When you close your eyes to picture your big day, I’ll bet you see lush untouched nature. The one you love by your side, with an adventurous twinkle in their eye. Both of you so relaxed and present, it’s clear you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be: a laid back, soulful experience that makes you two come alive.
Your trailhead starts here. Which way lovers?
You heard me. It’s your day, so it’s YOUR call on how to spend it. Maybe you’ll swap your veil for a headlamp as you whisper your vows at dawn, the sun rising over a majestic mountain peak behind you. Maybe exploring a secret waterfall, dancing under your favorite constellations by firelight, or a cozy party at a craft brewery is more your thing (IPAs and breathtaking nature are my two love languages, so I feel you on all counts!).
Whatever elopement or intimate wedding adventure you’re dreaming up, you can count on me for a lot of heart and a whole lot of soul in our journey together – not to mention expertise on navigating the great outdoors with awe and care, thanks to my 7 years in the US Forest Service. Documenting your day unfolding in a pure, unrushed and authentic way is why I’m here. Let’s do this!

WHAT COUPLES ARE SAYING
I can’t tell you how thankful I am we decided on Erica for our elopement in Bend. Before our big day, she asked all the right questions and made me feel 100% secure that all our photo needs would be met, all over email! On our wedding day, she was everywhere! Getting the perfect shots and giving us feedback. She was easy to trust and we were so happy to try all her fun photo ideas! After our big day, she was so quick with first looks and the whole set of hundreds of photos came within weeks of our day! I have so many favorite images from our day thanks to Erica!

Meet Erica
Your down-for-pretty-much-anything elopement guide and photographer.
I’ve always had a love and appreciation for the outdoors. I grew up camping, hiking and fishing in Colorado. We would take family trips to the mountains or lake every chance we could get. When I decided to go to college at Colorado State University, I majored in Forestry and spent the first six years after I graduated working for the Forest Service. My husband and I met in college, and we backpacked and mountain biked all over Colorado and Utah. Navigating with a map and compass was something that was so easy for me. So, as I began taking on more adventurous clients, I realized that my knack for finding cool, off the beaten path locations, is ingrained in me. I don’t spend many days backpacking anymore, but I still love a great adventure! I want to help make your day incredibly special, and for me, that starts off with finding the perfect spot to marry!

- Human Rights – I truly believe that every person matters and that we all have the right to love who we want without any judgement or question. You are important to me and telling your story in an authentic way is my goal.
- Diversity + Inclusion – Representation matters to me. Humans come in all shapes, sizes, colors, nationalities and sexual orientations, and all are welcome here. I treasure and celebration diversity in my life and my business!
- Joyous Experiences – Your wedding day should be something that you can’t wait to celebrate! I want to create an experience that is true to who you are, and brings you so much happiness, free of stress and things that don’t serve your most authentic self.
