A couple holds each other beside a white station wagon on a gravel road crossing the Saskatchewan prairie. Tall grass in front of them and a storm sky over everything. Black and white.

Saskatchewan. Canada.

Elopements

No frills.Onlythe real.

Two people. A wild place. Vows said to the wind and to each other. And held close for a long time. Built for American couples whose somewhere is somewhere else. The North, the wild coasts of Canada, the old light of Europe. I document the day exactly as it happens. Nothing staged. Nothing borrowed. Yours.

Manifesto

Everywhere is beautiful.

A cliff above the Atlantic at first light is beautiful. So is a ridge swallowed by fog and a black beach in sideways rain. The weather does not ruin a day. The weather is the day. And the point is never the place. The point is the two of you inside it. Close. Warm against the wind. Saying the strongest words of your lives where nobody performs and nobody watches.

The Offer

You get me. Nothing less. Nobody else.

Photo

I document your day the way it happens. The shaking hands and the tears nobody planned. Nothing staged. Nothing done twice.

Film

Your vows in your own voices. The wind and the laughter and the silence right before the yes. A film you can hear as much as watch. One day you will press play and be right back there.

Photo + Film

Both from the same pair of eyes. The still moments and the moving ones documented as one story. Your story told whole. Nothing lost in between.

And I am not only there to document. I am your guide out there. I have walked these places in every season and I know how they behave. You just have to show up and love each other. I carry the rest.

  • The routesTraced so the day breathes and nothing ever feels rushed.
  • The lightI know when each place turns gold and when it turns wild.
  • The locationsThe famous ones and the ones I keep to myself.
  • Hidden cornersCorners of the country you would never have found on your own.
  • The bedsBeds worth falling into after a day of wind and vows.
  • The stopsStops along the way that make the trip as big as the wedding.
  • The roadThe road between places, driven slowly, so the day is never spent on logistics.
  • The timingYour vows at the hour when the light turns kind.
  • SurprisesThere is always at least one.
  • AnywhereWherever you want to go. We will go.

No two loves burn the same way. Yours has never been told. We build your day together from the very first word. Tell me your story first. Then we talk for real.

Places

Where the wind
takes us.

These are the places that call me back. Iceland first, and it is not even close. But a list is only a door. Wherever your heart points. That is where we go.

Iceland

Black sand. Waterfalls that shake the ground. Weather with a temper. And the two of you warm inside it.

Prince Edward County, Ontario

Shorelines and long light on the lake. A place that sits higher than the world.

Anupaya, Deep River, Ontario

Cabins tucked between forest and shoreline on the Ottawa River. A white sand beach. Mornings that start slow and ask nothing of you.

Fogo Island, Newfoundland

An island off an island. Fog rolling in. Red fishing stages. The Atlantic doing what it wants.

France

Old stone. Slow villages. A light that painters crossed oceans to stand in.

Cliffs at the edge of Europe. Wind in everything. Welcomes as warm as the weather is wild.

Mountains falling into the sea. Rainforest air. A wild edge minutes from the street.
