Local Tips & Tricks
You might think I’m just here to take photos—but my role goes way beyond that. I’m your teammate through this whole experience, offering ideas, guidance, and honest support to help you create a day that feels like you—fun, meaningful, and rooted in what matters most.
I’ve spent years exploring the mountains and deserts of Mammoth Lakes, Yosemite, Zion, and Kanab. That deep, local knowledge means I can help you find the perfect ceremony spot—whether it’s a quiet overlook with no one around, a hidden alpine lake, or an easy-access location that still feels wild. I know how the light moves, what the weather’s like, when the trails are quiet, and how to adapt when plans change.
At the end of the day, my goal is to help you feel grounded, supported, and inspired—so you can be fully present with each other. If you’re dreaming of an intentional elopement in the mountains or the desert, I’d love to help bring it to life. Reach out and let’s start planning something unforgettable.
