I am a couples & wedding photographer based in New York City, and happy to travel to wherever your day is at! I believe your day can feel casual, yet so special – mirroring how so many memories are made. So if dream-like, raw documentation is your jam, I might be your gal.
I photograph weddings and elopements in Colorado and Norway for couples who value the moments and memories even more than the photos—whether your wedding day is spent adventuring alone in the mountains or celebrating with all your favorite people at a venue. As long as you’re excited about how you’re getting married, I’m stoked to capture it!

The government fee is $40, plus the registry agent’s service fee. Alberta also offers a temporary marriage commissioner option, so ask the province if you’d like someone you know to officiate.
Think a mountaintop elopement in the Rockies, three days of lakeside vows in Banff and a sunset elopement in Drumheller.
