Beacuse, real memories are documented, not "re-created" or staged.
Documenting your elopement should feel less instructional, and more like freedom. I'm your third wheel you'll probably keep forgetting is even there, allowing you the space to live out the day you dreamed up.
"She captured us, just as we were. It was so intimate, and real. Not once did we feel rushed around with a timetable."
- Desiree + Allen

Completely unscripted, a day designed around you. Elopement photography that lets you relive every fleeting moment, every laugh and breathtaking view.
We had a tremendously fun day in the Adirondacks with Tinara. It was really great to be able to have our pick of the location we wanted, we chose Coney Mtn for the 360º Views. She really blew us away with the natural prompting she gave us, we really took in each little moment! It was so relaxing to just take it all in. It really was like having your best friend tag along for the ride, and take gorgeous photos of us! The photos are unreal. Each one feels like it transports us back to our elopement. We were laughing non-stop the entire day, I'd do this over and over again!"

Film has been a part of my work for the last few decades. It all started with a simple analog camera, a Black & White Film class, and one simple darkroom. I was hooked, and never let it go.
Years passed and now I offer Color and B&W Film in both 35mm and Medium Format hybrid with your gallery.
Memories feel different on film, and I believe you deserve to have an even more nostalgic feel to the memories you will share together.

If being pulled in every direction, stuck to a strict timetable, or performing cliche' or viral moments to appease your guest list sounds like a nightmare instead of a dream....babe, same.
You aren't wrong to feel that way
Over time, I've noticed couples rarely get to spend the majority of their wedding days actually ENJOYING it. And I don't just mean the remaining hours on the dance floor.
