Magnolia + Ember is more than an elopement videography and photography team. We are adventure guides at heart, moving with intention and depth through every aspect of life and work. To us, the world is a vast playground—one that invites meaningful connection, bold exploration, and stories worth remembering.
Hi! We're Julie and Colin Crawford
"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."
• NOT: The people who respond to your elopement inquiry with some robotic, AI-infused reply that every other couple receives.
• NOT: Just here to give you pretty pictures and videos of fake smiles, staged moments, and disconnected emotions.
• NOT: The people who leave you on read for days, with unanswered emails, or ghosted texts with last minute questions.
• NOT: Energy vampires…ick!
• Human-powered. We connect with authenticity. We communicate 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.
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.
"Home is not a place, it's where your heart feels its most whole"
The Crawfords
Our definition of intentionality isn’t just something we dreamed up. We experience the universe as a place that responds to every micro movement and thought. When you move, there are infinite possibilities of feedback and connection that will move behind the scenes to meet you where you step. 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.
Magnolia + Ember is deeper than a name. The truth is, we pour our hearts into showing the world just how beautiful it is. Above all, we believe there is power in how you of a story.

"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."
