Image a wedding day where you feel present, not pressure. The kind of day that doesn’t blur past in a whirlwind, but slows down so you can breathe it all in. A day where the little unscripted moments become the ones you’ll remember most.
You're drawn to the road less travelled
Whether you’re ready to blend tradition with adventure, or kick it to the curb entirely... I'm here for it!
You realized your wedding doesn't have to be a performance, instead it can be an experience
Suddenly, you’re swimming in questions no one prepared you for:
Where should we go?
What should we do?
Do we need permits?
What if it rains?
This is the part where all that freedom can feel a little like a freefall. Dreaming of mountaintop vows is easy; making it actually happen isn't. You were never meant to do this alone. You deserve a guide who can wade with you through the messy stuff so you can stay present in the magic of it all.
Until you realize it also means ditching the roadmap

- Maggie + Dave
From the moment we met Sierra, we knew she got us. Like really got us. Not only did she make us feel completely comfortable, she brought the perfect mix of calm presence, joyful energy, and creative genius that we didn’t even know we needed in a wedding photographer.
She somehow managed to be everywhere at once all while making us feel like we were just hanging out with a dear friend. Her talent for capturing candid moments with so much warmth and life is truly next level. We feel so lucky to have had Sierra behind the lens, and honestly, we kind of want to invent another major life event just so we can hire her again.
We love you, Sierra! You are pure magic!

TESTIMONIAL
"We're shy and super
awkward"
I get it. Seriously, I do. You are not alone, and I'm the same way! But if there's one thing my couples tell me, is how comfortable I make them feel in front of the camera.

How do we
get started?
Most couples come to me with a vision that blends tradition and adventure — maybe an island celebration with 100 guests or an epic glacier ceremony followed by a cozy local reception. If you already have a planner or coordinator (which I recommend for larger weddings), I’ll work closely with them to make sure everything flows smoothly. If you’re planning things yourself, I’ll help with timelines, vendor recommendations, and photo locations.
Every wedding collection also includes an engagement session so we can connect, get comfortable, and print announcements before your big day.
How involved are you in the planning process?
Adventure Weddings
Most of my eloping couples want a day that feels adventurous yet easy — but they’re not always sure where to start! That’s where I come in. I take a more hands-on approach with elopement planning than I do with weddings, helping with timeline creation, location scouting, vendor recommendations, permit guidance, backup plans, and even activity ideas to make the day feel uniquely yours.
Elopement packages don’t typically include an engagement session like weddings do, but you’ll receive plenty of personalized guidance and support to make sure every detail feels intentional and stress-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

01. What happens if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Alaska (and anywhere) can be wild and unpredictable, and that’s part of the adventure. Whether it’s rain, wind, or last-minute changes, I’ve learned to roll with whatever the day brings. I’ll come prepared with backup plans, creative solutions, and a calm mindset to keep things running smooth. Some of the most beautiful, emotional photos I’ve ever taken have come from imperfect weather—it’s all part of your story.
Think about your wedding day from start to finish—what moments do you want captured? Getting ready? First look? Dancing under the stars? I’ll help you figure out the right fit based on your timeline, location, and priorities. Most couples book 8 hours for full-day coverage, but I’ll guide you through the options so you get the amount of time that feels right.
Absolutely not. Adventure is a mindset, not a mileage requirement, and I often refer to myself as "adventure-ish". There are stunning views everywhere in Alaska, and meaningful moments can happen anywhere.
If you want an adventurous wedding, there are plenty of ways to have that without strapping on hiking boots. There are beaches with mountain views just steps from the car. There are helicopters and float planes that can escort you to the most incredible locations.
But, if you're up for a hike or a little adrenaline, rest assured that I am too!
This is one of the best parts about eloping — you can do whatever the heck you want! You can elope close to home or across the world. Think about what feels most you: mountain peaks, ocean cliffs, forests, or something totally unexpected. Start by asking yourselves — do you have a favorite place, a spot that holds meaning, or a destination you’ve always dreamed of visiting?
From there, I’ll help you narrow it down based on accessibility, season, permits, and travel logistics to find the perfect spot that fits your vision. I specialize in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and Iceland weddings — but I’m always up for an adventure wherever your heart leads.
Absolutely! Honestly, I love this part! This isn't an official part of my planning assistance, but if I've been to the area, chances are I've explored it pretty well. I love trying new restaurants and staying at unique AirBNBs.
Fun fact: one of my dream jobs growing up was to become a travel writer.
