Authentic elopements for authentic folks

your moments
Your photos should revolve around you and
As your wedding photographer I’m knee deep in the rivers, pulling paparazzi moves behind trees, and jumping on rocks like a mountain goat.
I call it the ‘Don’t mind me–stay where you are–I'll do the moving’ approach. (Other photogs call it ‘Journalistic’ or ‘Candid’ style.)
Every couple knows how to hug and kiss.
I don't need to teach you that.
You know how to fit into each other's arms so I'm not going to pose you in ways that don’t feel natural.
What I will do? I’ll observe the special, little ways you naturally interact as a couple and build on that. I’ll encourage you to go check out the view and give you space. My goal is to create an environment where you feel comfortable doing your thing—your real thing—in front of the camera.
Looking at the view and one another you’ll forget all about posing or not posing. (Or what log I’m balancing on to capture you being all cute.)
AND that's exactly what I'm going to give you
Whether we’ll be spending a half day together or two days backpacking through the mountains, you can count on loads of thoughtful and informative planning assistance.

Custom Timeline
Let’s maximize your time together and minimize … well … anything other than that! Your timeline will prioritize what you value most and give you freedom to explore every location and moment without a care in the world.
After walking up and down trails of Blue Ridge Mountains and the streets of Asheville, I know exactly what direction to point you. I’ll provide you with a curated location list that checks all the boxes for your elopement.
As buds, I want to make sure you’re in the best hands when it comes to every aspect of your elopement. I’ll give you my list of local, talented LGBTQIA+ and inclusive folks in the industry.

Hypotheticals not hitting the spot?
We had an intimate ceremony with just 10 guests at an Airbnb in the mountains, followed by a hike in our full wedding attire. Laura did the planning of picking the hiking spot, building the timeline, and of course taking the most ridiculously incredible pictures I've ever seen. The photos are beyond what we were even dreaming of, but more importantly, Laura made the whole experience so much fun!”
Living a day like this is hard for me to put into words…Good thing I have killer couples who can!
“It felt like we were on a hike with one of our close friends & yet when we got to the top of the mountain she somehow managed to make us feel like it was just my spouse & I soaking in the most special moments of our wedding day by ourselves.
