I offer adventurous wedding photography and elopments. What exactly do I mean by adventurous? If you were to look on my website there is talk of climbing to the top of mountains and getting your wedding dress muddy.

That is a big part of what I do. I want to work with couples who work hard and play hard, who travel the world and aren't afraid to sweat to make their wedding day memorable. But that isn't everything.
