Let’s explore beautiful alternatives that truly reflect your love story.
let's kick off your adventure with the elopement of your dreams
Love is an epic journey
Modern elopements offer a beautiful alternative for couples who desire:
- an intimate and private ceremony
- a unique or breathtaking location
- to skip the elaborate planning and large guest lists typical of traditional weddings.
Your wedding day should be more than just a performance for others or a moment for social media; it should be a meaningful celebration of your love. I believe it should be purposeful and crafted within the Lord's divine plan. As you make this sacred commitment, let the love and devotion between you and your partner take center stage, rather than the expectations of others or minor details.
This is a promise for a lifetime, one that deserves to be honored with sincerity. Let me help you create a wedding day that is meaningful, memorable, and truly reflects the depth of your love for one another. Together, we can capture the essence of your unique journey and celebrate your love story in a way that feels authentic and true to you.

Get to know me
I’m an elopement and intimate wedding photographer based in Arizona. I’ve been passionate about photography since 2014, but it wasn’t until the end of 2023 that I felt a calling from the Lord to take it more seriously. I believe that God has placed this gift in my heart to serve Him and those around me. My hope is to inspire and encourage others with a boldness in faith and life. I want everyone I photograph to know that they are here for a reason, no matter where they are in their journey. God loves you, and I want our time together to reflect that love—an unconditional love that comes directly from Him.
My mission is to create meaningful elopement experiences that reflect the essence of your unique love story through authentic and emotive imagery. I focus on natural and candid moments, resulting in stunning, timeless photos that truly tell your story. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me diving into DIY projects, reading, spending time with my husband Corey and our three fur babies, and of course, enjoying moments with Jesus.
so nice to meet you! I'm Shea, Jesus Loving sunset chaser + visual storyteller.
