in all seriousness, I LOVE helping couples create the elopement experience of their dreams. Because I know what it's like when people use scare tactics to keep you from doing something different: "are you sure...?", "but what if...?", "what will so-and-so think?"
And let me tell you - that BS has no place in your wedding day. So if you're looking for someone who encourages you to dream big, who helps make that dream come true, and who cheers you on every stop of the way - you found her (me - it's me)
OKAY, THAT MIGHT BE A TOUCH DRAMATIC, BUT HEAR ME OUT...
What if I told you I was put on earth to help you elope?
Backpacking around Europe for 5 weeks
favorite trip so far:
Zion or Grand Teton (it's so hard to choose just one!)
favorite national park:
England, where I studied abroad for 4 months
First foreign country:
I've traveled to 21 states + 19 countries (so far)
Travel count:
I was 20 when I left the US for the first time. I packed my huge ass suitcase full of things I didn't need and boarded my flight to England, where I lived for 4 months.
Nowadays, my passport is filled with stamps, my heart is filled with gratitude and my mind is filled with memories from all of the places I've been. I'm constantly re-living my past adventures and yearning for the next ones.
And these are the things I want to share with you. As a fellow travel-holic, you know there is something undeniable about traveling to new places, or returning to places you love. Since exploring new places is such a big part of you, it only makes sense to include it in your big day. And I'll be there to make it happen.

Camping is one of my favorite things ever and I do it as much as I can.
One of my favorite things about travel is trying new food - which is why I love Thailand + Italy so much!

I married my high school sweetheart, Jon. We've been together for 12 years (!!) and married for 3. We have a pup, Axel, who is 5 but has the energy of a 5-month-old. He keeps us on our toes!

"She acted as photographer, officiant, ring bearer, wedding sherpa, gear carrier, wildlife scout and so much more. She put so much thought and attention into the small details to make our day special."
- Becki + Windsor
"From the moment we connected, Erin wanted to make sure our wedding photography was exactly what we were looking for."
-Aleks + Joe
"She went above and beyond to create a meaningful, highly personalized elopement experience for my now-husband and I. She took the time to listen to our visions for the day"
- Alison + Kurt
"She was able to capture all of the great moments from our big day while fading into the background."
-Jen + joe
"she made it the least awkward you can imagine. We actually never felt weird or posed, she just let us do our thing and captured our moments in our natural habitat."
-ALicia + Anthony
"After the ceremony, my husband even said to me, "that was perfect. That's how all weddings should be."
- becki + windsor
