Adventure Wedding & Elopement Photographer
co-crafting & documenting amazing experiences in the wild
Hey You Two!
Imagine This
You and your love, standing in a place that feels like heaven. Your eyes meet, and it’s like the whole world stops to watch. Around you, nature in all its glory – big mountains, the soothing crash of ocean waves, and a calm, serene forest.
It’s not some big, fancy production, but just you two, totally chill, taking all the time you need to say your vows. No pressure, no rush, just your hearts doing the talking. And if you’d like, a few of your closest peeps can be there too, soaking in the love-filled moment.
Then, you’re off to do all the things you both adore, in places so incredible they’ll make your jaws drop. From soaring mountaintops to cozy valleys, you’re starting this fresh chapter with a blast of laughter, shared adventure, and that amazing feeling of being side by side.
It’s all about you two taking on life’s adventure together, with all the epic excitement and sweet moments. And when the day winds down, you’ll know your love story is one for the books!
So What exactly is an Adventure Elopement?
It’s like a wedding stripped down to its core – just you two, an officiant, and maybe a handful of witnesses if you’re feeling it. There are even places where you can make it official without a single witness in sight.
This kind of small-scale wedding lets you focus on what truly matters – you and your partner, making that everlasting commitment. Say goodbye to the stress and wild hullabaloo of a big, traditional wedding. Instead, it’s all about you, your love, and the magic that unfolds in the simplicity of the moment.
And…You’re not just exchanging vows; you’re embarking on an adventure together. Think about all the amazing activities you can toss into the mix to make your day unforgettable.
It’s your love story, but with an extra dose of adventure and a lot less hassle. It’s you, your partner, and a world of possibilities waiting to be explored – all on the most epic day ever!
Authentic Storytelling
NO ONE CAN TELL YOUR STORY QUITE LIKE YOU…
My focus is on getting to know you inside out. Your passions, your roots – the real nitty-gritty stuff. Why? ‘Cause that’s what makes your heart tick. I’m all ears, ready to soak in every detail that’s important to you.
But it’s a two-way street, my friends. I want you to know me too, to see the person behind the lens. Why? So when the big day comes, you feel as cozy as a pair of well-worn slippers. You can trust me enough to drop any guard and let your true selves shine. After all, this is your moment, your story, and I’m here to capture it in all its raw, unfiltered glory.

Kind Words
From Past Clients
“If I could keep Hillary in my pocket forever, I would. She made this whole elopement process a breeze from beginning to end!”
“She answered every question I had, when I had them. Hillary made sure to stay in touch sending us reminders with important details of our elopement every few weeks leading up to the day. When we finally got to meet her she exceeded our expectations there too. It truly felt like we were just hanging out with a friend who happened to be taking our photos. She made us feel so comfortable and really let us all just be who we were.. and the photos…… TO DIE FOR. I cannot stop raving about Hillary & her work and should we ever cross paths again in needing a photographer in her area – she is absolutely it.”
Alysha & Adam
“I don’t know where to begin because Hillary is beyond amazing!!!”
“Being from out of state for our elopement Hillary did everything to help us coordinate it all from location, rentals, vendor suggestions, timeline, you name it! She was on top of everything, made sure the day ran smoothly, and had the best suggestions. Hillary is such a sweet and calming presence which is exactly what I needed on my special day. I was so excited to see our sneak speaks only a day after but when I got the full gallery I was blown away by the quality, detail, and the wonderful candid moments that were captured. If you are considering Hillary she will not disappoint!!!!!”
Kwynn & Nick
“Hillary was so amazing, in person and even before meeting her she was so professional.”
“She followed up with me often in the months leading up to our elopement. We booked with her in February and we’re getting married in June. She got a good history of my husband and I and curated a timeline for our day for us. Which saved me so much time because all I had to do was coordinate the few guests we included into when to be there for our vows. She was so easy going it made our day absolutely stress free. On the day of our elopement Hillary came to our location exactly when she said she’d be there and spent the day taking the most amazing photos that we will cherish forever and she even came prepared with bug spray and bobby pins. Which was a life saver for us as in the moment I forgot both. She is so talented at what she does and I will recommend her 1000x whenever I am asked about our elopement!”
