What services do you offer?

Half day, full day, 3 day adventures…you name it, I can accommodate it. The whole point of this experience is it’s about YOU two, I’m flexible and my status as a local let’s me roll with the punches (be it due to weather, delayed flights, logistics). You want to go on a 30 mile backpacking trip? You’re badass and kinda insane (it’s ok I am too), let’s do it.
Why you so cheap, boy?

That one is easy, I’m Local. As an Alaskan you don’t have to pay for my food/lodging/travel to get here. I keep costs low because I believe that everyone deserves A++ photography, there truly shouldn't be a premium on anything as soon as you say “elopement” or “Wedding.”
How do we get things rolling?

I’m just a chill guy ok? Haha, Start by sending me a text or give me a call!! We’ll get the process rolling and start locking up some dates.
How can I contact you?

Text or call, whatever you prefer! Let’s schedule a meet so I can get to know you.
Do you help plan our Elopement? There’s kind of a lot to do…

I’m a full service photographer. I’ll help you plan every excruciating detail of your day, I’ll give you itineraries of what to do on your day off…whatever your vibe is (Type A or B) I can match it. I’ll give you the lesser known, local spots that tour operators miss. My insider knowledge will help your day logistically flow smooth as can be.
As the French say “Abso-freaking-lotuely.” I have my passport locked and loaded, just let me know where and we’ll make it happen.

Do you Travel outside of alaska?
You’re in luck. One of the benefits of eloping in the Last Frontier is that we don’t have the headache of complicated/expensive permit systems/lotteries like they do in the lower 48. The only limit here is your imagination.

Do you offer discounts?
Bears, moose, sealions, bald eagles, you name it. Wildlife is very common here in the 49th state. It’s not uncommon to come across wildlife while out in the backcountry. I provide bear spray, safety techniques, and local knowledge to keep you safe and happy during your big day. We always respect wildlife and keep a safe distance but if you want a picture with a bear I can photoshop you riding one lol much safer than actually attempting to ride a bear.

Wildlife
Bad weather? No problem. I like to encourage my couples to go for it anyways as these photos sometimes turn out the best. Not feeling it? No worries, reschedules are available, hassle free. Please note that some areas experience excessive amounts of precipitation year round so do your research and know what to expect (:

Weather
In the summer months it’s not impossible but extremely unlikely as we experience our near 24 hours of sunlight. Winter is your best bet for the Aurora. Remember…you’ll want clear skies, no light pollution, and a high KP probability if you’re ready to chase some lights.
