your images are the memory of your wedding day and I want to show you how it felt to be there.
CALLING ALL WEIRDOS, ALTERNATIVE LOVERS, AND EMOTIONAL HUMANS
Empowering couples to have a day that feels
Authentic.
I don’t strive for perfect. I want you to feel comfortable, not posed or like you’re performing.
Those giggles, little touches, and booty grabs are what your relationship is and I believe your photographer should make you feel supported enough that you can share them.
I’m Destiny,
YOUR OREGON ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER
I dig deep, find magic in everything, and adore showing humans how amazing they really are.
You’ll mainly find me photographing in the Oregon and Washington areas but I’m always on the move helping couples plan their wedding adventures everywhere.

“Destiny was absolutely incredible to work with”
My husband and I wanted a day just to dress up and celebrate the two of us out in nature, and she helped look at areas around our Airbnb and made suggestions during the planning process that we wouldn’t have found or done by ourselves. Both of us are introverts and were worried about feeling awkward in front of the camera, but she told us what to do while letting us be ourselves. The pictures turned out so beautifully. With six hours of coverage we were able to get the tail end of our getting-ready process, walk around the nearby river, eat, perform the ceremony, and relax with drinks and dessert. If you want a serious hike or to go anywhere further than a 10 minute walk from your venue I’d suggest a longer time frame. The day flew by in the best way.

“We truly couldn’t have done our elopement without Destiny”
Not only is she an incredible photographer that is a quiet and comforting presence on your day, but she offers all the tools and gentle guidance to CREATE your day from start to finish. She thinks of everything and made it the least stressful process it could possibly be. Also – did I mention she’s an incredible photographer? We received our sneak peek within a few days of our ceremony and I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the rest! She is truly the best and captured our day just as we hoped (knew) she would.

WHY ELOPE IN OREGON?
The Pacific Northwest is chocked full of amazing places to elope whether you want to have an adventure wedding or enjoy a more intimate experience among the redwoods.
I fell madly in love with Oregon through social media a few years ago. The green ferns, amazing fog, and unique personality of Portland pulled me here and my husband and I are thrilled to know what it’s like to actually love where we live. Oregon is sometimes called the Iceland of America, PDX’s slogan is “Keep Portland Weird”, and you can see Mt. Hood from almost anywhere in the city as a great reminder of how great the nature in the part of the country is. Becoming an Oregon Elopement Photographer felt like the most natural place to be. I adore showing other people the nature and helping them have their best day ever.
