From the first message to the moment you get your gallery — here's what it's like to elope with me.
The Glacier National Park Elopement Experience
You're not just booking a photographer. You're choosing someone who knows these mountains intimately, who's going to walk you through every detail of planning an elopement in Glacier, and who believes your day deserves the same care and attention you're putting into choosing it.
What you're really choosing—A day that feels like yours.
This is what that looks like...
Most couples have never planned a Montana elopement before. They know what they want it to feel like, but the logistics of eloping…? The permits, the timing, the locations, the vendors — that part can feel overwhelming from a distance.
That's where I come in. Long before your wedding day, we're already working together. I'll help you choose a location that matches your vision, handle the permit process, build your timeline, and make sure every detail is taken care of, so that when your day arrives, all you have to do is show up and be present with each other.
The Planning, Guided For You
What You're REally Getting
I know Glacier deeply. The light at Big Bend in the early morning. The stillness of Lake McDonald before the crowds arrive. The way Wild Goose Island Overlook looks when the sun casts its rays through the mountains. That knowledge is yours when you book with me. I live here. These mountains, these shorelines, are part of my everyday life. That depth of familiarity is something I bring to every elopement.
Local Knowledge At Your Service
And if you're traveling from out of state, I also offer a discounted rate at my private Airbnb at the gateway to Glacier, so your home base for the trip is taken care of too.

What's Included
How it all unfolds.
The PROCESS
Tell me a little about yourselves and your vision on a call. There are no wrong answers here — even “we have no idea, we just know we want Glacier” is a perfect place to start.
I know these locations deeply — the light, the hidden spots. I’ll help you find the place that fits your vision, your timeline, and the season.
A questionnaire will land in your inbox to get into details about how you want your day to be captured. Then, we'll hop on call to finalize the romantic details.
Your fully edited gallery arrives within 6 weeks with 75+ images per hour spent that feel as alive as your day did. Share the digital gallery with friends and family and order prints as you wish.
Seriously. By the time your day arrives, everything is taken care of. All you need to do is be present with each other.
Timeline, logistics, permit assistance, vendor recommendations, and if you need a place to stay, I help find lodging or have an Airbnb at a discounted rate for my couples.
Bowman Lake
Located on the northwest side of the park near Polebridge, this crystal-clear aquamarine lake, with a stunning mountain backdrop, provides a peaceful atmosphere far away from the heavy crowds of the main park roads.
Wild Goose Island Overlook
Surrounded by towering mountains, the tiny island rises from the surface of Saint Mary Lake. Wild Goose Island Overlook is perhaps one of the most recognizable scenes in all of Glacier.
Logan Pass
Logan Pass is the highest elevation point on the road and the place where it crosses the continental divide. Famous for its meadows, sweeping vistas, and access to Hidden Lake
Avalanche
Home to one of the first stops past the west entrance, Avalanche provides access to the Trail of the Cedars and Avalanche Creek, with a moderate hike to Avalanche Lake.
Fish Creek
A best-in-the-late-season location that is often overlooked — the water reflects the glacial mountains in the distance, illuminating its alpenglow on the mirror-like surface.

Your Questions, Answered
Do I need a permit to elope in Glacier National Park?
What's the best time of year to elope at Glacier?
Do I need to be an experienced hiker?
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
How far in advance should I book?
What happens after I inquire?
Yes! And I help with all of that for you. Permit requirements vary by location and season, and I'll walk you through the application process as part of your planning.
Late June through September is peak season, Going-to-the-Sun Road is fully open and the wildflowers are incredible. That said, shoulder seasons have their own magic and fewer crowds. I'll help you figure out what works best for your vision and timeline.
Not at all. Many of the most breathtaking locations in Glacier are accessible by scenic drive or a short walk. You don't need to earn the view with a 10-mile hike.
Montana weather is part of the adventure. I'll always have a backup plan ready, and some of the most beautiful light happens right after a storm.
Peak season dates book quickly, I recommend reaching out at least 6 months in advance if you're planning a summer elopement.
I'll reach out within 2 days to learn more about your vision and make sure we're a great fit. From there, we'll start building your day together.
