“But Bryan… we’re not like the models in your other photos. We’re awkward. We don’t know what to do with our hands. We’re gonna need a LOT of guidance.”
Snippets from some of my favorite adventure days — and a few words from the couples who lived them
-Probably You and Every Other Couple That Has Worked With Me
This isn’t just a portfolio — it’s proof that you don’t have to be models to look like this.
Every photo here is of a real couple who once told me they were “awkward in front of the camera.”
And you know what? They always end up looking incredible.
Not because I taught them how to model, but because I create a space where they can actually relax, laugh, and just be themselves.
That’s the difference. I’m not here to bark out poses or make you feel like you’re on stage. I bring a calming presence that helps you breathe and soak in the day. Every laugh, tear, and windblown hair is genuine.
Most of my couples say it feels less like a photographer tagging along and more like a friend with a camera who’s there to capture every laugh, every tear, and every “holy shit, we did it” moment.
More Than Photos. A Whole Experience.
Some of my favorite Photos
Go beyond the highlights
Every trail tells a story — here are a few of my favorites.
Every elopement is a full-day adventure, not just a highlight reel.
From first light hitting the mountains to the last laugh by the campfire, these stories capture the whole experience — the anticipation, the joy, and the real, unscripted moments in between.
Each one is different. Each one is unforgettable.
Take a peek into what a full “Summit to Forever” experience looks like.

The Experience Matters More Than the Pose
Look, we’re not out here chasing perfect poses. We’re chasing moments that feel real.
So don’t stress about posing. You just be yourselves, and I’ll handle the rest.
The best photos? They’re the ones that happen in between. When your pack strap gets stuck, when you’re doubled over laughing, when you stop halfway up the trail just to breathe and take it all in.
That’s the stuff that actually matters.
You don’t need to know what to do with your hands — I’ll help you out when you need it. What I really want is for you to feel comfortable enough to forget the camera’s even there.
Because when you’re having a good time, when you’re fully in it — that’s when the magic happens.
