Let's create an unforgettable elopement story that feels just as amazing as it sounds

HI, I'm Heather!
Your Yosemite Elopement Photographer

I’ve spent 5+ years capturing adventure elopements in Yosemite, the Redwoods, and beyond, helping couples craft meaningful, stress-free wedding experiences.

Yosemite National Park is the ultimate elopement destination, and I’m here to help you create an unforgettable experience.

I am based in Northern California which 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! 

Why not elope in Yosemite instead??

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 around Yosemite, 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...

Heather is amazing!! She is an incredible photographer and made our vision come together so quickly and effortlessly! She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and we couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Why elope in Yosemite?

Eloping isn’t just about skipping the big wedding—it's about choosing a day that truly reflects your love story. Whether you’re an adventurous couple who wants to hike, explore, and soak in epic views, or you prefer a laid-back day filled with intimate moments, your elopement should be as unique as you are.

Top Reasons to Elope in Yosemite:

• Unmatched Scenery – Say "I do" against dramatic cliffs, giant sequoias, or cascading waterfalls.

• Adventure Without the Stress – Forget rigid timelines—your elopement is about being present and creating lifelong memories.

• Endless Possibilities – From Glacier Point to Taft Point, I’ll help you find the perfect ceremony spot that fits your vision.

Your wedding day is about you, your love, and your adventure. 

If you're dreaming of an intimate, outdoor elopement where you can truly be yourselves, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

Together, we'll create a day that feels as natural and beautiful as your love story.
