This is your story and it’s worthy of being told
It’s a wonderful feeling to feel fully seen and known by others. These connections become the fabric of our life stories. Stories which are worth of being creatively documented. To me, photography goes deeper than just images, as it reveals and preserves rhapsodic experiences for us in a tangible state. Not just for ourselves but for our current loved ones and future generations.
Why adventure elopements?
At the heart of everything, what’s most important is how your wedding experience feels. Not just the day itself, but the entire process leading you there as well. Your wedding deserves to fulfill its potential as an experience immersed in intimacy and should be entirely what you want. Nothing less. And here’s a hard truth. With big wedding productions comes a lot of stress. There are so many distractions, opinions, and decisions that are emotionally draining and dilute the experience. You may often find yourself asking “am I doing this for myself or for others?” Do you want to just make it through “stress free”, or do you want to enjoy every step of the process?
Elopements are an avenue to craft an experience with intention, holding the focus on what matters, and being true to yourselves rather than acquiesce to social obligations pushed upon you to satisfy others. You won’t remember every little detail of how things looked (more reason to have good photos), every moment that happened, but you will remember how you felt.
This isn’t just about images. This is preserving a feeling.
Hey, I’m Warren
I want to help you create an amazing experience. I have been a photographer for close to a decade now and that journey has led me to visit amazing places, meet incredible people, and experience life in an entirely new way. I don’t see it as my only job is to take good photos. I want to help you have the best possible experience. When I’m not photographing couples, you can often still find me outside hiking or traveling. I also feel most alive when challenging myself, mentally or physically, so I’m regularly training for some type of endurance event or inside with a good book to expand my thinking in pursuit of being a better student of life.
My why behind it all
I believe this is where it all starts and is at the heart of everything, so let me tell you. I have a soft spot for sentimentality, and I think love is awesome. I’m so grateful that I discovered photography early in life because I’ve been able to document my own journey in a creative fashion. For that reason, I have a strong passion for giving that same experience to others and take great pride in getting the responsibility of documenting their stories. Each picture has a story or feeling behind it and I love to capture that novelty. Arresting those moments in time allows us to remember and feel more intensely. I want you to be able to feel this forever through the images we create. I know how much I value that and enjoy passing that along to others through photography. I would love to be a part of telling your story.
Your day will come and go, but photographs are what lasts.
Kind words from eloping couples
“Our gratitude for Warren will never fully be able to be explained.”
If you are eloping, do not look any further. Warren spent hours upon hours planning our day from sunrise to sunset. We bounced ideas off one another, and he created the perfect day. We ended up choosing a location he was not familiar with, but by the looks of our photos and all the locations he had scouted, you would have thought he was a local.
Warren exceeded all expectations. Throughout the entire day, he made the photo process so easy. Not one time did we feel awkward or too posed. Having him shoot our elopement was the best decision we made besides saying “I do.”

“We look at our photos everyday.”
My husband and I were lucky enough to have Warren shoot our Joshua Tree Elopement in CA! I cannot recommend his services enough! Not only is he talented, but he is personable and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera.. which is huge. His editing style is beautiful and totally fit in with our personal style.
Our family and friends were blown away with our photos as well (and maybe a bit jealous) and said they could literally FEEL the love. It made our family across the country feel like they were part of our special day too. We look at our photos everyday and will continue to cherish them forever. Thanks again, Warren!

“Warren was our rock through everything.”
Warren has an incredible way of capturing moments and turning them into treasured time capsules that we will forever hold close to our hearts. We are grateful beyond measure to have found him. If there was one thing we knew we could count on through the whole thing, it was him. And then the day came, and it was freaking epic! Everything fell into place and spending that special day with Warren with us felt so easy.
Warren's execution on figuring out where we were going to get the best sun at the location we eloped was spot on. We did our first look, our vows, and our first dance in 3 different spots and he nailed it on the timing of sunlight for every spot as the sun set. When we got our photos there were many tears. I had expected to love our photos, but I hadn't expected to have been so moved by them. Thank you Warren, for all that you did for us. We are incredibly grateful!
-Susan & James
