Weddings are not one size fits all! I’m an advocate for authentic love. You should give you vows in a place that makes you excited, and give you vows in a way that feels right.

your love, your vows... your way

your love, your vows... your way

Elopement and intimate wedding photographer based in California and Tennessee

Hey! I’m Sydney, and I can’t wait to capture your love.

Are you ready to have authentic, lovestruck photos? Me too, so something tells me you’re in the right place:) I’m a California Intimate wedding and elopement photographer, currently based in Knoxville Tennessee. I began my photography in California where I lived my whole life up until 2022. I have been using my cameras to document beauty for over 10 years, and have been photographing couples, elopements, and weddings since 2020. I’m obsessed with documenting love stories and life’s most unforgettable moments. I’m so grateful people you like you allow me to tag along on your intimate day to photograph something so beautiful as your wedding, elopement, and love.

I’m excited to get you and your amazing fiancé feeling Comfortable and Confident in front of the camera, and most of all, give you back memories that TRULY capture Your Love.

Elopements are traditionally thought of as last minute, run away in secret kind of weddings. TIMES HAVE CHANGED! Eloping combines the raw beauty of nature with untamed love and adventure. No sloppy Vegas ceremonies here!

So, wanna ditch the 15k wedding venue and explore a national park instead? Want to intentionally spend your WHOLE day with the LOVE OF YOUR LIFE? How about giving your vows intimately with windswept hair? Then let’s get planning!
