What if your wedding felt less like a production and more like a wild, unforgettable experience?
Let’s be real—weddings have become a production. The endless guest list, the rigid timeline, the pressure to make everything Pinterest-perfect. But what if your wedding wasn’t about entertaining hundreds of people… and instead, it was about you two, fully immersed in the moment?
Just Imagine; You’re standing hand in hand, the wind gently weaving through your hair, the landscape stretching endlessly before you. No stress. No distractions. Just the sound of your vows echoing into the wild, in a place that sets your soul on fire.
That’s the magic of an elopement.
And that’s exactly what I’m here to help you create.
Rewrite the Wedding Rulebook
Not everyone dreams of a ballroom, a choreographed first dance, or a sea of people watching their every move. And that’s okay.
If a traditional wedding feels more like an obligation than a celebration, you’re in the right place. Your love is one of a kind, and your wedding should be too.
Maybe you’re dreaming of an intimate sunrise ceremony on a mountaintop, saying ‘I do’ barefoot along Lake Tahoe’s rugged shore, or trekking to an alpine peak where the only witnesses are the sky and the stars.
Whatever your vision, I’m here to help you bring it to life—without the stress, without the expectations, and without the pressure to fit into a mold.
This isn’t about following a script. This is about creating a wedding day that feels like you.
This Is More Than a Wedding—It’s an Experience
Wake up slow, wrapped in the quiet of the mountains, coffee in hand, ready for the best day of your life.
Hike to a secluded alpine lake, barefoot in the sand, vows tucked into your backpack, heart pounding with excitement.
Say ‘I do’ with the sun setting behind you, a breeze carrying your words into the wild, a moment so perfect it doesn’t feel real.
End the night under the stars, hands intertwined, whispering, ‘Can you believe we just did that?’
If that vision gives you chills, you’re in the right place.
INQUIRE NOW!
From the first "what if we eloped?" to the moment you say "I do" in a jaw-dropping location
I’m here to make it all happen—seamlessly, stress-free, and with a whole lot of excitement.
I find the places no one else will — No need to spend hours lost in Google searches—I’ll take you to the most stunning, off-the-beaten-path locations that actually mean something. Whether it’s a windswept ridgeline, a hidden alpine lake, or a rocky cliffside with waves crashing below, I’ll help you find the perfect backdrop for your vows.
I capture the moments you didn’t even realize were happening—The deep breath before you say I do. The way your partner looks at you like you’re the only person in the world. The quiet, in-between moments that make your story so undeniably yours.
I handle the details so you don’t have to —Permits, timelines, logistics—it’s all covered. I make sure the day flows effortlessly so you can stay present, soak it all in, and fully experience every second of your adventure.
I solve problems before they happen—Weather shifts? No problem. Timeline adjustments? Already handled. I come prepared with backup plans, extra layers, and whatever else we need to make sure your day is unforgettable for all the right reasons.
I’m your personal hype woman— Feeling nervous? I’ve got you. Need a trail snack? I’m already on it. From fixing windswept hair to cheering you on as you hike to your ceremony spot, I’ll be right there with you, making sure you feel nothing but excitement, joy, and pure, wild love.
Because this isn’t just about stunning photos—it’s about crafting a once-in-a-lifetime experience that speaks to your SOUL.
Let’s ditch the expectations, embrace the adventure, and create something unreal.
I'm Kendall!

And guess what? I’m not just your photographer—I’m your biggest hype person, your problem-solver, and your guide to making this epic day stress-free. Need someone to handle the timeline? Done.
