"They provided stunning photos/videos, a ceremony, and handled all of the logistics/paperwork to have this experience in a National Park on top of a mountain. Honestly, they made everything so easy! But most importantly, they brought deep intentionality and sacredness to our marriage.

"They were prepared for anything that came our way, sent an incredible number of details to us beforehand for how to prepare and what to bring and they were both accommodating, down to earth and like I said - they MADE the experience."

"Julie and Colin of Magnolia + Ember were absolutely incredible to work with! From the very beginning, they helped us bring our dream elopement day to life."

"Julie and Colin are amazing at their craft and such great people to work with! Every step was well thought out and planned, they made our adventure such a breeze...and definitely less stressful than I anticipated."

Due to unforeseen circumstances, our wedding plans had to completely shift 5 days before the event. Julie and Colin were there with us every step of the way. They suggested other options for us and were willing to completely switch their travel plans. To top that, they even found us our ceremony location...THE MORNING OF OUR WEDDING after more setbacks out of our control. It was perfect and we literally couldn't have done it without them. We're so happy with how our photos turned out and everyone who sees them is blown away. They are genuinely good people and made our wedding unforgettable. We can't recommend them enough.

"Julie and Colin were all we could have asked for and more!!"

• Just here to give you pretty pictures and videos of fake smiles, staged moments, and disconnected emotions.

• The people who leave you on read for days, with unanswered emails, or ghosted texts with last minute questions.

• Energy vampires…ick!

Intentionality

noun [in·ten·tion·al·i·ty]
The art of mindfully moving through time and space with a full heart; awake to the invisible thread that ties the nature of our thoughts to the conscious manifestation of our lives.

Who We Are
Who We Are Not

• Human-powered. We communicate with authenticity. We write to you with no detail going unnoticed, listening to what you say, and intuitively anticipating your needs.

• Surety that you and your partner feel joy, connection, and ineffable moments during your adventure. It's the most meaningful work we will ever do.

• We show up. We’re accessible to you at any point in the planning process. We won’t leave you waiting for emails, texts, or phone calls (unless we’re asleep... zzz).

• Intentional, grounded energy. We arrive ready to jump into the flow of your curated experience.

We are creators; you are the art that unfolds itself in the most unique, beautiful way possible. We get to witness your story and tell it back to you. Our intention begins with the recognition of gratitude for you. Our intention is to give everything we have—our gifts, our energy, our friendship, our love... to you.
