Hey there, I'm Pablo Cruz a California native turned full time nomadic storyteller. In 2024, I hit the road in an RV with my partner, our two dogs, and our cat, chasing sunsets and serendipity across the country. What started as a cross country adventure quickly evolved into a passion driven career capturing elopements, proposals, and portraits in some of the most breathtaking places on Earth.

Before photography, I was set on a path in computer science until I picked up my first camera and everything changed. I discovered that my true calling wasn’t behind a screen, but behind a lens, preserving raw emotion and unforgettable moments.

Whether you're saying "I do" on a mountaintop or sharing quiet joy in a desert sunrise, I’m here to document your story with honesty, artistry, and heart.

GET TO KNOW ME

WE LOVE TO TRAVEL

Travel is the heartbeat of our lives. In 2024, my partner Bethany and I traded routine for the open road, setting off in our RV with our two dogs, our cat, and a dream to chase beauty wherever it lives. Since then, we’ve explored coastlines, deserts, forests, and mountaintops always with cameras in hand and hearts wide open.

Bethany is not only my partner in life but also in art. As a fellow elopement photographer, she brings her own unique vision and energy to every shoot we collaborate on. Together, we’ve had the honor of capturing love stories in some of the most awe-inspiring places on Earth. Whether we’re documenting a windswept vow exchange in the Rockies or a quiet sunrise portrait in the desert, we thrive on turning fleeting moments into timeless memories.

For us, travel isn’t just about movement it’s about meaning. It’s about connection, spontaneity, and the magic that happens when people step into the wild to celebrate their love.

MORE THAN JUST PHOTOS 

When I say I’m here for you, I mean it in every way. Beyond capturing your day, I often have the honor of officiating it too. I work closely with each couple to craft a completely unique ceremony that reflects your story, your values, and your vision. No templates, no copy paste vows, just something real, personal, and unforgettable.

Whether you're eloping on a mountaintop, planning a surprise proposal, or celebrating a milestone, I’m with you every step of the way. I’ll help you scout the perfect location, book travel, find the right Airbnb, rent a car, and even plan activities to make your experience truly one of a kind.

Think of me as your photographer, planner, guide, and biggest cheerleader all rolled into one.Because this isn’t just about photos. It’s about creating a day that feels like you and making sure every moment is as meaningful as the memories we’ll capture.
