Photography for the wildly in Love
Adventure elopements, micro-weddings & intimate celebrations, documented honestly
From the mountains of Washington to the deserts of Sedona, Arizona
“WOWZA. Bernadette has been so incredibly wonderful to work with” Amanda - Bride, Fox Hollow Farm
If loud ballrooms and packed guest lists don’t feel like you—you’re my couple
I document small, intentional weddings and elopements (100 & less), set in places that feel grounding and real—beaches, mountains, forests, wherever your story unfolds naturally.
Adventure quietly photographed
Planning a micro wedding?
Thirty people or fewer, done intentionally — that's my sweet spot. Small doesn't mean simple. It means every detail, every face, and every moment actually makes it into the photos. If you've chosen intimacy over spectacle, I'd be honored to document it honestly.
Your Wedding Photographer & Guide
Hi, I’m Bernadette—Bernie to my friends!
I’m here to help bring your vision to life, gently and intentionally. Weddings can feel overwhelming, and I show up not just as your photographer, but as a calm, steady presence you can lean on.
With 10+ years of behind the lens, I blend documentary storytelling with gentle direction, to create imagery that feels effortless, emotional and artfully composed.
Desert sunsets, mountain elopements, rain-soaked PNW forests—if it's beautiful, meaningful, and a little off the beaten path, I am absolutely your person. I document love that moves through the golden silence of the desert and the lush, wild beauty of the Pacific Northwest—raw, real, and completely your own.
From timeline planning to location guidance, I help craft your experience that feels seamless from start to finish.
For the ones who’d rather say their vows in nature

Every image we create together is rooted in:
Real laughter, tender glances, moments that actually happened
You, in a place that feels like you — not a backdrop, a destination
A story told quietly, beautifully, and without performance
“Love is patient, love is kind.”
"She is my adventure. He is my home."
Why I’d be honored to photograph your wedding or elopement
Weddings move fast — and it’s easy for the two of you to get lost in the whirlwind. That’s why I carve out quiet moments just for you, capturing the real laughter, closeness, and love that started it all.
One couple said it best:
“It felt like a peaceful getaway. We would recommend you in a heartbeat!”
Your wedding is a celebration of your love. You deserve photographs that truly feel like it.
This is the day everything you've been waiting for becomes real, are you ready?
