U.S Travel Bucket List
joining both of my passions
I love traveling and photography, and one day I said, why not do both simultaneously!! Since 2020, I have wanted to visit all National Parks in the U.S. I have been able to see some. Still, I have never photographed or had sessions at these locations, and I have wanted to go back and visit some for the first time!
Maybe it's time for a vacation, anniversary trip, visit your dream location, want to skip the traditional wedding and go for an adventure elopement, or just because, why not?! Suppose you are interested in the following sites. In that case, there will be a discount on my services. Also, all the photos below are stock images and not my own.
Now… Let's take a trip together to some of my bucket list locations!!!
Joshua Tree
I’ll try to not repeat how much I love each location or why they are my favorite, but; I visit Joshua Tree every year. I have gone camping, glamping, on a day trip, and off-roading, and I can’t get enough of Joshua Tree. The dessert experience and those insane rock formations make Joshua Tree one of those locations perfect for everything, elopements, maternity, family, portraits, you name it!
Yosemite
The first time I visited Yosemite, I fell in love! I knew at that moment I wanted to get married there in the future! Beyond magical and stunning, Yosemite is one of those places that take your breath away once you go through the tunnel entrance. Yosemite is the perfect location for Elopements, Adventure Sessions, Couples Sessions, Maternity Sessions, you name it! - Yosemite is a very touristic and popular place. Planning is a must due to crowds, weather, and fire seasons (yeah, sadly, we have to plan around that).
Big Sur
If you live or have visited California and have not gone through the 101 highway around the California Coast, let me tell you, it’s a MUST!!!! I had done it once and planning to do it again. However, I’ll love to explore and capture Big Sur! There are Calla Lilies fields, beaches, and mountains; I am just imagining and daydreaming about having a session or elopement there; let’s make it happen!!!!
sand dunes
Sand Dunes have been on my bucket list because it looks out of this world! There are so many Sand Dunes locations around California that are a whole dream to photograph there. Glamis Sand Dunes, Imperial Sand Dunes, Eureka Sand Dunes, Pismo Sand Dunes, and Death Valley Sand Dunes, to name a few. I mean, just think about it, you, your significant other, or your family walking on the sand and having it as background; perfection, I know!!!
San Francisco
I don't know why, but San Francisco is one of those cities that has something so special that I can't even describe. One of my dreams is to photograph a city wedding/elopement at city hall and photographed at a beach with the Golden Gate as our background! - I mean SF, it's a whole city full of beauty and the whole Bay Area, making it perfect for any session, wedding, elopement, or photograph moment!
cannon beach
I visited Cannon Beach in 2022, and I instantly fell in love with It and the whole Oregon Coast! This location has endless opportunities, making it perfect for any session or elopement!
Crater lake National Park
You will read a bit about my trip to Oregon because I decided to make a whole week of Oregon road trip in early 2022. Crater Lake was at the top of my bucket list. However, it was close due to snow (I got so sad because I just looked at that view!) - Now I know that to visit Crater Lake, we have to plan it during Summer. I can't wait to see, capture some moments with Crater Lake as our background, and go with sunrise and sunset hikes for the perfect shot!
Mt Hood National Park
I visited Mt. Hood during the winter (It was May, but it was snowing still), and It is just magical! However, I dream of having an Adventure Elopement or Session at Trillium Lake with Mt. Hood in the background! We can go Kayaking and then go to Mt. Hood for some snowy adventures; I am just planning it already!
Olympic National Park
I know a part of me wants to move to the PNW and Olympic National Park is the accurate description of why. Lakes, waterfalls, beaches, forests., snow, and so much more! That sounds like the perfect Adventure and gateway, and I am already planning a trip to the green state of Washington. I will repeat myself but admire that view and just imagine the endless possibilities of any type of photography, elopements, couples sessions, adventure sessions, anniversary photoshoots, you name it!
Mt Rainer national park
Mount Rainer!!! Every time I see destination photographers and travelers visit Mt. Rainer, my first reaction is that it looks just how I’d describe perfection! It sounds too good, to be honest, with a snowy mountain as background and flower fields, but Mt. Rainer is perfection! As I mentioned, it’s already been added as my stop for my future PNW trip! It is the perfect location for an elopement, adventure session, or couple session.
Salt Flats
To understand my love and DREAM for Utah Salt Flats, I need to share my dream location in the world, Uyuni Salt Flats, Bolivia. (Sadly, I am only doing National Traveling, but once I get available to go international, y'all already know my #1 location) - Utah Salt Flats are in the books as my dream US location because I have pictured THOUSANDS of photoshoots here; it's like a blank canvas to me, and I can't wait to paint on it; talking about photography, of course.
Arches National Park
Whenever I think about Arches National Park, I imagine a cowboy theme; I don’t know why, but I hope you see it as well! Utah rocks are some of the most stunning rock formations ever, and that particular color that only Utah (I also think Arizona) can have. Of course, this location it’s stunning for any couples, families, or elopement.
Bryce Canyon National Park
In early 2022, I visited Bryce Canyon, and WOW!! - it’s all I can say! - I had never seen something like this in my life, and it had snow, which made it my first snow hike. This location and hike are not bad; of course, with snow, you 100% need a shoe chain (I hope that’s the word to describe them) - the zic zac part it’s crazy to see in person and think it’s real. I can’t wait to go back and have another adventure at Bryce Canyon with my camera.
Antelope canyon
The picture speaks for itself. IT’S STUNNING!!!!! - I found out about this location while planning my Arizona trip. Of course, I added it to the MUST-STOP section. Can’t wait to visit on November 2022 ( if you are reading past that day, Hi to the future! - I’ll share how it was soon!! ). I, of course, would 100% say it is one of those locations we must have a photoshoot or elopement at!
