Adventure Elopement Photography + Videography
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Julie and Colin. From our very first meeting to the wedding day (and even beyond), they made planning and executing our intimate day feel effortless. Their creativity, attention to detail, and genuine care showed through every step of the way. On the big day, it felt like celebrating with close friends who had been cheering us on the entire time. They’re thoughtful, organized, professional, and truly worth every penny. I usually dread decision-making, but they made the process fun, easy, and enjoyable. Our photos are just dreamy, and I usually hate taking photos as well because I feel awkward behind a camera. Somehow they made the process of capturing the day feel easy and not awkward at all, and it shows in the photos! Couldn’t recommend them more! If you’re on the fence at all about hiring someone to help plan and go on this adventure with you…REACH OUT TO THEM.

Photo + Video
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. They offered thoughtful suggestions about the area to ensure every detail we envisioned was possible. When we decided to adjust our original plans to include some family members, they were nothing but kind, flexible, and supportive. On top of all that, they are both AMAZING photographers. We were a bit nervous about posing and being in front of the camera, but they guided us with such ease that we felt totally comfortable and never awkward.

How to Elope in Great Smoky Mountain National Park
There’s a soft magic in the Great Smoky Mountains. The mist lingers like a secret whispered by the earth, and the land hums with stories older than time. Of all the national parks in the U.S., this one draws more visitors than any other, over twelve million each year. But it’s not just the views they seek. It’s something deeper, a feeling, a connection, a return to something wild.
When Things Don't Go As Planned | Stowe, Vermont
No matter how an elopement unfolds, we know that we are always given exactly what is meant for us. Rather than expectations, we chase our intentions and how we want to feel during an experience, and that is what drives the creative process of helping couples plan adventures. Our job as your photographers is not only to capture the day, but guide you into being fully present. Connection is the fundamental principle of our art.
16-mile Backpacking Elopement | Gatlinburg, Tennessee
Deagan and Alex committed themselves to a two-day backpacking elopement that would challenge their physical and mental strength on the strenuous hike to the summit of Mount LeConte. It was a representation of perseverance and reconnection to life force. An experience like this is bound to change you, but the time spent together unlocked more than we ever anticipated while planning the adventure elopement in the Smoky Mountains.
