...planner, hype person, and chaos coordinator (when needed). If the thought of a big, traditional wedding makes you wanna scream into the void, you’re in the right place. I specialize in helping couples ditch the expectations and get married their way—whether that’s on a mountain, in the forest, or at a courthouse with pizza after.
I know what it’s like to feel too weird, too awkward, or too much for the wedding industry. That’s why I’ve built a space where you can just exist, be in love, and have the kind of wedding that actually feels like you. I’ll guide you through the planning, make sure your day is stress-free, and capture every moment in a way that feels real, nostalgic, and true to life—no forced poses, no fake shit.
My husband, Nate, is my ride-or-die and also an officiant + Super 8 filmmaker, so we’ve got you covered from vows to vintage-style video. When I’m not documenting love stories, I’m trying to convince Nate we need more pets (2 cats and a dog are not enough), rewatching ‘90s rom-coms, and dragging Nate on road trips to the middle of nowhere. My go to editing shows are Gilmore Girls and The Simpsons (I've seen every episode more than once)
So, if you’re ready to make some magic and have the best damn wedding day your way—let’s do this thing.

Meet Your Officiant and Super 8 Videographer
Meet Nate, the versatile and dedicated partner behind Good Earth Photo. Not only is he an amazing Super 8 videographer and the best assistant you could ask for, but Nate also brings a unique touch to our services as a licensed officiant through both the Universal Life Church and the Church of the Latter-Day Dude—a nod to his fun-loving side as a Dude-ist Priest a religion inspired by the movie The Big Lebowski. By day, Nate is a human calculator and accountant, showcasing his impressive knack for numbers and detail. When he's not crunching numbers or officiating heartfelt ceremonies, you'll find him embracing his inner Trekkie, rocking out to Iron Maiden, and celebrating his neurodivergent perspective. Nate’s autism is his superpower, enabling him to create a safe, inclusive environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and represented. His multifaceted talents and deep understanding add an extra layer of charm and professionalism to every elopement and micro wedding we capture in Idaho and the PNW.

My love for quirky stops and hidden gems often inspires the unique and off-the-beaten-path locations I choose for elopements and micro weddings in Idaho and the PNW!

Tattoos and Family Bond: I have 14 tattoos and counting, with my favorite being the one I got with my big brother—Bart for me and Lisa for him. (Bonus fun fact: my brother officiated our wedding!) Each tattoo tells a story, just like the unique story of your love that I capture in every session.
