Hi, I'm Desiree! If you're here, we probably have a few things in common (big weddings not really being our thing, loving a sense of adventure, wanting to get photos of super cool moments... you know, the basics!). And as you explore my services, it's important to get to know me even better to make sure we're a good fit for each other. Read on to learn more about me and my photography style.

My Approach
As someone who chose to elope, I know how important it is for you to feel celebrated and have an amazing wedding day.
That's why as your photographer, I work to provide you not only with beautiful photos, but also in-depth planning assistance to help you have the day of your dreams.
Why elopements?
My journey into photography started with me chasing moments during my travels, eager to hold onto every memory. As I got older and as those memories got further away, I realized the power of photography to preserve and help us look back on our lives' most fleeting moments.
My priority is to document your story in a way that will let you look back on your day and remember how you felt—whether it’s 1 year or 20 years down the line. My approach is all about capturing the real, candid moments of your day. I'll give you prompts to help you pose and interact naturally, or fade into the background as you enjoy the activities of your day.
