this is more than just photography
We love sunsets and starlight, roadtrips and train rides. Seeing new places is always on our itinerary. Our greatest pleasure is showing other humans places they’ve never been before so it’s a practice we use often, both in work and play.
We believe in taking your time.

VegasOUR APPROACH
Unposed. Unscripted. Unrepeatable.

everything you love about eloping,
captured without intrusion, without expectation.

A few of our
favorite moments
I have more clothes stained by the red rocks of the Vegas desert than I care to admit. But this is the place we became a family. Our love grew in this vast desert, watered by the monsoons of the Summer, nurtured by the warmth of the hot Vegas sun. We love this place so much that we make it a point to show it to every couple who will love it and treasure it just as much as we do.
Journey Over The Years
2010
The beginning of Mari’s photography journey began with the birth of her daughter.
2018
Jaded by the pomp and circumstance of big weddings Mari shifted into adventure elopements and destination weddings/elopements.
2020
Mari & Fabi were married in their very own adventure elopement on the Colorado River where 10 of their friends gathered for a lakeside bonfire and BBQ.
