Your day, the way it felt standing up there

You don't need a big room or a long guest list. You need good boots and the people you love, and somebody to catch the moment your voice cracks during the vows.

I'll help you pick the trail, time the light and plan around the weather (it changes fast up here). Then I stay out of the way and photograph the day the way it really happened.

trail hiker, film lover, big crier at vows

Hi, I'm Josie!

I grew up in Enterprise and spent every summer up Hurricane Creek. I started photographing friends' elopements in 2018, and now it's the only work I do.

I shoot on two cameras, one digital and one film, and I'll happily carry your bouquet up the switchbacks.

"We hiked in at five a.m. and every photo was worth it"

Josie planned the whole morning around the light and the wind. She kept us laughing on the climb and sent the gallery a month later. We still look at it every week.

The quiet parts of the day are the ones you keep

Cold hands and wind in the veil, mostly. Here are a few favorites from the last two seasons.
