You know that feeling when you suddenly realize you’re just so small in this infinitely big world? Well, I love that feeling. In fact, it’s something that I crave. The feeling of hearing nothing but my own heartbeat, the cool Earth sturdy beneath my feet. And ya know what? That’s exactly why I’m here for you: I am here to help you feel alive – because if there’s one day you want to remember every single feeling, it’s your wedding day.
I believe there is something so beautiful about finding peace and joy in the mundane. I believe in embracing the fleeting, in-between moments that may otherwise go unnoticed. I believe in heartfelt, deep conversations and staring at the stars for hours on end. I believe in straying from tradition and “norms”, and chasing something that sets your soul on fire.
I believe an elopement should be more than just beautiful photos and an epic view, but an entire experience designed with your love story at the center. Your elopement should be everything you want it to be, without sacrificing on the intention, the details, the florals, the decor, or anything else you’ve always dreamt of. Eloping is not about sacrificing, eloping is about embracing and feeling.

I spend a lot of my life outdoors with my husband, Ethan. We have been together for 8 years and we love to travel, backpack, camp, and fly fish! We eloped in Northwest Washington in 2023! Ethan has been nothing but supportive of my photography dreams, and he even steps in as my second shooter sometimes!
I am also obsessed with mountains. Every vacation we plan revolves around mountains and fishing. Is there anything better?
A few of my favorite things:
sunrises, diet coke, a fresh snow, crisp mountain air, fly fishing, holding hands at stoplights, wide-brimmed hats, and big dogs.
Being a wedding and elopement photographer is the most fulfilling thing I have ever done. I take pride in being the one you trust to capture and preserve your precious memories. I don't consider this "just a job." It is a part of my heart, and a tool that connects me with epic people and epic places. One of my passions is conservation, so this job has also inspired me to teach about and show others the great outdoors.
Sydney was absolutely amazing!! She was always available for any questions we had during the planning process, and truly took the stress away. The day of our elopement, she was just an absolute ray of sunshine! My now husband and I both say she is the reason the day was as amazing as it was- she was fun, light-hearted, and let us just be us. The pictures are breathtaking and truly capture the moments we had, but Sydney gave us more than just beautiful pictures. She gave us a truly unforgettable elopement that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend Sydney enough!!!

Absolutely cannot say enough amazing things about Sydney, simply an absolute blessing to my husband and I. We found her for our engagements photos in Montana, and it felt like walking around a National Park with one of our best friends. Once we decided to get married in Colorado, we began looking for local photographers but no one measured up to Sydney. She makes sure you get exactly what you want and need out of your photos, makes you feel like her top priority, is extremely organized and reaches out periodically before your day, and is just an all around an amazing person! We are constantly getting compliments on both our engagement (over a year later) and wedding photos. Everyone that attended our micro-wedding was blown away at how nice Sydney is and how she literally just fit in with everyone and made everyone feel so comfortable while capturing memories!
We would not trade our experience with Sydney for anything, cannot recommend her enough!!

The moment I found Sydney, everything fell into place. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and captured our day SO beautifully. From the moment we inquired about her services to even after our wedding day, Sydney is there for you. Not only is she amazing at what she’s does but she’s so supportive, kind and is a breath of fresh air. I’m not someone who thrives in front of the camera and she made me so comfortable. The best part? We have so many photos that are authentic and captures our special day so beautifully. If you come across her, hire her! You won’t regret :)
