It’s all about your love and joy
Alaska Wedding Photographer
I champion destination and intimate weddings because they put you and your partner’s desires first. That’s what it’s all about. No matter what other people expect, you should plan the day that honors your love story your way. Committing to a life with your best friend surrounded by natural beauty is truly the best experience, and I promise, you won’t regret it. And even better, once you have your favorite adventure, you’ll have beautiful keepsake photos to relive it over and over again. Check out this particular elopement featured at Zion Brides!
Let’s make memories you’ll never forget

MY LIFE HAS BEEN AN ADVENTURE
And Alaska has that in spades
Alaska is one of the most incredible places on earth. From 10,000 year old ice fields to lush valleys of chubby grizzly's and soaring eagles, it is a destination for the wild at heart.
Eloping in Alaska is something special indeed. In 2022 I drove from Denver, Colorado to Prudhoe Bay at the Arctic Ocean and in between drove *almost* every road in Alaska. So whether it's high in the sky, at the base of Denali, or kicking back at a local brewhouse - Ive got you covered.
BOOK YOUR DAY
Matlai /mat-lie/
: the name of the easterly winds that come off the Indian Ocean in Kenya.
The name of my business is special to me because it’s a nod to my birthplace, Kenya. The easterly winds bring much-needed rains to the region, and I was born on such a morning in December. This name is symbolic to my life, not only as a tribute to hometown and my life of international travel, but it reflects the deep desire to observe the natural world around us, and cultivate the intention of adventure and mindfulness.
Her thoughtful planning and connections with other supporting vendors provided us with a stress-free elopement.
Rose was absolutely amazing to work with! Her thoughtful planning and connections with other supporting vendors provided us with a stress-free elopement. Planning with her helped us identify exactly what we wanted. We loved her artistic eye - we took all of her suggestions, which turned out better than we imagined. Thank you again, Rose, for everything you did to make our day so special and memorable.

I prioritize spending time getting to know all of my couples throughout the planning process leading up to their wedding. I want to build a real connection, rather than just exchange a few emails here and there. That way, on your wedding day, you’ll feel comfortable knowing that I’m here for you – not just to take pretty photos, but to give you the best experience possible.

From the minute we made contact, Rose helped us create the most perfect day!
Rose was probably one of our best decisions ever (besides eloping in Iceland, of course). From the minute we made contact she helped us create the most perfect day! Her response time is incredible, she is the sweetest person, and we really feel like we got to know her. Our social media blew up when we posted our sneak peeks and we have had so many people compliment us on the photos. They are absolutely breathtaking and we are over the moon with them!
