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.

OUR APPROACH

Unposed. Unscripted. Unrepeatable. A Light Preserves elopement is the rush, the stillness, the truth of choosing each other— everything you love about eloping, captured without intrusion, without expectation.

Outdoorsy Guidance

We weren’t always avid outdoors people, but when we discovered the peace it could provide, it became a big part of our lives and we love bringing that same joy and peace to couples who might be curious about the outdoors.

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.

Let the adventure begin!
