If only the windows and the trees could talk, and recount all of the stories that have unfolded amongst them.

All of the laughter that had echoed across every room year after year.

The tears of happiness shed in quiet exchanges and subtle glances.

The way the skies have poured without ever dimming the spirit of the celebrations that have filled every hallway.

The wild escapades two lovers have shared across the grounds, through the courtyards and to the pond.

Passion-filled first dances and the roaring toasts from friends, family, and strangers.

How the bright the world remained even in the darkest hours of the night because of an atmosphere full of new beginnings, unpredictable adventures, and unconditional support.

If only the windows and trees could talk, they’d tell us that every wedding celebration is a one of a kind, that the way you celebrate matters, and that your fondest memories will live on through them in one way or another.

The way I smile at such a thought, how delightful it would be.

I’d be remiss to not share my yearly recollection of this beautiful bride since early spring is finally here, as this day will go down as one of my favorites for as long I’m living.

Earlier today, I shared a few updates on my stories, as I’ve been somewhat absent from the social media realm. Over the past few months, my business has experienced the kind of growth I once only dreamed of, which has resulted in an unprecedented level of hard work and dedication.

In case you missed it, here’s a glimpse at what’s in store for this refined era of Wild Elements Photography:

- A new website that’s been built on an all new platform to provide you the highest quality user experience possible. It’s live now, though I’m still fine-tuning a few details - (so thank you for your patience in advance!)

- I’ve updated and expanded my exclusive guides for all of my 2025 and 2026 clients, designed to offer even more value and insight.

- A comprehensive rebranding of Wild Elements, including a refreshed logo, aesthetic, and a suite of new brand resources that I’m thrilled to unveil.

- -A selection of flexible new pricing plans for all wedding and elopement couples, alongside enhanced, customizable digital and film packages for weddings, elopements, and couple portraits.

While these updates are just a handful of the work I’ve been doing what I’ve been doing to create an exceptional and elevated photography and elopement planning experience for you all, there’s so much more to come - which will all be revealed in due time.

Thank you for sticking around, even during my hiatus, it means the world to know that this community remains strong! I’m looking forward to the adventures this new season brings, and the incredible people I’ll have the privilege of connecting with. My 2025 and 2026 bookings are still open with availability - reach out, and let’s see how we can turn your wedding day dreams into a reality!

A trip down memory lane, this frame is a small feature from last summer on the farm with some of my dearest friends.

The way everything melts together - the land, the textures, the sentiment, and the richness of summertime tones - it’s blissful.

These are the kinds of moments I look forward to experiencing with my couples as we emerge from the dormancy of winter, and into the liveliness of the warmer months ahead.

What a wonderful thing to look forward to.

Spring is right around the corner, which means this is the time of year I’m reminded of this incredibly sweet, deeply emotional, and pastel-saturated vision of love.

M + D’s micro wedding showcases the enormous amount of beauty and meaning woven into small weddings, and how they are powerful expressions of celebration and authenticity too.

This is the kind of wedding experience that was perfect for M + D, and their families. They found a way to include the people and the things important to them that supported their values, without compromising the intimacy they wanted to structure into their day.

Nothing makes me happier than watching couples find the wedding path that aligns with who they are, what they want, and emphasizes the things that matter most to them.

I was revisiting past adventures when I stumbled upon this shot, which has become a new favorite of mine.

A loving father holds his young son with a strong arm, and an even stronger appreciation that both of his children got to be apart of this special day - the day that he got to renew his vows with the love of his life, the mother of his children.

What a beautiful, full-circle moment to be apart of.

The place you get married isn’t just the place you get married. It becomes an integral part of your entire wedding experience, acting as the setting that supports one of the most important plots in all of the chapters of your story.

Whether you get married on a mountain side, the venue of your dreams, or somewhere that combines the best of both worlds, (like featured here) - many of your fondest memories will become intertwined with the elements that surround you.

That’s why you should choose to get married somewhere you absolutely love. And I don’t mean a place that can love because you settled for it, but a place that you *actually* love so much you couldn’t imagine entering this next season of life anywhere else.

For some, these are the backyards of their childhood homes. For others, it’s a long trek in the backcountry with no one else in sight. Then there are those who crave the romance that lives within the Italian country side, or those who seek comfort in the tropics isolated by the ocean.

It doesn’t matter where you get married, or how you get married, just as long as it’s in a place you love. Where’s that special place for you?

Imagine ending your celebration with a late night rendezvous to this charming chapel hidden in the trees, a staple of the secluded neighborhood where you grew up.

When we suggested a quick, inconspicuous getaway from the party as the night was fading, A + A couldn’t have been more excited at the thought of adding one final piece to their visual story.

This was the perfect way to send these two off, as this quaint building trademarks two-decade’s worth of memories, stories, and experiences for this beautiful bride. Being here just felt right.

When you allow room for spontaneity to exist during your wedding day, you allow room for some of your best, (and most unexpected), memories to transform how you will remember the beginning of this new season of life.

There are just some details that have a way of becoming a staple of the room, or the surrounding environment. This gold-tinted, bird lamp in the groom’s getting ready suite was one of them.

When I think about this wedding in the tropics, this piece always comes to mind. It was something we all commented on as we entered the room. This lamp had its own unique way of connecting the dots, you know, pulling the vision and the atmosphere together.

A frame from a wedding I still think about often - one of the most beautiful celebrations I was invited to be apart of, just mere weeks before. Sometimes, spontaneity pays off in the wedding world - and when it does, it’s glorious.

I present to you a cinematic representation of a cold winter’s day spent exploring the lonely countryside.

Rolling views of the valley, the soft and muted tones of the earth in its darker months, and the passion of two people who love each other more than an anything - what more could any of us have asked for?

Despite the nature of the season, there is an abundance of warmth and liveliness that resides within this collection. K+ D’s session encompassed so many strategically layered details to elevate the shared vision we all had. Watching all of the moving parts seamlessly blend together is a feeling I’ll never take for granted.

Photographing couples so candidly is a gift because it’s an honest insight into the foundation and character of their relationship. It is a constant source of inspiration to keep creating, to keep telling stories, and above all - to keep connecting with people.

A legendary party for the people - something we love when it aligns with our couple’s destination wedding day dreams.

Forever reminded of the love featured here, and how island life has way of accentuating the best parts of life.

There’s something about film photography that makes it feel so tantalizing. It’s imperfect, yet the soft tones and grainy texture make it so honest. It replaces instant gratification, and instead offers something that’s becoming more rare to us as each day passes - it offers us presence. Every frame is a deliberate choice to honor whatever the intention was of a specific moment that’s been suspended in time.

As much as we try, and as close as we get, one can never really quite replicate film’s gravitational pull. I think that’s why it’s once again resonating with so many couples today. It’s an opportunity to slow down, and savor the in-between.

It’s true that every photo tells a story, and this one of Ryan and I feels like a subtle reminder of all the eras we’ve grown through together.

Each year offers an opportunity to reshape the story we’re telling, a chance to build an era of our lives that reflect who we’re becoming.

This year, Wild Elements is in the midst of an evolution. New branding photos are underway, an updated and refined presence on the web, and refreshed client resources have been thoughtfully designed to improve every aspect of the client experience.

These changes reflect more than this present version of my work coming to the surface, but also the commitment I make to every couple who chooses to work with me.

Whether you’ve found yourself here because you too are welcoming change in 2025, if you’re celebrating something big, or because you’re looking to preserve this current phase of your life to one day reminisce on - I hope you’ll feel compelled to reach out. My inbox is open, and awaiting your arrival.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to elope somewhere tropical with a magically clandestine quality, blanketed in ethereal landscapes in every direction?

Well, that’s Costa Rica. This country’s captivating nature transcends the realm of possibilities for elopement day celebrations.

Just take a look at D + C. Their experience is a raw embodiment of the Pura Vida spirit that lives within this Central American oasis. Surrounded by the melodies of tropical wildlife, drenched in the cool mist cast by the waterfalls, these two stand barefoot in awe of the world around them. If you feel at all enticed by the scenes above, Costa Rica may be the ideal place for you and yours to say “I do”.

I spent some time compiling a wealth of information in an article that details how you can elope in this Central American country. You’ll also find more about D + C’s elopement experience, and a larger glimpse into their final collection of photos. You can find the link in my stories, or my bio!

I couldn’t help but share more of this delightful afternoon outing from this past fall with J + J. There’s nothing like a stroll through the woods when the air is crisp, and the leaves are falling all around you. This time of year has a way of comforting you like no other.

While I adore the fall, my relationship with winter needs some work. She can be hard to love. Warmer days are on the horizon. They may not be close enough to feel just yet, but they’re close enough to see. And I must say, that sits well with me.
