ADVENTURE


I like to say it's in my blood to travel; I took my first flight when I was less than 6 months old, and I haven't stopped since. Seeing all 3 coasts, 19 states and traveling overseas, my instinct to travel is strong.


Be like my friends and rely on me to help coordinate your travels! You need me, an experienced traveller, as your elopement photographer.
