SWAPPING THE AISLE FOR THE VIEWS

If the thought of standing in front of 100+ people and declaring your love to your partner makes you more nervous than excited, you've come to the right place!

Your wedding day should be centered around you and your partner doing the things that make you feel happy and comfortable. For you, that means stepping outside of the box and going all in on an epic elopement day in a beautiful location.

I'm here to help you have an elopement or intimate wedding that is unique to you and your partner. I'll be there every step of the way to help you plan the day and capture it as it happens so you can remember the amazing day that kicked off your beautiful marriage.

My love letter to you.


Hey, I'm Syd.


I'm a traveling elopement photographer based in my appalachian home of North Georgia & my happy place, Colorado. After 5 years of documenting my couples stories, my love for my role has only grown. I capture your memories and turn them into art for you to look back on for years to come. My goal for every elopement is to prioritize your important moments and never let your day feel like one big photo shoot. Nothing makes me happier than serving you with photos that capture how magical a moment was. I want you to have the best time with your partner and for you to say "Wow, I love our photos".
