I help couples plan, officiate, and photograph their elopement in the Hocking Hills so they can be fully present, deeply connected, and confident every step of the way.

Your All-Inclusive Hocking Hills Elopement Experience
Eloping should feel intentional, calm, and deeply personal — not overwhelming or uncertain.
When you work with me, you’re not just booking photography. You’re gaining a trusted guide who understands Hocking Hills, knows how to navigate the logistics, and is fully invested in creating a wedding day that feels authentic to you.
From the first planning conversation to the moment you receive your finished gallery, I handle the details so you can focus on what matters most: being present with each other.
As an ordained minister, experienced Hocking Hills photographer, and lifelong planner at heart, I offer a seamless, supportive experience designed for couples who value meaning, beauty, and ease.
