ABOUT A.C.E. | ACE EXPEDITIONS

A.C.E. Expeditions: Adventure, Capture, Evolve

An expedition is a purposeful journey — one guided by intention, preparation, and deep presence. At A.C.E. Expeditions, we help couples turn their most meaningful day into a once-in-a-lifetime adventure they will truly live, not just photograph.

Our motto says it all: Adventure into the wild. Capture the journey. Evolve beyond your limits.

Why Couples Choose Us

With over 10 years photographing once-in-a-lifetime events (beginning with weddings and elopements in 2012) and guiding hiking & backcountry expeditions since 2016, we bring rare expertise to every journey.

Our very first planned elopement was highly awarded in Canada — winning Honorary Epic Location (A new , Photo of the Day, Photo of the Week, and Wedding Photo of the Month by ProwedAwards. A.C.E. has also personally received multiple awards and recognition for not just planning but wedding photography itself. These recognitions reflect the care, detail, and energy we pour into every experience.

What Your Elopement Feels Like

Imagine a day where nothing pulls you away from each other. No stressful timelines. No performance. Just the two of you, fully present in a breathtaking private landscape.

We handle everything — planning, guiding, logistics, and photography — so you can focus entirely on your connection. You’ll be gently led into intentional locations, supported through the terrain, and left in peaceful moments that matter most. The result? Stunning, authentic photographs that capture how it felt to live this day.

This is not just an elopement. It’s an unforgettable adventure you’ll remember forever.

Immersive Touches

Many couples add meaningful elements like primitive pottery — creating (or receiving) a handmade vessel with sand from your special location. It becomes a powerful, lasting symbol of your union: two elements made stronger together.

Select Luxury Options

For couples seeking an elevated start, we can coordinate complimentary outbound private jet travel to remove stress and help you arrive in style.

Faith & Personal Meaning

Your beliefs and faith are warmly welcomed. Whether you want prayer, scripture, or a purely personal spiritual experience, we honor and support what this day means to you.

Where we are today

​​Adventure & Expertise

I’ve spent a lot of time testing limits:

  • First Canadian woman to complete Discovery Channel’s Naked and Afraid—21 days in the Colombian jungle.

  • Voted leader on a 50-person team survival challenge for Mr. Beast.

  • Photographer for private clients, including Pierre Poilievre, Canada’s leading opposition and next prime minister, where discretion and professionalism were essential.

I blend real outdoor skills, risk management, and creative photography, so you can focus on your experience while I handle logistics, safety, and capturing every meaningful moment.

​

Medical Mastery & Guiding

When I moved to Alberta, I dove into the medical field—six years of clinical work sharpening my skills, running clinics, and teaching first-aid to groups of 20. I was on a path toward emergency medicine, wilderness rescue, and military field medic training, but life had other plans.

Then 2020 happened. Watching the mental health crisis unfold, I realized my calling wasn’t just pulling people out of danger—it was guiding them safely into nature to reset, heal, and grow. I became a certified sylvotherapist, and a Wilderness Survival Instructor molding my wilderness expertise with intentional nature therapy to help people reconnect with themselves and the outdoors all while photographing the healing and adventures unfolding.

​​​​​​​​

How ACE Evolved

Photography has been a part of my life since 2012, when I started capturing weddings and elopements. Over time, I transitioned away from traditional weddings, drawn instead to adventure photography—hiking, backpacking, camping, and local tourism—helping people explore, connect, and capture meaningful moments in nature.

A.C.E. Expeditions began as an outdoor adventure and photography business, blending exploration, guidance, and storytelling.

Now, in 2026, we’re closing the loop—returning to my original passion for weddings and elopements, but in an evolved hybrid approach. A.C.E. combines years of adventure photography, wilderness guiding, outfitting expertise, medical and first-aid experience, and sylvotherapy to create sacred, intimate, and fully supported experiences. The result is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration that feels both adventurous and deeply personal, with every moment thoughtfully captured.

​

My Philosophy

Adventure. Capture. Evolve.

  • Adventure into the wild

  • Capture the journey

  • Evolve limits

Whether you’re planning an elopement, engagement, honeymoon, or adventure vacation, my goal is simple: you arrive safely, experience fully, and have your story captured beautifully—all without stress or distractions.

​

Why Work With Me

With A.C.E. Expeditions, you don’t just get a photographer—you get a partner who:

  • Guides you through every step in the outdoors

How did you find me?

Thank You!

An expedition is an organized journey into the great outdoors, designed to explore, learn, and connect with nature. It’s more than just a trip; it’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty and serenity of natural landscapes, away from the distractions of everyday life.

During an expedition focused on the benefits of being outdoors, participants can experience the profound impact of nature on their well-being. The journey often includes activities like hiking, wildlife observation, and primitive fire, all of which encourage mindfulness and a deeper appreciation for the environment. Being outdoors has been shown to reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and boost overall happiness.

These expeditions also foster a sense of adventure and curiosity. As you explore forests, mountains, and rivers, you gain a greater understanding of the ecosystems around you and how to enjoy them responsibly. Whether it’s witnessing a breathtaking sunrise over a mountain peak or listening to the calming sounds of a forest, expeditions provide a meaningful way to reconnect with nature, recharge your spirit, and develop a lifelong love for the outdoors. Returning home with all the memories captured with expert photography.

As an avid adventurer and accomplished survivalist from NAKED AND AFRAID Season 17, Episode 5, I've dedicated my life to capturing the essence of the great outdoors while equipping others with the skills needed to navigate and thrive in nature's embrace. With a lens in one hand and survival tools in the other, I lead explorers on a journey that transcends traditional boundaries. Whether it's freezing the moment as waves crash against towering cliffs or imparting essential survival techniques under the vast canopy of the wilderness, my goal is to inspire, educate, and ignite a passion for both the art of life and the confidence of survival. Join me on an adventure that goes beyond the ordinary, where every image tells a story and every skill learned is a step towards self-reliance in the great unknown.
