High adventure elopement and wedding photography based in Oregon, USA
When your vision is as wild as your love, and has you two skiing off the summit of Mt. Rainier, paragliding in Pakistan, overlanding deep in Baja, canyoneering through Ecuador, or surfing big breaks in Australia, you need to find a unicorn.
Who you’re looking for isn’t a traditional adventure wedding photographer.
What you require is a team to collaborate with that combines fine-art and landscape photography with expertise in expedition logistics, backcountry medicine, and orchestrating bespoke backcountry experiences.
Our unique niche sits at the crossroads of high octane adventure and creating moments and memories of immersive connection and beauty.
What if your wedding and honeymoon were defined by high adventure?
A truly epic experience that launches you two on your biggest adventure yet.
Where exhilarating movement and deep rest are intertwined.
When a sublime sunrise and sunset are bookends to a thrilling day of connection, reminding you both that:
“Our love is both adventurous and serene.”
Jump off the big wedding bandwagon, and away from cookie-cutter elopements, and towards something as truly unique as you are.
A Joyage.
A once-in-lifetime adventure from the top of your bucket-list. One that weaves multiple modalities of movement with bespoke beauty. I’m here to manifest your vision—the one that fills you with light forever.
Greetings, I’m David, and I’m beyond excited to craft your Joyage.
I’m more than your elopement and wedding photographer.
I design curated adventures that center you both in a landscape of your dreams.
I’m based in Oregon, USA and have planned Joyages throughout the Pacific Northwest, Southwest, Rockies, Baja Mexico, South and Central America, South Asia and Europe.
I’m stoked to get to know what makes you two feel alive and create an epic adventure as illuminated as the incredible love you have together.

Guiding Principles
-
Adventure can be equally found in committing to a steep descent, a long crossing, or choosing to explore a place of wonder.
-
Experiences are shaped to honor a wide range of identities, abilities, and access needs.
-
Weather, light, terrain, and season shape how and where the day unfolds.
-
Moments of restoration are intentionally woven into every experience, creating space to reflect, reconnect, and recover.
-
The ceremony is one meaningful moment within a longer arc of movement, rest, and shared discovery.
-
Risk is acknowledged, prepared for, and held responsibly, allowing you both to be fully present in the experience.
These principles shape how Joyages are designed, experienced, and shared, and reflect my belief that meaningful weddings grow out of epic adventures, thoughtful care, and deep respect for people and place.
Let’s do this!
Here’s how:
-
We’ll chat about you, what adventures you’re imagining, what kinds of equipment and/or guiding might be helpful, and what types of food, drink, and creature comforts feel like deep care so I can design a personalized Joyage in an incredible landscape that feels at once deeply grounding and exhilarating.
-
I’ll research permits, guides, equipment, and camper van/jeep possibilities, putting together a multi-modal adventure itinerary complete with meal plan, floral possibilities and other services as needed. We’ll meet again to fine tune details, and then once we’re on the same page and have a deposit in place I’ll get everything reserved and lined up.
-
Launch into your Joyage, and as you wed into the biggest adventure of your lives together. As you move through surreal landscapes, I’ll be in the wings helping to craft and capture these memories of a lifetime.
Let’s Plan An Epic Joyage Together
Don’t worry, it’s totally fine if you have only the beginning of an idea of where you’d like to go, or what activities to combine into your adventure.
My passion and expertise is visioning the possible, and tying together possibilities.
