Principal Photographer & Planner

I plan luxury destination elopements that are neither preceded nor replicated.  

Search these remarkable landscapes, and you won’t see a parade of identical wedding photos.

I believe the world is too extraordinary for a borrowed plan.

My passion for unique global travel, belief that anything is possible, and mantra that meaningful experiences can’t be rushed are the foundation of how I support you.

Share how you want your wedding to feel, and I’ll create options as original as your love story—capturing images of every unforgettable moment.
