California elopement photographer

Crafting a laid-back, meaningful day that celebrates your unique connection

HI, I'm Heather!
Your California Elopement Photographer

I am an elopement photographer who has been capturing unique love stories for over 5 years.

California is the ultimate place to get married, and I can't wait to share the adventure with you! There are so many incredible locations -the views are unbeatable.

I was born and raised in Northern California which makes me your local expert and gives me access to some of the countries best National Parks. From the redwoods to Yosemite to Mount Shasta - the opportunities for adventure and amazing landscapes are endless.

your wedding day should be as unique as you

I have photographed so many big weddings, and one of the biggest takeaways from my experience is seeing each couple lose themselves in the day of their wedding. The day quickly becomes about your guests and their expectations, rather than focusing on the two of you and your love story.

Elopements are the perfect solution to this problem. You can create memories in a way that fits your unique story and do whatever you want to celebrate!

wedding memories you will cherish forever...

Are the two of you the adventurous type? You can create a wedding day that is as action-packed as you desire! Hiking, backpacking, mountain-biking, kayaking, 4x4, you name it and it can probably be done!

OR your day can be as low-key and chill as you desire. You can have a picnic, take in some incredible views, eat amazing food, and just enjoy each others company!

The best part about eloping is that you can do whatever you want!

your wedding can be as adventurous or as chill as you want...
