Epic Adventures
Intentional Moments
Stunning, Private Locations
A wedding that's fully YOU
If you’re dreaming of a slow, intentional wedding day surrounded by the people you love most (or just you two!) — in a place that feels adventurous and peaceful all at once — you’re in the right place.
I photograph small weddings and elopements in Lake Tahoe that skip the chaos and focus on connection. Imagine a quiet first look under the pine trees, a lakeside ceremony with your closest people, adventure to an epic lookout as newlyweds, and dance barefoot under string lights at your Airbnb — and I’ll be there to capture every second of the best day of your lives.
- outdoors, somewhere that takes your breath away
- truly stress-free, adventurous, and relaxing all at the same time
- surrounded by your closest people (or even just you two & no one else!)
- a total representation of you two, your story, and what you love doing together
If a big wedding isn't for you, you're not alone! So many couples choose to elope and have a wedding day that's totally them & I encourage you to do the same!!
Big weddings can be stressful, expensive, and just not the type of wedding you're wanting, and that's totally okay! If you'd rather choose to say your vows under the pine trees, run around on the beach at sunset, or get married on a cliff-side overlooking the lake versus in a ballroom, you 1000% can!
ditch the big wedding, and elope instead!
if a small wedding or elopement is your vibe, you're in the right place

"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!!"
