Thoughtfully crafted for couples over 40 who want an elopement that’s stress-free, meaningful, and as adventurous as they are.

Eloping today isn’t about running off in secret—it’s about choosing a wedding experience that’s intentional, personal, and free from expectations. For couples over 40, that means celebrating love on your terms—without the pressure of tradition or the need for a big production, or a quick visit to the courthouse.
eloping isn't about running off in secret, It's about celebrating your new adventure.
Did you feel the stress melt away
when you decided to elope?
Choosing to elope means saying goodbye to the stress of planning a big wedding and opening up a world of endless possibilities for your day. You're probably thinking, "This sounds amazing, but how does it all come together?"
That’s where I come in! I'm here to help you dream, plan, and bring your vision to life—right down to the smallest details. I'm also here to help with the big details, whether it’s a picnic on the lake, kayaking, a float plane tour, a helicopter ride to an ice field in Alaska, or saying your vows on a cliff in Yosemite, we can make it happen.
So take a deep breath, relax, and celebrate your choice to embrace a different kind of adventure—one that’s all about what YOU want, not what’s expected.
Freedom to be you
By the time you reach this point in life, you know what matters — love that’s real, connection that lasts, and experiences that feel true to who you are.
I photograph elopements for couples over 40 because I’ve lived through new beginnings, too. I know how special it is to find love again — and how freeing it feels to celebrate it in a way that fits your life now: slower, more meaningful, and full of intention (and maybe a little laughter along the way).
With me, there’s no pressure to perform or fit into someone else’s idea of what a wedding should be. Just the two of you, in a beautiful place, doing what feels right — whether that’s exchanging vows on the shore of Priest Lake, sharing a quiet toast in the forest, or dancing in your hiking boots at sunset.
I’m there to bring a steady, grounded presence — the kind that helps you feel at ease so you can fully enjoy every moment. I’ll gently guide when needed, step back when it’s right, and make sure the photos reflect your day exactly as it felt: real, relaxed, and full of meaning.

When you choose to elope, you’re choosing a day filled with meaning — quiet moments, real emotion, and the kind of beauty that doesn’t need an audience. As your photographer, I want you to have more than just a gallery of images. I want you to have something to hold onto.
That’s why I include something special for every couple I work with.
The Aspenglow Keepsake Box.
This handcrafted wooden box holds:
10 fine art prints of your favorite moments from the day
A pressed flower from your bouquet (when possible), gently saved and preserved
Wrapped with care, just for you — something personal and lasting.
Cherished Memories
Here is something special I give every couple I work with..
An Aspenglow Keepsake Box
It’s a thank you from me — and a way to give back something that reflects the heart of your day.
Eloping isn’t about following a script—it’s about creating a day that feels right for you. Whether you’re dreaming of a sunrise ceremony on a mountaintop, a quiet lakeside moment, or an all-day adventure from forest trails to starlit skies, I’m here to bring your vision to life.
I offer several pricing options, each designed to capture your story in a way that fits your day. But every elopement is unique, and I can tailor any package to match what truly matters to you. Maybe you want a laid-back morning together before saying your vows, an intimate first look, or time to soak in the moment without feeling rushed. Or maybe you’re looking to avoid stress, crowds, or anything that feels staged or forced. I get it.
By this stage in life, you know what matters most. This isn’t about following trends—it’s about celebrating your love in a way that feels effortless, meaningful, and completely yours. I take the time to understand your vision, priorities, and concerns—what excites you and what you’d rather skip—so your experience is seamless, deeply personal, and full of moments that feel so you.

What is the difference between an elopement and intimate wedding?
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide other photography services such as seniors or maternity sessions?
Elopements can just be the couple or shared with a few close friends and family, consisting of 5-10 guests depending on the restrictions of the planned location. Elopements take place somewhere in nature, including national parks that will usually require permits and making arrangements well in advance.
Intimate weddings can range from 10-25 guests depending on the restrictions of the location. Couples may choose to capture their ceremony more like an elopement with a celebration of more guests later in the day. Intimate weddings may take place somewhere out in nature or at a small wedding venue.

Frequently Asked Questions
DO YOU TRAVEL?
It all depends on what your vision of your day looks like. If you are having a quick ceremony and only want a few images of sharing your vows and portraits, a four hour session is plenty.
However, if you want to have a relaxed day and a bit of adventure including getting ready, first look, family portraits, and dancing under the stars as you end your day, you will want to look for a 8-12 hour timeline to ensure you get photos of your entire day.
Do you have an example Timeline?
Yes! I travel all over the country to capture love stories. Let me know what location you're looking at, or if you're still unsure, I can help you decide!
