Hey friend!! I'm Bridgette and I've been shooting love stories since 2017 (almost a decade)!! I believe eloping is the best way to get married, surrounded by nature & your absolute favorite people (or just you two!). Your wedding should be full of everything you want, and nothing you don't.
Hey, I'm Bridgette!
- A Lake Tahoe elopement package which includes...Planning your day from beginning to end. Including timelines, vendors, permits and activities.
- Scout out locations in advance & create backup plans
- Give you a gallery of images you'll be obsessed with for years to come.
- Hands on posing & guidance to ensure you never feel uncomfortable. You'll never ask "where do I put my hands?"
- A stress-free elopement experience
- Bring essential equipment to your elopement for the elements... including water, hand-warmers, snow-shoes, extra layers, granola bars, head-lamps, and so much more
- The list goes on...
What I can do for you...
An UNFORGETTABLE elopement with YOU TWO as the FOCUS
You come alive outside — a little dirt on your boots, wind in your hair, and laughter echoing through the trees. You find joy in the simple, quiet moments — the smell of rain after a night under the stars, or the way the sunset paints the mountains pink.
When you imagine your perfect wedding day, you see yourselves surrounded by peaks & pine trees, saying your vows surrounded by nature, canoeing across a glassy alpine lake, watching the sunset together, and enjoying a cozy evening in an Airbnb.
Epic views, candid moments, & photos you're obsessed with is what I specialize in
"Bridgette is more than just your photographer, she is a best friend/planner extraordinaire"
"The most important part of my wedding was the photographer since my husband & I eloped we wanted someone who could capture our most special day. She was recommended by another photographer I had reached out to & the rest was history!! She even responded back the same day about booking our date. From the zoom calls, text messages & even care package Bridgette made sure we were taken care of & helped every step of the way!! We had never been in snow before & would text her random questions about clothes & driving, etc. She would always happily answer even though she really didn’t have to. She also did TONS of research on potential locations & even set up timelines for the day. Day of the wedding she fit right in & we were all talking like we had known each other for years!! She went on a grueling hike with us to get some gorgeous shots & at the top of the hike gave me her sweater so I could take my dress off. Bridgette is more than just your photographer, she is a best friend/planner extraordinaire!!"

What it's like to work with me:
I'm here to document your elopement how it unfolds, and retell your story through all the big, small, and in-between moments. When I'm editing your photos, my goal is for you to feel the moments like they were just yesterday (yes even 20+ years later!!). I edit all my photos with true-to-color editing, so of course that stunning, aqua blue Tahoe water will be shimmering just how you saw it in real life.
Documentary, true-to-color, timeless photos & editing
My ultimate goal is to help you create a wedding day that is truly everything you want, and nothing you don't. Your elopement is NOT a long photoshoot, but an adventure that you never want to end. I'm here to help you bring that dream to life, and capture it with love & care so you remember it, forever.
I'm here to help you craft the elopement of your dreams
I was put on this earth to help people just like you create the elopement of their dreams. I get so excited to help you create a day that you're over-the-moon about in every way, and provide the best experience you've ever had!! From timeline creation, to downloading maps where there's no service, to delivering photos quickly, to making you feel comfortable in front of the camera & so much more...
I'm here to give you the most outstanding experience
You want photos that make you look great, and also show how epic Tahoe is...
When you get your gallery back, you don’t just want photos that *look* good — you want photos that feel like *you.* The kind that make you stop in your tracks and think, “Wow, that’s us,” every single time you see them.
With my hands-on direction and gentle posing guidance, I’ll make sure you never feel awkward or ask "what do I do with my hands?" You’ll get the perfect mix of guidance and freedom so you can actually live in the moment (because your wedding day should *never* feel like one long photoshoot).
My goal is to capture you both in the most natural, genuine way — your connection, your laughter, your quiet moments, and the stunning location you choose for your elopement. From candid in-betweens to those breathtaking portraits, every image will be crafted to tell your story and make you feel like a million bucks (like you already are).
So get ready to be blown away by the epic views for a second time as you relive your Tahoe elopement through your images
You get to have BOTH.

"We would recommend her 10000%. She is well worth the investment!!!"
"Bridgette was nothing short than amazing on our wedding day! We are so grateful to her for helping organize our small wedding from the beginning to then initiating the smoothest day possible! We had a small wedding at an Airbnb in Truckee with the ceremony overlooking Donner Lake. We collectively as a group LOVED her so much! She was not only an amazing photographer, she truly is set apart because it immediately felt like she was apart of the family! Extremely professional and made the whole day so fun. We all still talk about how awesome she was! We cannot thank her enough for capturing the greatest wedding day photos, memories we will cherish forever! We would recommend her 10000% and we will be coming straight back to her for all of life's milestones! She is well worth the investment!!! :) Thank you Bridgette!!!"
