An adventure — loving, story-driven photographer and ordained officiant who specializes in capturing elopements that feel real in the world's most breathtaking places. From Utah's red rock deserts to Alaska's glaciers and New York's hidden waterfalls, I help couples like you celebrate love in ways that are meaningful, intentional, and uniquely yours. I'm laid-back but dedicated, honest but silly, and I'll guide you through every step of your day while giving you the freedom to be yourselves. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me exploring new landscapes, chasing sunsets, spending time with my husband and kids, reading, fixing things, or snowmobiling.

Hi, I'm Tabatha

About

– Tabatha

"I’m here to capture the wild, honest, and unforgettable moments that make life worth living — because I believe everyone deserves the freedom to create a life and love story that feels completely their own."

I believe life is meant to be experienced, not just endured.

For years, I have dreamed of creating a life built around freedom, adventure, and meaningful connections — a life where I can spend more time with my family, explore new places, chase unforgettable experiences, and have the energy to enjoy the moments that matter most.

Photography became more than just capturing beautiful images. It became a way to preserve the feelings, stories, and adventures that people never want to forget.

I created Hollenbeck’s Photography because I believe love stories deserve to be celebrated in a way that feels authentic, intentional, and true to who each couple is. Your wedding day should not feel like a performance or a checklist — it should feel like an adventure you will remember for the rest of your lives.

My mission is to create a safe, honest, and unforgettable experience where couples can embrace the wild in love, explore the world together, and be fully present in their story.

Through dedication, professionalism, and genuine connection, I strive to give every couple the freedom to celebrate their love their way — while creating a life that allows me to do the same.

Because at the heart of it all, I’m not just building a photography business.

I’m building a life filled with adventure, family, purpose, and memories that last a lifetime ans beyond.

More Than Photography- A Life Built Around Adventure
