Lake Tahoe Elopement Photographer
California Adventure Elopements
For the Wild Lovers Who Want More Than the Ordinary
Your Newest Adventure Partner & Biggest Fan!
Off-the-beaten-path adventures. Intentional vows. Just the two of you — and the whole damn sky.
If you’re dreaming of ditching the big wedding, escaping into the mountains, and saying your vows somewhere real — this is it.
Lake Tahoe isn’t just beaches and ski resorts (though those are rad too). This place is home to secret trails, high alpine ridgelines, turquoise water, golden hour meadows, and sunsets that will actually stop you in your tracks.
And you?
You’re not just “taking photos.”
You’re choosing to freaking live your wedding day. To hike out at sunrise, to jump in the lake after your vows, to eat pizza in your wedding clothes under a sky full of stars.
Sound like your vibe?
Let’s get you married in Lake Tahoe.
Because it’s where the mountains meet magic. Because it's a place where you can breathe. Because you want a wedding day that feels like you.
Say your vows above an alpine lake with no one else around
Catch the sunrise from a granite peak (coffee in hand, hearts full)
End the day with your feet in the lake and the person you love most by your side
Eloping here isn’t about checking boxes.
It’s about choosing joy, freedom, and intentional love.
Why elope in Lake Tahoe?
Off the Beaten Path = On Purpose
I specialize in helping you find the hidden gems — the kind of places you won’t find on Google, with no crowds, wild views, and all the space in the world to just be together.
Whether it’s:
A 2am hike to a summit for sunrise vows
A mellow wildflower trail with your dog in tow
A paddle-out elopement on the lake at dusk
Or snowshoeing into a winter wonderland
We’ll craft something 100% yours.
Messy hair, muddy boots, windblown dress, happy tears, wild laughs, silence in the trees, and the kind of love that makes you feel like the only two people on the planet.
You'll get:
A day built around your relationship, not a schedule
A custom location guide based on your priorities (views? forest? lake? seclusion?)
A timeline that lets you move slow, take it all in, and actually enjoy the experience
A photographer who gets it — and is just as excited as you are
What’s it like to elope in Tahoe?
This is for you if…
You want to skip the production and actually be present
You’d rather explore a trail than walk down an aisle
You crave something more meaningful than a Pinterest wedding
You want to feel deeply, love loudly, and remember it all
You don’t need a venue.
You need a mountaintop, a trail, a lake, a sunrise.
You need each other. That’s it.

FAQs (aka “Oh Sh*t, We Didn’t Think of That”)
Do we need permits to elope in Scotland?
Not for most outdoor locations, which is one of the many reasons Scotland is amazing. I’ll help you figure out if your spot needs anything official.
What if it rains?
It probably will — and that’s part of the magic. Scotland’s weather is ever-changing and moody AF, but that just means more drama in your photos. I’ll help you prep and have backup plans if needed.
How far in advance should we book?
The earlier the better — especially for summer and fall elopements. But last-minute magic happens too. Reach out and we’ll make it work.
Can you help us with travel tips or vendors?
Absolutely. I’ll send you my Scotland elopement guide packed with info on travel, accommodations, officiants, florals, hair and makeup — all the things.
