My journey toward creating Hope Springs Photography began with my own intimate elopement, held in a glacier-carved meadow surrounded by towering mountains. With just a handful of loved ones present, it was simple, elegant, and stress-free—exactly the experience I’d always hoped for. That day sparked my passion for helping couples across the globe feel that same sense of wonder, peace, and joy.
Soon after, life took an unexpected turn: my husband faced a serious medical emergency, and my father was diagnosed with stage-four cancer. In the midst of all of it my world was really rocked, so I went out to do what I knew would bring me life, take photos. Somewhere in the middle of an orchard of spring blossoms I was overwhelmed by the beauty and hope that is so much a part of nature and comes as a reminder that you need to celebrate the moments of goodness and joy in life. How precious it is to capture those moments that mean the most to us. The heart of Hope Springs is to find what brings you hope and joy and save it for you as a momento and a reminder of the beautiful things in life.

In addition to my creative drive, John brings more than 20 years of hospitality management experience from some of the world’s highest Forbes-rated hotels. Together, we fuse artistry with exceptional service—making sure every detail of your luxurious elopement flows with ease. We don’t just photograph a beautiful location; we share the story of your love so vividly that even those who can’t be there will feel every emotion.
I’ve also lived overseas at different points in my life, which deepened my passion for understanding where people come from and how their past shapes them. John and I believe in truly connecting with every couple—whether you’re from Los Angeles or Lima, Peru—to create a fresh, authentic narrative of your journey. Having traveled six continents, we’ve seen firsthand how meaningful it is to blend culture and personal history into every frame and film.
From the Italian Alps to hidden Caribbean beaches—and everywhere in between—Hope Springs Photography offers luxury elopement photography and videography designed to free you from wedding-day stress. Every shot is crafted so you can immerse yourself fully in the moment, knowing your memories will be preserved for a lifetime.
