wedding & elopement photography in the Willamette Valley
intimate weddings, elopements, and small celebrations
I’m a lifestyle photographer based in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, now documenting weddings and elopements with the same grounded approach my clients already know me for. Most of my work happens around Salem and Silverton, though I’m always excited to travel for celebrations that make a good fit.
My pricing is shaped around the pace of your day and what matters most to you and your partner. My goal is simple: photographs that reflect your people, your love, and how your wedding day will be remembered for decades.
what working together feels like
Present, attentive, and steady
I show up grounded, observant, and adaptable. My background in family and motherhood photography shaped how I move through emotional, fast-moving environments without losing sight of the details that matter.
Most couples say they’ve never really been in front of a camera, or that it feels awkward. By the end, the photos look like them-laughing, tangled together, comfortable, excited. More often than not, I hear that I caught their chemistry perfectly.
My focus is:
- Real reactions and connection
- Paying attention to the atmosphere of the day
- Following the rhythm of what’s unfolding
- Photographs that reflect your celebration
My goal is to document the day honestly, keeping the memory of your wedding close for decades.

how weddings fit into my work
a note on experience and availability
I’ve photographed weddings in a range of formats and settings, from full traditional days to smaller elopements. Each one moves differently in scale, pace, and atmosphere. While weddings are still a growing part of my work, I approach them with the same professionalism, preparation, and attention I bring to the families and couples who have trusted me for years.
I photograph weddings and elopements because these days are emotional, unpredictable, and deeply human. I work with couples of all identities, orientations, and expressions of love. If you’re planning a day that reflects who you are and who you love boldly, you can trust me to photograph it with care and reverence.
