Montana based adventure elopement photographer, enthusiastic hype woman, dog lover, chronic overpacker, and firm believer that most incredible ideas begin with someone asking, “Wait, could we actually do that?!”
I’m happiest outside with the people I love, preferably somewhere with mountains, a good cup of coffee, and very little cell service.
I'm Grace
Let's get to know eachother
I believe life is meant to be fully lived, love deserves to be loudly celebrated, and the best stories usually include a little spontaneity, a lot of laughter, and at least one moment where you stop and think, “How is this my actual life?!”
That heart is behind everything I create.
When I’m not photographing love stories, you can usually find me adventuring with my partner, John, and our sweet little sidekick, Polly!
Together, we are happiest camping beneath the stars, backpacking into the mountains, kayaking somewhere beautiful, soaking in a hot spring, or chasing down a new place with coffee in hand and entirely too many snacks packed for the drive!
I grew up in Washington, but Montana has been home for the last six years. I originally came here for college and quickly fell in love with the open skies, slower pace, and the kind of wildness that makes you breathe a little deeper.
Living here changed the way I experience the world. It taught me to notice the light filtering through the trees, appreciate the quiet moments between destinations, and say yes to the adventures that make life feel bigger!
My life with John and Polly is full of laughter, dirt roads, imperfect plans, and moments I wish I could bottle up forever.
It is also a huge part of why I photograph love the way I do.
Because the moments that matter most are not always the ones you plan. They are the ones that make you look around and think, “I never want to forget what this feels like.”
Let's get personal!

Grace was such an amazing choice for our elopement photographer, and I truly can’t recommend her enough! She was so professional, communicative, and incredibly talented. We felt completely comfortable around her from the start, and she made the whole day so fun and easy. She was also so great at capturing all the little moments, and our photos turned out absolutely gorgeous. We’re beyond happy with our investment and will treasure these photos forever! If you’re looking for a wedding or elopement photographer, you really can’t go wrong with Grace!

Random facts about yours truly
I have always carried a deep desire to see as much of the world as I can and experience all the life waiting for me within it.
One of my greatest fears is reaching the end of my life and realizing there were places I never saw and adventures I kept putting off because I thought there would always be more time.
Then I met John, and I found the person I want beside me for all of it.
The long drives. The exhausting trails. The nights beneath the stars. The moments when we look at each other somewhere completely unreal and think, “How is this our life?!”
That is why adventure elopements mean so much to me.
Your wedding is the beginning of a lifetime of experiencing this world together. Why not begin with an adventure that makes you feel completely alive?
Life moves quickly.
Let’s experience as much of it as we possibly can!
