ALL couples celebrated. I'm in the LGBTQ+ community and body positive.

I'm based in Denver, CO and serve the entire state of Colorado and destinations across the USA and abroad. National Park elopements, microweddings, intimate weddings and hiking elopements are common.
I was 7 when I discovered photography and shot my first wedding when I was 16. Wedding photography has been my full time job since 2012, so I've lost count of the couples I've shot.
My style is romantic and modern, bright colors and dramatic compositions. I want to create photos that push the limits of my imagination - and yours. My posing style is very smushy and the more giggling the better!

$4900-$8900 is my typical range.
I love to use zoom or phone calls to meet with clients.
I am almost exclusively self-taught, while taking inspiration from many workshops, tutorials and lighting training. I am inspired by elements from all different styles of photography - especially landscapes - and bring them into your wedding and elopement photography.
I love cats (like, a lot!), camping, birdwatching, maps, national parks, archery, and raspberries.

Then, we found Lucy. Lucy Schultz, the absolute GOAT. Lucy went above and beyond, on every single aspect of our elopement. She helped us choose Yosemite as our ceremony Park, and gave us her incredible Yosemite elopement guide. When we suggested one ceremony spot, she Read More used her expertise to help us choose a different spot, telling us it would be way better (she was completely correct).
We told her we wanted to hike all day, rain or shine. And she was game for our crazy plan. She planned out the whole route, and gave us an hour-by-hour itinerary for the day (with plenty of flexibility built in). She met with us whenever we wanted to talk, and was always responsive to texts or emails. She sent us a questionnaire to get to know us, and by the end of the questions we could really tell that Lucy deeply, truly cared about us as a couple.
Then came the elopement day! Lucy was up and ready to go with us at 4:00 AM, ready to hike. She hiked up to Sentinel Dome with us, and we made it up with plenty of time before our sunrise ceremony. She helped wrangle the wedding dress, and coordinated our first look, spontaneous sneaky stick-on mustache and all!
When she officiated the ceremony Lucy put all the info she got from the questionnaire to good use, tailoring her remarks as officiant to us and our relationship, balancing humor with sentiment and perfectly setting the mood of the ceremony, and playing one of our favorite songs as we ended the ceremony, celebrating our new marriage.
Lucy then hiked with us for another 16 miles and a total of 13 hours. Through rain, brutal inclines, brutal declines, thirst, glaring sun, and a stunning rainbow, she not only hiked with us, but hiked ahead of us, capturing incredible photos along the way.
On that hike, we formed a strong friendship with Lucy, who really understood us as a couple and as individuals. She was the exact kind of kooky that clicked with our craziness. We were laughing the whole way, even as we blistered, chafed, and sighed when we realized we had waaaay more hiking left than we thought we did.
And the photos! The photos Lucy took not only managed to capture the entirely surreal and gorgeous Yosemite scenery, they also captured the pure, raw emotion of the day. When we look at the photos, we not only have our breath taken away by how stunning they are, we also have our heartstrings tugged by how clear our memories are. We can see the love, joy, and laughter of the day in every photo. As we looked through the gallery we kept saying "I remember that! Oh my god I'm so glad she got that moment!"
We can't exaggerate when we say that Lucy is THE elopement photographer. We both believe that our elopement was better with Lucy than it would have been without her. If you are looking for absolutely, outrageously beautiful elopement photos, that capture emotions and memories, Lucy is the one for you. If you're looking for a bona-fide expert in National Park elopement planning, Lucy is the one for you. If you're looking for someone with attention to detail and real connection, Lucy is the one for you. Lucy could not be more worth it, and we will be forever grateful that she joined us on our elopement-hike-adventure.
