When reflecting on this last year, it’s hard to be negative about it.  We were able to witness so many beautiful things in 2020. We were able to spend more time with family, and hold close what means the most to us. Out of all that beauty came love and celebration, micro weddings and elopements were huge trends. Many couples were forced to change plans multiple times, breaking traditional expectations all in the name of love. Although elopements aren’t what they used to be, I’m loving it. Couples are choosing adventure. Some get married in Grand Teton National Park, and others have an intimate backyard elopement.

Wherever your love is taking you, I’m ready to capture your adventure. If you’re interested in an epic Tetons elopement, I’ve got a few reasons to convince you it’s the right choice.
