HIKING LOCATIONS

Whether you’re making the trek to Glacier National Park, headed off to an oceanside villa, or are booking a cozy Airbnb closer to home, it's my mission to make this day all about you, because I spent my own wedding day trying to make it about everyone else. And, trust me, weddings are a whole lot less fun when you’re stressing over whether your second-cousin-twice-removed can find something he likes at the buffet or if your great aunt thinks the Sav Blanc at the bar is delish.

I have photographed at MOST of these locations, and I will provide some photos for you to see.

As a major people pleaser (I am such an enneagram 9), I know what it feels like to try to make everyone happy. It’s wired into my brain to put others first, and I know you might be there right along with me. That’s why I’m here to make sure you put you first.

Now, that we know each other a bit better, let’s dive into the Montana elopement photography experience I offer!

Sessions that we can go 

“Elsa is a sublime photographer who has not only taken photos around the world, but she is the Queen of Glacier National Park. She is experienced, kind, creative, hilarious, detail-oriented, and above all, passionate.” 

- Jacklyn Pfister

LOCATION:
DISTANCE

…is you! My photography philosophy is about balancing the dramatic landscapes of Montana with the intimate, in-your-feelings love that can only be captured when we get a little up close and personal. My philosophy is this: while the landscape will be stunning and that alpenglow will be poppin’, nothing is more beautiful than the connection between a couple in love. I’ll be there through it all as your favorite third wheel capturing every special moment. With film-inspired edits that are a tad bit moody to top it off, your photos will be something you truly treasure for years (and generations!) to come.
