  • “One of the biggest assets of having Malachi on your team is his deep & intimate knowledge of the outdoors, & specifically his expertise in finding amazing, unknown places for your ceremony & photos.”


    Malachi was absolutely incredible, so much so that it is hard to put into words. Choosing him for our adventure elopement/micro wedding was so much more than simply choosing a photographer. What first caught our eye was his photos, but it was ultimately his professionalism, personality, kindness, & overall expertise that made it clear to us that hiring him would create the wedding day of our dreams.

    His photos are unreal & spectacular, from his unique star photos to sprawling landscapes to intimate moments & simple detail shots, he is a true master of his craft & you will not find a more talented photographer anywhere. From our first zoom meeting with him to various planning meetings & emails, his communications were clear & excellent, & his website, client portal, & customized PDF guides are incredibly polished & helpful.

    One of the biggest assets of having Malachi on your team is his deep & intimate knowledge of the outdoors, & specifically his expertise in finding amazing, unknown places for your ceremony & photos. Malachi is kind, thoughtful, easygoing, & tons of fun. From the moment we first met up with him, it was like having a friend join us, not just someone we’d hired, & by the end of the wedding day, all our family members had formed a bond with him.
