If you’ve never been to the Dolomites before, planning a proposal here can feel a little overwhelming. The mountains are huge, weather changes quickly, and there are hundreds of possible locations to choose from. That’s exactly how Sal felt when he first reached out to me through my website to start planning his proposal on […]

One of the best parts about planning an adventure elopement is that the day does not have to revolve around a schedule packed with obligations. Earlier this year, I wrote about how couples are spending their wedding budgets differently in 2026. Instead of building the day around a large guest list and a tightly packed […]

I spend so much of my time at this lake, it’s to the point where I’m considering moving closer. It’s gorgeous, you have an opportunity to rent a private location, and the bookings are always at sunrise. What’s not to love? As one of my previous couples who often watches my Instagram stories once said, […]

There is something transformative about the Dolomites in early March. The air is crisp, the peaks are draped in winter white, and if you’re lucky, you get that perfect “blue hour” glow just before the sun hits the Sciliar. When Abdel reached out to me a few months ago, he was looking for more than […]

What Couples are Spending Money on Instead of a Big Wedding Since around 2020, the way we get married has been changing.

Vardhan & Maahi’s Two-Day Engagement Adventure There are calm planners. There are chaotic planners. And then there is Vardhan, who texted me in a gentle but persistent state of “oh my god what if she sees the ring box in my pocket.” And he’s not alone, many of my proposing clients fit that description. I […]

Eric & Karen’s Dolomites Engagement Story Eric reached out to me wanting to plan something unforgettable for Karen while they were traveling through the Dolomites. His main concern was privacy, since he knew that the Dolomites are a bit #trending at the moment. He consulted with me about booking the boathouse, and luckily he got […]

Adventure elopements are about freedom, intention, and choosing what actually matters. But here’s the truth most couples don’t realize until later: the smallest details often hold the most emotional weight. In mountain elopements especially, where the landscape is vast and cinematic, your personal touches are what ground the day in you. As a wedding and […]

March in the Dolomites is a bit of a wild card. It might feel like spring in town, but head up into the mountains and you’re knee-deep in snow wondering if winter ever plans on leaving. Connor and Skylar leaned all the way into that energy, and honestly, I loved them for it. They reached […]

Being a Photographer Who Actually Thinks About Impact I travel for a living. The Dolomites, Switzerland, Iceland, remote valleys at sunrise, cliffs that try to blow us into the ocean. It’s an incredible job. It also has an environmental footprint, and I refuse to pretend otherwise. If I’m going to build a business around wild […]
