Pathfinder Photography is a Breckenridge, CO-based wedding photography business serving couples who believe their love story deserves to be captured with authenticity, adventure, and heart. Located in the breathtaking peaks of the Colorado Rockies, I specialize in documenting weddings and elopements surrounded by nature’s most dramatic backdrops.
My approach is equal parts candid storytelling and intentional artistry- I want your photos to feel emotional, effortless, and genuinely you. Whether you're exchanging vows on a quiet alpine overlook, celebrating with family at a rustic lodge, or hiking through wildflower meadows at sunrise, I’m there to capture every detail, big and small.
With years of experience living in the mountains, I know how to navigate changing weather, dramatic lighting, and scenic landscapes to create images that feel timeless, natural, and full of life. My priority is making you feel comfortable in front of the camera so you can be fully present in the moment.
Your wedding day deserves to be documented with care, connection, and creativity—and I’m honored to be a part of it.

Being a mountain wedding photographer, I’m a storyteller at heart. I'm dedicated to capturing the pure, unfiltered emotion of your day. My photography style is natural, candid, and documentary-driven—focused on real moments, real connection, and the genuine joy of being human. While we’ll still get a few classic portraits, I keep posed shots to a minimum so your photos feel effortless, honest, and deeply true to your story.
As your photographer, I’m much more than the person behind the camera. I’ll help you find a mountain location that speaks to your soul, guide you through planning an unforgettable experience, and support you every step of the way. From fluffing your veil to fixing a stray curl, holding your bouquet, or cheering you on during an adventurous hike to your ceremony spot—I’m your advocate, your resource, and your biggest supporter.
To be a storyteller is to create magic from the everyday, and that’s what I believe wedding photography is all about. Beautiful images matter, but the experience matters just as much. I’ll be right there beside you—capturing your love, your laughter, your quiet moments, and everything in between—so you can relive your mountain wedding or elopement for years to come.
