You're not just planning a wedding. You're claiming a day that feels like you. Honest. Intentional. Free.

Meet Your Elopement Photographer and New Adventure Companion
I don’t just take photos, I curate experiences that strip away the stress and let you fully immerse yourself in your wedding day
Hi, I'm Bryan
and I'm so glad you're here
I'm a retired engineer turned adventure elopement photographer. I traded calculations for trail maps and church weddings for mountaintop vows because I believe there is no better feeling than being immersed in nature with the one you love most.
I’m here to help you do just that - craft a day that’s intentional, immersive, and connected. Think of me as your photographer, guide, problem solver, and biggest fan all rolled into one.

+ Outdoor and Hiking Expertise
With my calm demeanor and years listening and understanding people’s stories, you won't feel like a client—you’re friends, and your story deserves to be told right.
I don’t care about trendy edits or perfect poses. I care about capturing you. The real, unfiltered moments that make your love story yours, so your photos don’t just look good, they feel like you.

With years spent on the trail, I’ll make sure you feel confident and prepared every step of the way. You’ll get expert guidance, hidden gem locations, and the freedom to fully enjoy your day.

"Bryan was absolutely wonderful throughout the whole process!
He was super intentional from the start! He sent over lots of helpful information in the beginning to help us get a better idea on what exactly we wanted our day to look like and then worked with us every step of the way to create it!
During our wedding day it felt like we were just hanging out with a friend! The whole day was super relaxed feeling and he made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! And he took a ton of stress off of us as far as the planning! The pictures have been more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! He really puts his heart into what he does and I could not recommend him enough!"

"The guy is pure magic behind the lens. Flip through the album, and it's like you're right back in the moment. What's so great about Bryan? it was like hanging with an old friend who happened to be an amazing photographer. Zero stress, all good vibes. Bryan isn't your typical photographer, he turns your day into a visual masterpiece. Bryan's your guy!
"Bryan was amazing from the very beginning! His attention to detail and organization from the planning portion to the actual photos on the day of the wedding was perfect. Bryan was able to help bring the vision in my head to fruition. My husband and I are both a little introverted yet felt totally comfortable with Bryan on our wedding day; he is easy to work with and has a calming presence that was greatly appreciated! Also, the photos are AMAZING! "
"We are overjoyed with the pictures that Bryan took, and are thankful for the memories we created! Bryan helped us to feel relaxed and made the day fun! I think this is what really makes Bryan different from other photographers, he was intentional at helping us to feel at ease and made sure that we were happy throughout the whole day. We promise you will not be disappointed with Bryan!

"Book him right now. Finding him was the biggest blessing!"
"I’ve been doing weddings my entire life- flowers, catering, makeup and hair, so I have met a ton of wedding photographers and Bryan is the absolute best! He is truly there for your best interest! Since I have worked weddings my whole life, we did not want anything cookie cutter, and he was all for taking our pictures in Jekyll for our elopement. He was great to work with and has a calming personality that eases any nerves. Neither of us enjoy having our pictures taken, but by the end of the day we were literally climbing trees to get the perfect shot! It felt like we were hanging with a friend who just happened to bring a camera! I HIGHLY recommend you book with him! Finding him was the biggest blessing and we cannot wait to share all of the pictures with everyone!"

I'm based in Georgia and Blue Ridge and Appalachian mountains are my backyard. But I also travel far and wide for couples who want their day to feel like the adventure of a lifetime! Whether it's the Otter Cliffs of Acadia, the coasts of the PNW, or epic hikes in the Dolomites, I'm in!
I only take on 20 couples each year so I can fully show up for every story I tell.
Have a date or dream location in mind but don’t see it listed? Reach out anyway! If it’s the right fit, we’ll find a way to make it happen.

Complimentary Milestone Magazine
Every elopement deserves to be more than just a digital gallery—it should be something you can hold, flip through, and relive over and over.
That’s why every package includes a custom 24-page Milestone Magazine—a beautifully and professionally designed, high-quality print magazine featuring your favorite moments. It’s more than just photos; it’s a tangible story of your day, crafted to be a keepsake you’ll cherish for years. Because your elopement isn’t just a memory—it’s a legacy worth preserving.
I will send your gallery to Jessica, the designer, and the design process begins! Any additional information you’d like to include (like vows, ceremony scripts, etc.) can be added to a Google Doc, but is not necessary. Your magazine will be proofed by myself and you, then printed and mailed out soon after!
A treasured keepsake for generations to come
A $200 value
STILL HAVE QUESTIONS? I'VE GOT ANSWERS
As soon as you feel ready! Most couples book 6–12 months out, but I also leave room for last-minute adventurers. Once you know you want to elope, we’ll make it happen.
Every package includes intentional planning support, sneak peeks in 48 hours, full gallery delivery in 3 weeks, and photography that feels effortless and true to you. You also get location scouting, timeline help, and someone in your corner who cares deeply about your experience. I've got you!
Perfect! Most couples I work with aren’t, and honestly, that’s what makes the photos so good! I’ll guide you just enough so you feel comfortable and I will create space for you to be yourselves.
No, hiking is not a prerequisite to having the best elopement day. While I specialize in hiking elopements, adventure, the outdoors, and love is different for everyone, and your elopement day should reflect that!
Absolutely! Whether it’s just the two of you or a small group of the people you love most, we’ll create a plan that feels meaningful, intimate, and totally you! For logistics and location purposes, I ask that the total number of people be kept under 30 people. Some Public Lands are becoming more strict on elopements so the less people the easier it is to get approved for a permit.
No problem! That’s part of what I help with! I’ll suggest spots based on what you love and need: views, accessibility, privacy, and vibe—and we’ll narrow it down together. It's honestly one of my favorite things to do for my couples and don't let it hold you back from inquiring!
Heck yes! I’m based in the Southeast, but I’ll go wherever your love leads. My travel fees are included in your package—no hidden costs, no stress.
That’s exactly what the free planning call is for! We’ll talk through what your day could actually look and feel like, not just the timeline, but the vibe you want. The truth is, the best photos happen when you’re not rushed. When you’ve got room to breathe, explore, soak it all in. This isn’t a photoshoot, it’s your wedding day. You deserve to live it, not power through it. I’ll help you figure out what that means for you two!
Fill out the inquiry form and we’ll hop on a call to make sure we’re a good fit. From there, it’s a signed contract + $500 retainer to lock in your date. After that, the fun begins!!
