Why me as your adventure wedding or elopement photographer?

Rugged, wild and epic landscapes crack open the human heart like no other. Listening to my heart on a trail, the peace comes over me from the sound of moving water are important sources of inspiration. Solitude and vastness are the moments that awaken our greatest potential. Crafting experiences with these components nurtures our authentic and best selves. Nature teaches us to love and accept what is. Wild spaces invite us to trust the divine, and lead us into awe and wonder. I want to craft sacred and bold experiences in nature with my couples. I feel deeply we are a part of something bigger and I aim to stand in awe of this beautiful truth. I hope you can see and feel this come through in my photography. I’m looking for couples who want to participate and prioritize this vibe. I love authentic and real interactions with my clients and set this kind of real and light hearted tone. I'm comfortable with your tears, your deepest truth and can't wait to share some laughs on our journey.

Has a big laugh and a young sense of humor. Addictions include poke, craft IPA’s, surfing and well roasted coffee. Has been accused of having a 70’s surf style and uses his arms expressively while riding in the back country or the ocean. Yosemite and San Onofre make him feel like he belongs. Alpine landscapes and the night sky evoke a deep state of awe and inspiration in him.

A foodie, naps on road trips, revels in routine and gets excited when a tent is being set up. Enjoys cuddling and belly rubs after breakfast. Compulsively hunts for seals whenever water is present. His heart is so big his little legs get tired carrying it around.


I love a good story. Let me help tell yours.

For the last 15 years, we have traveled the world capturing extraordinary moments in clients’ lives. Adventuring on bikes, boards, and boots are ways we connect with nature and friends. When Michael is not behind the camera, you’ll find us in the mountains or in the ocean. We are grateful to be a part of clients’ destination weddings, participate in humanitarian projects, and spend time in nature as part of our career. Each year, we donate a portion of time and income to collaborations with global non-profits. This work has taken us to places ranging from Nepal and Sri Lanka to Greece and New Orleans. The resulting photographs raise social awareness of humanitarian crises, help monitor situations on the ground, and tell the critically important human stories behind the headlines.

Whether your story takes us to an exotic destination or simply around the corner, Michael will work with you to understand your vision and deliver images that hit the mark. Every wedding, every couple, and every family has a unique story. We help tell yours through compelling, authentic photos in nature. In addition to creating beautiful images, we work hard to create experiences in nature that are meaningful and unforgettable.
