 Portland Photographer and Elopement planner

  I want to hear all your stories and not the PG-13 versions, I want to hear them from you like you're talking to your best friends. I want to be able to look at you and your partner like I know who you are and capture your true selfs. I'm pretty much an open book so If you want to hear my stories just ask (though you probably won't have to ask). I didn't go to some fancy school, I went through something even better, a hard life at an early age and one that was filled with adventures and more life lessons than I can count the world of traveling taught me more than I could've ever learned in a classroom. I took off at the age of 17 on my own to work at multiple National parks and picked up a variety of skills and worked with people from every part of the world at these parks. It changed my life and made me fall in love with nature.

   I ended up in Montana for about 5 years which is when I started my professional photography career path by mentoring under an incredible group of photographers and later continuing my online studies on business and social media marketing. Most would call me an old soul. I love curling up and watching an old movie, getting creative in the kitchen, throwing on my favorite record and enjoying a glass of wine, or two.  
 
   I'm currently based in Portland, Oregon and my second home is Lake Tahoe, California but I'm down to travel anywhere and go on a new adventure with you. I have been shooting weddings and elopements for 5 years and can't wait for all the future love stories I'll tell.

Portland Officiant & Musician

    Hey, I'm Kyle and my passion in life is music. I love writing it as much as I love playing it. It has been at the center of my life since I was about 15. Growing up in the small mountain town of South Lake Tahoe gifted me with musical opportunities that, I feel, are unique. There are so many talented people in that town, and being able to see each other at gigs, jam with each other after hours, it really helps you pull ideas and understandings from various styles and abilities. From black metal to bluegrass, there was always someone playing something new or different than me, and I feel that exposure to all types of genres and players solidified an appreciation and style within me as a player as well as a songwriter. Aside from music, I have always been an outdoor kid. I was lucky to grow up within riding distance of trailheads and beaches in Northern California. And I didn't take that for granted at all as a kid. 

   I began playing band, duo, and solo gigs so often that at one point it was my only source of income. It was during this time that I met Autumn, via Instagram and mutual friends. She liked my silly cover songs I would upload on the regular, and asked me multiple times to meet up for a drink. Eventually, I stopped being an idiot and met up with her. From our first conversation she was bright, charismatic, and unlike anyone I'd ever met. I knew that very shortly after, this was who I was going to be with for the rest of my life. 

   Within the beginning of our relationship we decided to move up to Portland, Oregon, to get a change of scene, try new things, and challenge ourselves to thrive somewhere new. It was when we got the green-light on our first joint adventure elopement that the idea of a truly unique elopement team was born. I'm excited to see what the future holds and where our next couples are going to take us. Wherever it is, I got my backpack and my guitar and I'm ready to go. 
Cheers!
