Welcome to the

Intimate Elopement Wedding | Kate & Will

While they met the modern way, online, and she came to find out he had a giant beard, and “she did not have the giant beard,” it wasn’t long before they both realized they wanted to spend all their time together! Convenient when the world was shutting down and everything narrowed down to time with just a select few! From the first date in February 2020 to a surprise proposal in February of last year, then their intimate elopement style wedding with just family in 2025, much “proost” and many more Februarys together!!

Based in northern California, in the little town of Grass Valley, and available for travel. Locally from Nevada County, Tahoe, Roseville, Sacramento, Napa, San Francisco, Bay Area, Chico, and Redding and down to Los Angeles, Newport Beach, Malibu, and San Diego are some of the places California has to offer. But I’m not only a northern California wedding photographer, I’ve had the joy to travel to amazing places like Vancouver BC, San Antonio, Philadelphia, New York, Cape Cod, Washington DC, Boston, and Charleston. And now that I’ve traveled to Albania, Rome, Florence, Venice, and the shores of Italy and over to Provence and Paris, France, I can’t wait to go back and capture more memories on film! Passport in one hand and a camera in the other!
