I'm ready to inquire!

LET GO & FOCUS ON THE ADVENTURE

You two deserve to ditch all the stress and honor who you are with an intimate and epic experience that speaks to you—I’ll handle the rest

“Sierra was an amazing guide and brought so much positive energy the whole day. She went above and beyond with every aspect...We were in shock (in the best way) by how incredible the sneak peeks were and completely blown away once again when we received our full album."

Savannah and Josh
“Sierra is one of the most amazing people either of us have worked with. My wife and I were flying across the country to elope in Oregon, and Sierra helped make not only our day but also our trip as painless and magical as possible. "

Tristan and Hayle
“The amount of care she puts forth to ensure that we had a good time and enjoyed ourselves really meant a lot. It wasn't just the photos but the overall experience of our adventure, elopement, travel, and newness of it all. It showed that her top priority was us.””

Van and Charlie
“Sierra was incredible. She is not only a skilled, creative photographer; she is kind, thoughtful, and someone that lives their values. By the end of our elopement, we weren’t just with our photographer, we were with someone we can call “friend.”"

Emily and Victoria
“While we had talked to Sierra on the phone, we met her and her wonderful husband Garrett in person for the first time on our wedding day and immediately felt like we were with friends we've known for years. Sierra and Garrett did such an amazing job capturing not just the big moments, but also the small and beautiful moments that the day brought."

Skyla and Jake
“We had the most amazing experience with Sierra!!! We have absolutely no doubt about our decision to do an adventure elopement, and Sierra was definitely a big part of the reason for that...Every person that I show our photos to is in awe, following with something along the lines of “wow your photographer was amazing!!”. I couldn’t agree more!””

Amanda and Cameron
“Sierra is such a talented photographer. She goes above and beyond what is expected. I’m truly grateful for her insight, talent, intuition and dedication. There were some weather challenges, but Sierra made everything perfect."

Hannah and Corey
“The world should know how truly wonderful Sierra and Garret are! When it felt like our plans were falling apart and the universe was just telling us to let plans go and postpone, Sierra and Garret were game for anything and remained kind and patient as we figured things out."

Rosemary and Tyler
“Sierra was delightful to work with! She was so thoughtful and thorough and guided us through the entire experience providing suggestions and ideas we hadn’t considered or initially had brushed off...She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, something we’re not the most comfortable with and made our day truly memorable and special! "

Yukari and John

EVERY PACKAGE INCLUDES:

(a whole lot more than just epic photos)

Are you unsure of where to have your ceremony? Worried about physical limitations holding you back from breathtaking views? Trying to find a trail that will be illuminated at sunrise? I’m here to help find your dream location and will be lacing up my boots to check out areas before you arrive so there are no surprises!
Once we discuss your vision I’ll start pulling from my vendor network and do additional research to find comfortable accommodations during your trip, hair/makeup artists that’ll meet us at sunrise, florists who create bouquets that can withstand the elements, and designers that fit within your aesthetic!
Nearly 100 pages of elopement planning tips and inspiration from yours truly! Everything from how to make your elopement unique and special to what to pack/wear. And how to include family or friends in your day. This guide is everything you need to help you get started in planning your elopement!
Leave it to me to craft a custom timeline based off of where we’re headed and what we’re getting into for your elopement. This will ensure the day goes smoothly and you have adequate time allotted for each part of your day so you can focus on having a blast getting married!
Many lands, like National Parks, require special use permits to get married or be photographed. There are also different processes for getting married depending on the state. I’ll help you navigate through this process so your elopement is official and legal (and easy).
We’re capturing some of the most important moments of your life and you should be able to relive and share them as soon as possible! Within 48hrs you’ll receive a sneak peek gallery of at least 10-15 photos.
Your final gallery will be delivered within 6 weeks of saying “I do.” Throughout the planning process we try to find ways in which we can plan a day you're truly excited about and one that I can capture candidly, so it's not just a full day photoshoot. Your final gallery will be mix of candid shots, classic poses, details of the environment and you, as well as epic shots showcasing your love in the landscape you chose.

5 Things to know going into your adventure elopement:

Planning a day you’re truly excited about will mean your elopement isn’t just a photoshoot, but truly a special and fun experience you’ll remember forever.
It never hurts to be prepared with a plan B…and C…and D, E, F, G.
We can’t control the weather, but we can make the most of it.
No two moments or photos are the same, your gallery will tell that story.
Vulnerability or bust! Shed happy tears, surrender to the moment, and hold each other.

Got it—I’m so ready!

Your elopement gallery will be a mix of epic portraits, subtle moments, shared smiles & laughs, a few traditional shots, details creating a sense of place, your loved ones present, and of course some far away shots of you looking tiny in the landscape you love.

Frequently Asked Questions

The average couple books within 3-8 months. But we’ve booked as far out as a year and as last minute as two weeks! The biggest timing factor is if you want to elope somewhere that needs a permit and allotting time to secure one.
We can absolutely work together to create a custom package unique to your needs! Packages start at 6 hours and can be increased from there.
In most cases, no. We’ll make sure to create backup options and timelines during the planning process. A part of eloping is embracing the day as it comes and making the most of it! In the rare event that the weather is unsafe or there is a complete rainstorm all day, we will definitely work with our couples to reschedule.
Not at all! The word “Adventure” is definitely relative and custom to what you find to be fun! You can kayak, walk along an ADA accessible trail, ride horses, have a picnic, play a board game, roast marshmallows, whatever sounds adventurous to you! I’m here as a resource to help you find the perfect location(s) for you and your partner.
Nope, not at all! I’d love nothing more than to help you find a location that not only inspires you, but that also works for your logistical needs.
I specialize in outdoor elopements in mostly public lands and there aren’t many locations that can responsibly support more than 10-15 guests. I’ve limited the number of guests in order to protect the beautiful places we have the privilege to visit.
I typically deliver 50-100 images/hour, that being said it really depends on the activities you do throughout the day!
Timeless, earthy, and warm. Your photos will be true to color and true to your day, so that when you look at the photos years from now you’re taken right back into the moments as you experienced them.
It is incredibly important to me that your photos are safe and stored in multiple locations in case of an accident or disaster. I shoot with two cameras at the same time and each camera also records to two SD cards. As soon as we part ways I back up your photos to two different hard drives and cloud storage.
