal and wild landscapes
Ireland
Iceland
Big Sur
Costa Rica
Culturally rich destinations
Antigua Guatemala
Lake Atitlán
Andalusia in southern Spain
Many of these places have already inspired travel photography and elopement guides on this site. As I continue exploring and photographing weddings in new places, I look forward to adding real wedding stories from many of these destinations in the years ahead.
What it is like working with a destination photographer
Planning a wedding in another location can feel overwhelming at first, but it does not have to be.
One of the biggest advantages of working with a photographer who regularly travels is the ability to adapt and guide the experience.
When couples invite me to photograph a destination celebration, I approach it the same way I approach every adventure.
I arrive early to explore the location and scout potential ceremony spots.
I research the area so we can find meaningful landscapes and beautiful light.
I help build flexible timelines that allow the day to unfold naturally.
My role is not just documenting the day. It is helping create an experience that feels relaxed, intentional, and unforgettable.
Destination elopement and wedding photography packages

Adventure is at the heart of everything I do
Outside of photography, I spend as much time as possible exploring the mountains and landscapes that make places feel alive.
One of my personal goals is to climb all of Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks, a journey that has taken me across some of the most breathtaking terrain in the state. From alpine ridges and quiet lakes to sunrise views above the clouds, these experiences constantly remind me why nature and adventure are such powerful parts of a wedding story.
Travel has played a huge role in shaping that perspective as well. I have explored more than 19 countries across Europe, Central America, Asia, and the United States, always drawn to landscapes, cultures, and places that feel inspiring and alive.
That same sense of curiosity and adventure is something I bring into every wedding and elopement I photograph.
Whether we are hiking to a quiet ceremony location, wandering through a historic city, or celebrating somewhere completely new, my goal is always to help couples feel present in the experience while I document the story naturally.
