Editorial & Fine Art Photography

You weren’t meant for a ballroom.


You were meant for wind in your hair, dirt on your boots, and a love story that feels like freedom.


At The Goldbug Ethereal, I document elopements and weddings for couples who crave something deeper than tradition. Something intentional, emotional, and wildly beautiful. Whether you’re exchanging vows in a quiet forest, on a mountain overlook, or beneath the vast skies of a national park, your story deserves to be told like art.


The Goldbug Ethereal is a fine art wedding photographer with a focus on national park elopement experiences. created for couples who want more than traditional wedding coverage.


Based in the Midwest and traveling wherever your story takes you, Goldbug & pine serves couples across the country who are ready to do things differently.
