I’m an intimate wedding photographer in Moab, UT and Jackson, WY.
I’m not saying you should pick your photographer solely based on how cool they are, but I’m not not saying that, either.
I got my first camera in 2017 to capture my hike from Canada to Mexico on the Continental Divide Trail. I was hooked on Wyoming after that and have lived here seasonally almost every summer since.
The next year, I set out with a compass and a stack of maps to hike 800 miles from Arches to Zion. This route showed me places around Moab and southern Utah I never would have thought to explore, and I try to imbue my work with this sense of exploration.
My timeline living in Moab, UT and Jackson, WY is more meandering than the rivers that run through these places, but I’ve more or less lived in both places seasonally since 2018. I worked as a guide in Moab and in the national parks and shot brand photography gigs on the side. Now, I’m lucky enough to move between Utah and Wyoming, where my partner guides on the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park.
I work as a copywriter for evo and take photos for Patagonia on the side. I also run communications for a very cool, supernatural thru-hiking podcast called Monarch, which I would recommend checking out even if you don’t book me to shoot your wedding. But tbh, you should probably do both.

Leave no Trace
I see a lot of wedding and elopement photographers with “LNT-Certified” badges, so I just wanted to write out my thoughts here. If you’re looking for a photographer who abides by Leave No Trace methods, I seriously applaud you for caring about the place where you’re getting married. My whole goal in guiding was to educate and get people motivated to protect these landscapes, so I love to see it.
To me, the certification is rather like “organic” labels - that is, it’s a pay to play label that doesn’t mean a whole lot. After working as an outdoor guide in a fragile desert ecosystem and hiking 7,000 miles across the country, I am confident in my Leave No Trace knowledge and ability to make sure our day has as little an impact as possible.
