Hi, I’m Rachel!
My story begins by winding its way through cheap travel, makes a stopover at film school and lands here where I take my passion for adventure travel and merge it with my love of capturing the stories reflected in amazing people.
I’m your photographer, planner & friend.
I am fortunate to have grown up with an aircraft mechanic father, and the flight benefits that went along with it. Solo trips all over the United States became international explorations where food and culture were always at the forefront of my carefully curated plans. Film & photography guided my college experience and I fell in love with the storytelling of a photoshoot, the tactile artisan of film exposures.
I know what it means to be fulfilled by a soul nourishing adventure spent with the someone you love, and I want to help make that your reality too. Whether that's an elopement to the love of your life, a solo boudoir adventure or a weekend camping trip with your friends, I want to capture these moments so you can be fully present and have the printed memories. It's a lot like having your cake and eating it too, just add dirt, sunshine and a lot of laughs.

Rachel and I have been friends since childhood, but our friendship grew as we connected over our passion for adventure and travel. Writing became my constant companion as I worked through discovering what I wanted to do with my life. After finding myself a flight attendant, traveling and constantly on-the-go, I realized I missed the genuine human connection I found when I was a trainer and gym owner.
Reconfiguring my plans, I landed in massage and movement therapy where I now work part-time to help people recover and move better in their outdoors adventures. Rachel and I work together to ensure your ability level is matched with the most epic experiences. I feel such deep soul nourishing joy when I'm on a trail, summiting a mountain or making a coffee in the backcountry, and I want to help others feel confident and safe in taking that wild leap into the unknown.

Let’s Adventure Together Because…
You don’t settle for the “default.”
When it comes to celebrating love with your forever person, you don’t settle for the traditional and the mundane, and you don’t have to for your wedding either. Together we will plan your ultimate dream day down to every last intentional detail.
You deserve incredible moments.
Life is short, and you deserve the magic of experiencing an incredible adventure with the beautiful human you are choosing to spend the rest of your life with. Let the grand adventure of your union be celebrated in a spectacular wedding experience.
You don’t owe anyone anything.
Traditional weddings are synonymous with stress, people pleasing and compromise, but a wedding should be about you. Elopements allow you the opportunity to relieve the stress and enjoy every moment of your special day. That may look like a hike on a meaningful local trail or an epic multi-day adventure in New Zealand (seeing a theme?). Your choice. Your adventure. Your magical experience.
