Overwhelmed by planning?
I was born and raised in Oregon, and I grew up on salty air, pine trees, and coffee. Obsessed with all things nature, my rescue dog and I packed up and moved out to the Rocky Mountains to experience the land of craft beer, endless sunshine, and vivid landscapes. I've always been someone to chase the things I love - to me that's vast open skies of Moab, the smell of campfires at Cannon Beach, and the silence and beauty when sitting on a mountain top in Breckenridge.
I'm based out of Colorado and call the mountains my home!

"Sydney was everything we could've asked for from an elopement photographer... She knew all of the hidden gems in the state, and we had a day that was intimate, without crowds, and had stunning views! She was so responsive, organized, and had our best interests at heart throughout the entire planning process! She's a photographer that REALLY LISTENS! To her, it was about us and our day, and she made that clear as we narrowed down locations, and activities! We had no idea how to plan an elopement, and she took all of the stress off of doing it ourselves. She has such a great understanding of what eloping couples need, and how to create a day that fits perfectly with our personalities. She truly took the time to get to know us, and by the time our day rolled around it felt like we were just hanging out with an old friend! I seriously cannot recommend Sydney enough as a Colorado elopement photogtapher- her photography and editing was flawless, but even more than that she crafted a day that was uniquely and perfectly us, I was blown away!
Sydney was the dream photographer, I can't imagine a better day and experience. Seriously, book her!!!

"I CRIED looking through my elopement photos, I loved them THAT much! Sydney was fast to respond, a great communicator, and began discussing locations before we even signed the contract! She knows Colorado so well, and understood that our day was about more than just photos. If you want emotional, adventurous, and thoughtful photos, Sydney is the way to go! Sydney took the time to get to know us beforehand. She met up with us when we visited from out of state, and the day of we were confident that she really understood our story. This came out in all the details of her photographs. From the story of my ring, to the kind of treats my dog responded best to, and she paired us perfectly with locations that fit our personalities and abilities. Sydney was INCREDIBLE with our pup! She knew the best poses and prompts, how to keep his attention, and understood his body language and when to give breaks. She also carried an invisible ink paw print pad so our pup could sign our marriage license!"

This is what I want to bring to you on your wedding day.
Each week was jammed full of more beauty than I could ever comprehend. From bright blue alpine lakes to steep florescent green mountains, I had an experience of a lifetime. I want to give you that - the feeling of breathlessness as you reach a mountain top and experience the most stunning place you've ever seen. Walking through the dense pines with the rugged Oregon coast emerging at sunset. Chasing waterfalls and driving down the windy back roads of Iceland. To have all this, and more - with the person who means the most to you.
Seeking adventure, I made the bold decision to travel through Switzerland for a year and it changed everything for me.
How It All Began...
