About this vendor
Adventure Quietly Photographed | Intimate Weddings & Elopements in Nature
If you're planning an intimate wedding or elopement and the thought of a big traditional reception makes you anxious... you're my couple.
I specialize in documenting small, intentional weddings (100 & less) and elopements in natural settings - beaches, mountains, forests, wherever your hearts lead us.
My approach is simple: I capture your adventure without getting in the way of it. No stiff posing. No timeline stress. Just genuine moments in beautiful places, photographed peacefully and authentically.
What makes my photography different
- Nature-focused locations - I know the best light, the hidden spots and how to make outdoor weddings look magical( even if it rains)
- Intimate celebration specialist - Small weddings aren't "less than" big ones - they're MORE intentional. I know how to capture the emotion and beauty of your small ceremony just as powerful as a 150 plus event.
- Calm, unobtrusive presence - You won't feel like you have a camera in your face all day. I document moments as they happen, not staged or forced.
- Adventure friendly - Want to hike to your ceremony spot? Say vows at sunrise? Elope on a Tuesday? I'm there with my camera and sense of adventure.
Perfect for couples who:
- Value quality time with their favorite humans over impressing 200 acquaintances
- Want their wedding to feel like an experience, not a performance
- Love the outdoors and want nature as part of their story
- Prefer authentic moments over Pinterest-perfect poses
- Are planning elopements, micro-weddings, or intimate destination celebrations
What you'll get:
Pre-wedding consultation to plan your day and scout locations
Professional, relaxed guidance on your wedding day (I'll help you with timelines, lighting, and even bustle your dress if needed)
Beautifully edited images delivered within 6-8weeks
Photos that feel like you—not a staged version of you
An online gallery that's easy to share and download
I limit the number of weddings I take on each year because I want to show up fully present for every couple. No burnout, no rushing, just genuine connection and beautiful documentation.
If you're dreaming of a wedding that feels peaceful, adventurous, and completely YOU—let's talk.

A great photographer for national park weddings
One, a talent for photographing weddings in national parks.
Two, good dancing shots as my husband and I met through blues dancing.
This is why we picked Bernadette, but we got a lot more out of our experience with her. She was great at being where she needed to be, giving direction at the right times, getting the shots that were important but not making the day feel over directed. She picked up all kinds of details and was a joy to be around throughout the day, as well as to work with throughout the year.
She fully captured our special moment❤️
