Hi! I'm April
Your photographer, adventure buddy, and all-around elopement guide.
You're exactly where you need to be.
You’re not just hiring someone to show up with a camera, you’re choosing someone grounded, supportive, and deeply invested in your vision. I may be a city girl from Los Angeles, but my time living in Glacier National Park and exploring the mountains shaped the way I see and experience the world. Combined with my background in the Marine Corps, I bring a calm, prepared, and steady presence into every elopement.
If you’re dreaming of a wedding day that feels effortless, and entirely true to you, one that's inspired by the alpine lakes in Glacier, wildflower meadows in Yosemite, or the dramatic cliffs of Big Sur...
each package below includes:
Elopement experiences start at $3,500.
