Captured by Bernadette | Adventure Quietly Photographed
If you're planning an intimate wedding or elopement and the thought of a big traditional reception makes you anxious... you're my couple.
I specialize in documenting small, intentional weddings (80 & under) and elopements in natural settings - beaches, mountains, forests, wherever your hearts lead us.
My approach is simple: I capture your adventure without getting in the way of it. No stiff posing. No timeline stress. Just genuine moments in beautiful places, photographed peacefully and authentically.
What makes my photography different
Nature-focused locations - I know the best light, the hidden spots and how to make outdoor weddings look magical( even if it rains)
Intimate celebration specialist - Small weddings aren't "less than" big ones - they're MORE intentional. I know how to capture the emotion and beauty of your small ceremony just as powerful as a 150 plus event.
Calm, unobtrusive presence - You won't feel like you have a camera in your face all day. I document moments as they happen, not staged or forced.
Adventure friendly - Want to hike to your ceremony spot? Say vows at sunrise? Elope on a Tuesday? I'm there with my camera and sense of adventure.
Perfect for couples who:
Value quality time with their favorite humans over impressing 200 acquaintances
Want their wedding to feel like an experience, not a performance
Love the outdoors and want nature as part of their story
Prefer authentic moments over Pinterest-perfect poses
Are planning elopements, micro-weddings, or intimate destination celebrations
What you'll get:
Pre-wedding consultation to plan your day and scout locations
Professional, relaxed guidance on your wedding day (I'll help you with timelines, lighting, and even bustle your dress if needed)
Beautifully edited images delivered within 6-8weeks
Photos that feel like you—not a staged version of you
An online gallery that's easy to share and download

Hi, I’m Bernadette — my friends call me Bernie.
I’m an adventure-chasing, dog-loving, wedding photographer, who feels most alive in golden light, under tall trees, and anywhere wild beauty lives.
With 10 years capturting love stories and many weddings under my belt, I've learned that the best moments are the unscripted ones.
If I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me camping in the mountains, exploring a new trail, or in my garden. Nature is my happy place, and capturing love stories that thrive in wild spaces is what lights me up.
I photograph couples who love deeply, laugh loudly, and aren’t afraid to wander off the beaten path. Whether it’s a mountaintop elopement, a forest ceremony, or a cozy backyard wedding filled with meaning, I’m here to document the magic exactly as it unfolds — naturally, honestly, and with a whole lot of heart.
If you’re dreaming of an experience that feels adventurous, relaxed, and deeply you... I’d be honored to be the one who captures it.
Let's chat about your day - I'd love to hear your story and see if we are the right fit.
