adventure wedding + elopement photography
Let’s create a wedding day as one-of-a-kind as your love story.
your wedding day… your way.
Your relationship has been an adventure so far… and it just keeps getting better! Let’s celebrate your vows on your best adventure yet. Because who cares if your clothes get a little dirty or the wind messes up your hair. If you’re looking for a wedding day that is as unique as your relationship—— authentic, raw, and real—— you’re in the right place.
I’m McKenna, an adventure elopement photographer, here to help you design and remember a wedding that is crafted just for the two of you.
MEET MCKENNA
a storyteller, wanderer, and creative
I am completely addicted to stories— seriously, addicted. There has been more than a handful of times that I stayed up until 4:00 in the morning to finish a book because I physically couldn’t tear my eyes from the pages— or movies or a new tv series that I keep watching until my eyes are crossing with exhaustion. I just can’t put them down.
It’s also why I love this art so much. Through photography, I’ve become a storyteller too.
I throw my all into documenting your love story through my camera, with the goal that when you’re sharing your elopement story someday (with friends, family, your future children or grandchildren) they can feel the story in the pages of your album. The emotion and excitement of all of the little moments, and the love that you share, jumping off the page the same way that we feel it when we’re completely enveloped in a novel. Because I truly believe that feeling, those memories— your love— deserves to be documented.

WHERE ADVENTURE MEETS EMOTION
so what is an adventure elopement?
Now that you’re eloping, you get to forego the wedding traditions that don’t align with you and truly focus on a day that feels like yours. You can turn your wedding day into an unforgettable experience with your favorite person and celebrate your love in an epic adventure.
Let me guess
eloping is perfect for you if…
1
You’re adventurous + spontaneous.
There is something indescribable about feeling the mass of the world around us as we stand so tiny on a canyon overlook, or fly above the clouds. Adventure elopements give you the chance to explore somewhere amazing, and exchange your vows in a unique place.
2
You value experiences over things.
Maybe the “things” that come with weddings aren’t really your thing (like the coordinated bridesmaid dresses, the perfect invitation calligraphy, or the registry list). If that doesn’t really matter to you, that’s okay! You can create an elopement day that is centered around building an experience with your love.
3
You want a stress-free wedding.
Throw the unneeded stress out the window—— the people-pleasing, the planning stress, and the feeling that your wedding day is more of a performance than an experience. With elopement, you get to plan the day around you two and have a laid-back experience with your partner.
The day you say “I Do” is just the beginning…
The beginning of the rest of your lives together, so it should start off right. It should feel like you. When you elope with me, you’re going to…
And while you get to experience all of this, I’ll capture the details: the candid connection, the happy tears, emotional vows, bursting laughs, and all of authentic moments that make up your wedding day and deserve to be honored for the rest of your lives.
couples’ EXPERIENCES
You don’t have to take my word for it.
Check out the kind words from couples that I have recently helped plan and document their wedding day.
Ady + Chase
Eloped in Colorado
“Working with McKenna on our dream micro adventure wedding was everything we wanted and more! We knew when planning our wedding photography was almost as important if not as important to us as location and the select people we wanted along for the adventure. We were able to spilt our services over two days to include our small family friend ceremony and a day of adventuring on our favorite wildflower filled trail in Crested Butte Co.
Not only was Mckenna relaxed, focused, and so easy to work with, our pictures look like they belong in a magazine! We cannot wait to work with her again and her work is worth EVERY single penny and more!
P.S. her photo albums after your wedding day… that alone is one of the most magical things I have ever owned. Down to the detail. 100% my favorite part of her packages!”
Kaitlyn + Marshall
Intimate wedding in California
“McKenna is an incredibly talented photographer and an even BETTER person to work with. You don’t realize that the one person, besides your partner, that you will be with the most on your wedding day is your photographer! McKenna was exactly who I needed by my side.
She captured all of our beautiful moments and supported us throughout our wedding day and through the ENTIRE planning process. McKenna was with us from beginning to end! I would recommend her to any couples looking for exceptional photos that really capture their personality. Thank you McKenna for giving us photos and memories that will last a lifetime.”
