Why Me?
1. I chase natural light and tromp in the woods whenever possible. Outdoor adventure is me in my natural habitat where I will blend in and assist.
2. I've always photographed people in a documentary, photojournalism sense. The captures will be letting the process unfold, and capturing the true beauty.
3. I've done all kinds of weddings and elopements for photography.
4. I'm around incredible examples of soul connected partnerships and am lucky to have my own. I understand the true unexplainable magic.
5. I grew up in these mountains with a native plant teacher as a mom. I can be a great nature guide when needed.
6. I can make a great cocktail if you need one on top of the mountain. I'm also a bartender.
7. I'm cat like where I am more of an observer than someone who will command a room. I'm able to go with the flow without getting in the way.
8. If you have any questions on the process, or need recommendations, I am happy to help.
As we shift into new ways that we come together in partnership, Hiking Elopements allow for a peaceful ceremony without all the planning, stressing, decisions, and appeasing every family member and friend. It's truly a time for the couple to embrace their journey. No one said there can't be a dance party to celebrate sometime, but this also offers a great alternative for budget and planning.
