INTIMATE WEDDING + ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY
in Wisconsin & Colorado
I WORK WITH COUPLES CHOOSING SMALLER, OUTDOOR WEDDING DAYS IN WISCONSIN & COLORADO
those who care deeply about how their day feels — and trust that beautiful images will follow.
You want your wedding day to feel like you. Not a production. Whether you're eloping with just the two of you or celebrating with 30 of your favorite people, I'm here to capture the real moments alongside the intentional, beautiful shots you'll treasure.
I work with couples planning outdoor weddings and elopements across Wisconsin and Colorado. Days where the landscape matters as much as the celebration.
YOU’RE MY KIND OF COUPLE IF…
You feel most at home when you’re in the mountains
You're drawn to outdoor settings where natural landscapes take center stage
You'd rather skip the big, traditional venue and read your vows surrounded by nature
You want the day to unfold naturally, not feel like a production
You're planning a celebration that feels intentional, around 50 guests or less
STUNNING PHOTOS, ZERO STRESS.

A FUN, RELAXED EXPERIENCE
I make taking photos enjoyable, not awkward. My approach is friendly and positive, so you can actually have fun instead of feeling stiff
DOCUMENTARY WITH DIRECTION WHEN YOU NEED IT
I capture your day as it naturally unfolds, but I'll step in with gentle prompts and posing when helpful
TIMELINE EXPERTISE
I'll guide you on the best light for portraits and help you structure your day so nothing feels rushed

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
For us to be officially, official I simply need:
A set date
General location
Signed contract
$1,000 non-refundable retainer for weddings
$550 for couples sessions, non-refundable and paid in full at booking
The remaining balance is due one month before your wedding date. You're welcome to pay in full anytime, or we can set up a payment plan that works for your timeline.
-
Image count depends on coverage hours, guest count, and timeline flow. I guarantee a minimum of:
Half-Day: 200+ images (typically 350-400)
Full Day: 400+ images (typically 550-600)
Multi-Day: 600+ images (typically 800-900)
I focus on delivering every meaningful moment rather than hitting a specific number, so you'll often receive more than the minimum.
-
Your gallery will be delivered within 10 weeks. I'll send over a handful of sneak peeks within 1 week of your wedding so you can start reliving your day while you wait for the full gallery!
-
Yes! A $1,000 retainer is due at booking, and the remaining balance is due 1 month before your wedding. You can make payments at any time through your client portal, or we can set up a payment plan (2, 3, or 4 installments) that works for your timeline.
-
Yes! All travel within Wisconsin & Colorado is included in your package price. No extra fees, no matter where in these states your celebration is.
For weddings in other states, travel fees vary based on location. Let's chat about your plans!
-
About a week before your date, we'll touch base and discuss a backup plan if the forecast looks rough. This is something we can work together to figure out!
I believe in embracing light rain, wind, and cooler weather. However, if the weather is severe enough to damage gear or make your day unsafe and/or miserable, we can adjust your timeline, move to a different location, or reschedule based on my availability.
-
I do not have a guest limit. However, I work best with intimate celebrations of 50 guests or fewer. This size allows me to capture the kind of connection and storytelling that makes your gallery feel personal rather than just a documentation of a big event. If you're planning something larger, let's chat to make sure I'm the right fit!
-
I'm a photographer, not a wedding planner, and I think that's actually a good thing! I work with couples who want creative control of their day. What I do offer:
Photography planning guide with tips for maximizing your images
Timeline creation (or I'll collaborate with your planner if you have one)
Location scouting and ceremony spot recommendations
Honest feedback on logistics from a photographer's perspective
Trusted vendor contacts if you need hair/makeup, florists, etc.
You're in the driver's seat! I'm just here to make sure your vision translates beautifully into photos.
-
Your $1,000 retainer reserves your date and is non-refundable. If you need to reschedule for any reason, you'll need to pay a new $1,000 retainer to secure your new date.
I'm happy to work with you on rescheduling if circumstances are truly outside your control (severe weather, family emergencies, or other unforeseen situations).
-
If I'm unable to fulfill my obligations due to illness, emergency, or unforeseen circumstances, I'll immediately notify you and work to find a qualified replacement photographer for your approval.
If a replacement isn't available or you prefer not to work with them, I'll issue a refund based on the percentage of services already completed (for example, if we've already done your engagement session, that work would be deducted from the refund).
Your peace of mind matters! I take my commitment to you seriously and will do everything possible to ensure your day is covered.
-
I don't photoshop your bodies to appear different than they actually are, but I will remove temporary things like blemishes, bruises and scratches and small distractions in the background.
-
Absolutely!! I choose which images to convert based on emotion, lighting, and mood. Not every photo works well in black and white, but when it does, it really elevates the moment. You'll receive a thoughtful mix of color and black and white images that bring out the best in your story.
If you have a strong preference on receiving a lot or a little just let me know, I’ll take that into consideration when editing.
-
Nope. Editing is so much of the magic, and I'd never deliver an unfinished photo. You'll receive every great image from your day, fully edited, high-resolution, and ready to print, share, and cherish for years to come.
