Living full time in a camper van with my wife + 2 pups Currently in Richmond, VA Heading to Florida in December No matter where I'm parked, I'll travel to you Now booking 2027 + 2028 Travel included on full wedding days & adventure elopements

Your wedding is more than a timeline or a checklist. It is a day full of connection, laughter, and the people who matter most. Forget the rules and traditions that do not fit and celebrate your love in the way that feels true to you.

No matter where your story unfolds, it deserves to be captured honestly and with intention. Years from now, the memories will feel just as alive as they did on the day itself.

Wedding & Elopement Pricing

Wedding and elopement photography for couples who value real moments, wherever their day takes them.

I’m Mason, a wedding and elopement photographer based in Richmond, Virginia and traveling throughout the continental U.S. Since 2017, I’ve been trusted by more than 150 couples to capture their celebrations with a calm and easygoing approach that lets them stay present and stress-free.

My role goes beyond taking photos. From timeline support to quiet encouragement in the middle of it all, I’m there to make sure your day feels effortless and your photos reflect what matters most: the people, the emotions, and the in-between moments that only happen when no one is performing for a camera.

Capturing the moments that feel like you.

how it works

Your Wedding or Elopement Experience

For couples who want their love story told with ease, laughter, and the kind of moments you’ll want to relive for decades to come.

Long after the day is over, your photos bring it all back. Not just how it looked, but how it felt. The joy, the energy, the people you love most.

04. Relive Your Story

When the day comes, you don’t need to worry. Whether you’re exchanging vows on a mountaintop or dancing with your favorite people, I’ll capture it as it happens. No stiff posing, no production, just real moments.

03. Say "I Do"

Once you’re booked, I’ll help map out what matters. For weddings, that means keeping the timeline stress free. For elopements, it could be location ideas, permits, or travel logistics. Planning stays simple so you can focus on the fun part.

02. Plan

Reach out and share your story. We’ll hop on a quick call to talk through your vision, whether it’s a big wedding with all your favorite people or an intimate elopement in a meaningful place.

Your Story Starts Here

If you're looking for a calm, prepared, and easy-to-be-around photographer for your wedding day, you're in the right place.

Choosing your photographer is choosing who you spend your day with. I take on a limited number of weddings and elopements each year so every couple gets my full attention.

Here's how it works. Fill out the form, I'll text you within 24 hours, and we'll hop on a quick call to make sure we vibe. From there, I’ll help you think through your timeline, photography coverage, and any location or permit considerations that may apply.

Most couples don't have it all figured out when they reach out. That's normal. That's what the call is for.

Limited 2026 availability, and 2027 is now booking.

your love, my lens

Frequently Asked Questions

01How do I know if you’re the right photographer for me?

If you want someone who will help you actually enjoy your day without controlling it, we’re probably a good fit. We’ll be together for most of the day, so it matters that we vibe, and I get along with just about anyone. That said, I work best with couples who want to actually live their day, not perform it for a camera.

02What is your photography style and do you pose couples?

Documentary and candid-first. I watch, I move, I stay out of the way until something is worth capturing. A little guidance here and there during portraits, but the goal is never a directed photoshoot. It’s photos that actually look like you two on a day that actually felt like yours.

03Do you travel for destination weddings and elopements?

Yes. My wife and I live full time in a camper van, so travel is already part of how we live. Travel is included on every Full Wedding Day and Multi-Day collection anywhere in the continental U.S.

I plan my routes around the weddings and elopements I book, so if you reach out early enough, I can often work your date into wherever we already are or are headed. Destination weddings, national parks, and international locations are all on the table.

04How do you make people feel comfortable on camera?

Most couples tell me they’re awkward on camera before their day. You don’t need to be good at this. I get to know you beforehand so I’m not a stranger with a camera, and on the day I’ll give you just enough direction to get started, then let you be yourselves.

05What happens after I reach out?

I get back to you within 24 hours. From there we hop on a quick video call to get to know each other, talk through what matters most to you, and make sure we’re a good fit. I want to understand your day before anything else.

06How many weddings and elopements do you take each year?

Between 10 and 15. I keep it intentionally limited so every couple gets my full attention, before the day and on it.
