Adventure Elopement Style Vow Reading
Have you ever wanted to elope? Many couples choose to elope because elopements are more intimate and personal than traditional weddings. For some couples, the idea of reading personal vows with 150 people looking on causes too much anxiety. Emily and Reid wanted something simple, intimate, and adventurous—a wedding that reflected who they are and what they value. But they also wanted the traditional experience of celebrating with friends and family. So they did both!
The vow reading was at the base of of the Green Monarchs on Lake Pend Oreille. A breath taking destination only accessible by boat.

Two-Day Wedding Photography Coverage
The bride and groom booked me on for both photography and videography, and wow—what a weekend! We kicked things off with a heartfelt vow reading on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille (hello, dreamy golden hour!) and followed it up the next day with a joyful, sun-soaked wedding celebration nestled in an apple orchard in Sandpoint, Idaho.
Wedding Photography that Captures Authentic Moments
Emily, the Bride, is a designer who naturally gravitates toward photojournalistic storytelling with a creative edge. It’s a style that speaks to intentionality, emotion, and aesthetic. This is where I thrive too: watching for the way light wraps around a moment, how movement and composition work together to tell a story. It’s raw, cinematic, and quietly artful—perfect for a couple who values both beauty and authenticity.
