Because adventures are the equivalent of human wings...
BECAUSE ADVENTURES ARE THE EQUIVALENT OF HUMAN WINGS. ASK ME TO GO ON ANYWHERE. WE'LL STOP EVERY PART OF THE TRAIL, LEARN ALL ABOUT THE PLACE, ITS STORIES, AND HISTORY, FEEL THE hiking trail, AND CAPTURE ITS SPIRIT. THEN WE'LL TURN IT INTO OUR OWN STORY, YOUR UNIQUE, LIFETIME EXPERIENCE, YOUR LOVE STORY THAT WILL LIVE INSIDE YOU FOR A LIFETIME. I breathe mountain crisp air of the Colorado Rockies, live to feel the mist of a waterfall after an adventurous hike, and capture your details surrounded by the endless beauty. I am an adventurer, an artist, road-trip lover, and an elopement adventure photographer passionate about capturing the breathtaking world around us to tell your love story.
Authentic, raw, and soulful; that’s where it’s at for me.
pERHAPS I LOVE adventures SO MUCH BECAUSE THEY BRING BACK ALL THE WARM AND FUZZY MOMENTS AND PROVIDE ALL THE WARMTH TO MY SOUL AND HEART. THOSE MOMENTS WE DON'T EVER WANT TO END EVER. THE ENERGETIC MOOD, WARM FLAMES PERHAPS SYMBOLIZE OUR ENDLESS LOVE FOR EACH OTHER. ADVENTURES AND NEW PATH TOGETHER. THAT LIGHT SO SOFT AND CALMING.
THE MEMORIES I ALWAYS WANT TO COME BACK WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES.

HEY THERE! I AM AN ADVENTURER, A LIGHT CHASER, ROAD-TRIP LOVER, AND DESTINATION ADVENTURE ELOPEMENT + INTIMATE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER, your elopement enabler. FILM MAKER PASSIONATE ABOUT CAPTURING YOU AMONG THE BREATHTAKING WORLD AROUND US TO TELL YOUR UNIQUE LOVE STORY. AUTHENTIC, RAW, AND SOULFUL;
THAT'S WHERE IT'S AT FOR ME.
I am a wanderer. I love getting lost on purpose on alpine trails just to find my own soul.
When I was a little girl, my summers were spent hiking European trails of National Parks in Spain, Germany, Poland and Tatrzanski Park Narodowy and its unbeaten paths carved in my heart to this day memories that will be cherished for the rest of my days.
Located in the heart of polish Tatry mountains so close to my heart, we hiked to the alpine Lake Morskie Oko…if you love nature..it’s a must alpine hike..only 2-3 hours…but the alpine views are always mesmerizing.
So now when I look back at all those memories every time I spend on the top of the world at 12000 feet it feels like home. It brings me back thousands miles away and for just a split second I feel like I am back in that frozen moment, even the tundra smells the same.
Maybe there is more to those memories, just maybe.
I’ve come to a full circle now documenting the most incredible love stories of nature lovers, boho brides not afraid to get their dresses dirty. Creating soul-stirring narratives for non traditional couples, barefoot brides, who prefer hiking boots over heels adventures on their wedding day, adventurous at heart. Wherever your adventure takes you, take me along the way...

“I DON’T EVEN CRAVE EXTRAORDINARY MOMENTS ANYMORE. JUST SMALL, GENTLE HUMS OF BEAUTY STREAMING BELOW, ABOVE, AND BEYOND SIMPLY FROM PAYING ATTENTION. SOUND. LIGHT. SHADOW. ART. WARMTH. THE NIGHT. THE MORNING. DREAMS THAT ARE NOT TOO FAR AWAY BUT EXIST RIGHT HERE- ALREADY IN MY DAYS, HANDS, AND HEART.” VICTORIA ERICKSON
Cinema has been a huge inspiration for filmmaking, movement and the selective focus capturing sensual details. I might have been a hummingbird in the previous life. I am truly obsessed with these tiny creatures and their adventures.
My husband and I met on adventure on Monhegan Island, Maine in 2000, 23 years ago. Feel free to ask about it when we hike up the trail, it's quite a story! One day I will write a novel about it. It's probably the most romantic thing that we have experienced together.
I'm a light chaser. I will be the first one to convince you the best time to start your big day is at 4am at sunrise among the alpine tundra where the light dances among the alpine glow with wildflowers and the breeze. The place where I leave a piece of my soul every time I hike among those sacred trails.
Most days you can find us hosting friends for dinners ( I drink his beer, Blake makes the food) My husband, Blake (who also happens to be a very talented chef and craft brewer at Six Capital Brewing ) is my rock support, love of my life and partner in all crazy things we tackle in our daily adventures. We have been together 23 years, married for 22 of those, meaning I've spent more days of my life with him than without. Since Blake and I met in Maine, we call our son "Lobster." These two guys are my everything. They are my happy place.
And if you are ever in Colorado, go check out our brewery for yummy bites and craft beers!

Kind Words
"Very few people in this world surprise me. I can honestly say that Justyna has simply amazed me. I cannot say enough about her professionalism, creativity, and most of all - her character. Justyna photographed my engagement pictures and my wedding. Her work is outstanding and it speaks for itself. More remarkable than her work is her personality and her integrity. The product aside, I can attest that working with her was remarkable. Justyna is energetic, fun, and passionate. My wife and I felt so comfortable and our experience was delightful - and her work was exceptional. I worked with many vendors to put together my wedding, all of whom did a great job. I had very high expectations and demanded much from the vendors who participated in my wedding. However, by far, my most memorable and impressionable experience was working with Justyna. I felt that Justyna was just as passionate about my experience and my wedding as I was. Her penchant for capturing pure and organic moments is unrivaled. The memories she helped to create are incredible. I cannot say enough about her or her work. As I mentioned before, Justyna’s work is outstanding, but the person is even more amazing. Justyna is a gifted photographer with an incredible ability to connect with people."
