BRINGING CONNECTION
BACK TO WEDDINGS THROUGH NATURALLY LUXURIOUS
INTIMATE IMAGERY

BASED IN VIRGINIA’S SHENANDOAH VALLEY AMONG THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS

OVER A DECADE OF CAPTURING INTIMATE WEDDINGS + ELOPEMENTS

In 2012, when I first held a camera, it was like breathing life into an instinct I hadn’t yet known existed. The thrill of capturing a moment, of suspending a single heartbeat in time, filled me with a profound sense of purpose. Each shutter click became a way to paint with light and emotion—a pathway I would follow endlessly.

With years of dedication, a Bachelor’s in Fine Art, and an ever-deepening love for nature’s quiet beauty, I honed a style that combines artistry and authenticity. My work carries a natural sense of luxury, a richness that flows from capturing genuine interactions and the subtle, powerful moments that make each love story unique. Blending film into my process elevates these real-life moments, adding depth and dimension that feel both timeless and true.

Part of my love for the Blue Ridge Mountains, elopements, and intimate love stories began when I met my husband—a bearded Appalachian Trail hiker.

Together, we spent our beginning dates hiking the Blue Ridge Mountains, immersing ourselves in the awe-inspiring landscapes and forging a deep connection to the serene beauty & capturing those trails on camera. These experiences shaped my appreciation for authentic, heartfelt moments and the way nature cradles love so perfectly.

To me, a photograph is far more than an image; it’s an atmosphere, a feeling. It’s the warmth of a fleeting glance, the elegance of a hand held just so, the quiet wonder of a landscape that embraces love. Ridge and Ramble was born from this desire to tell stories that resonate—each image a piece of art that celebrates life’s most precious connections.

Back up Plans for Your Elopement

In my years within the elopement industry, I have learned something pretty important. Planning an elopement can be both exciting and nerve-wracking, especially when it comes to unpredictable weather conditions.

However, with a few contingency plans in place, you can ensure that your special day remains magical, regardless of what Mother Nature has in store.
