Elopement VS Destination Wedding
To Elope doesn't necessarily mean running away and getting married in secret, but if you do,
take me with you!!
Modern Day Eloping is an intentionally small, intimate Wedding all about you. Surrounded by nature and your closest mates!!
Destination Wedding
Maybe a hometown Wedding isn't for you?
How about your favorite location instead?
What does your dream Wedding look like?
Still want a Big Day with all your loved ones?
You can have it all with a Destination Wedding!!!
Imagine walking down the aisle, hearing the Ocean's Waves, feeling the White Sand between your toes on a Tropical Beach.
Smelling the fresh, clean air while saying your personal vows to each other on the Snow Capped Mountains. Breathe it in!!
Let's heat things up a bit!
Tasting the Authentic Cuisine at your Reception and gazing up at the stars while you're dancing in the Desert.
Minnesota our HOME-BASE
Don't get me wrong, I still love my Minnesota Weddings in the great outdoors, let's utilize those 10,000 Lakes!!!!
My everyday stomping grounds for photo shoots would include waterfalls, tall pine forests, birch trees, anywhere along the North Shore and my Home Studio in North Central Minnesota.
Not a regular photographer
I'm your Travel Pal, Biggest Cheerleader, Adventure Guide,
"Cool Photographer"
And by cool I mean total goof ball, fun seeker, laugh so hard you pee your pants. I consider my style visual art!
Romantic, personal and fun.
I've always been a tree hugging, elder emo, hippie, wanderlust kind of gal, who's obsessed with taking pictures. I have captured nearly 300 Weddings & countless other portrait sessions. My hobbies include homesteading, loud car singing, snorkeling, spirituality and learning about natural remedies & wellness.
If you know my story you know I have been through more last year than anyone should in a life time. And because of that I believe in living life to the fullest and capturing your moments along the way more now than ever. Small or Large

Meet my Husband Zack
Yup, my Husband and adventure buddy
is also my handy dandy second shooter/ videographer.
Our love of nature and passion for traveling was the seed of our relationship planted over 11 years go. Those roots started forming our foundation early on living in Florida. Our tree of life is standing strong, we're growing new branches everyday. Our latest and greatest adventure has been becoming parents in June of 2023
We started capturing Weddings together as a team in 2020 and it all "clicked"
