Close your eyes and remember the first time you met your partner. Can you? Can you remember the first moment your eyes aligned? A moment in time that sent rifts of energy into time and space. We find that without intention, it's easy to forget. This world feels like it spins faster by the day and our minds are in a whirlwind of constant information that competes for our attention. We find value in slowing down.
Throughout our lives we transform into many different versions of ourselves. As time passes, we find new eyes staring back at us. You are not the same person from moment to moment; you change just like the rhythms of Mother Nature. The memory of a moment hides itself deep within the core of our bones; resides in the tissues of our bodies. A feeling that comes rushing back, but only when you go inward.
We move through our personal life in the same way we move in our work. Presence and intentionality are the cornerstones of our relationship with each other, our family, friends and beyond. We see the world a little differently. The energy of the Universe is an interactive landscape; intuition, mindfulness and observance serve as a compass.
We bring all of these elements into this experience with you; prioritizing time to truly listen to your needs, desires and expectations about your day. We care about you and provide you with tools that will not only make your elopement more connected but make you feel closer as a couple after the experience.
We travel anywhere in the world to create your elopement. Kayak in the crystalline lakes of Patagonia, hike amongst the Italian Dolomites, take a road trip around the Ring Road of Iceland, or scuba dive in the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. Dance under the northern lights in Norway or immerse yourself in the South African culture. The Earth is waiting to be discovered.
Backpack the rugged Rocky Mountains of Colorado or experience the otherworldly landscapes of Glacier National Park. Hike the lush forests of the Pacific Northwest or feel moved by the wild spirits in the red rocks in Moab. Take a ride on an Alaskan helicopter tour to a secluded glacial lake or boat with whales off the California coast. We will be your guides, no matter the location; the possibilities are limitless.
Our basecamp is located in the foothills of the Smokies, so we offer these packages exclusively for our local region. The Great Smoky Mountains offer a backdrop with the colors of an Appalachian fall. Stand at the base of a cascading waterfall and feel the rush flow through your soul. Camp in the wilderness of old world forests and fall asleep under a blanket of stars. Experience the rich history of these ancient mountains.
We offer 2-3 hour sessions to those who want to capture the essence of their new engagement in an adventurous atmosphere. These packages extend to orchestrating surprise proposals, where we help you plan the experience, and ‘just because’ portraits for couples wanting a unique way to connect and capture their love.
adventure elopements
Yes. Elopement packages are priced by destination (i.e., worldwide, USA, or Smoky Mountains) and each includes our full travel fees, for any location accessible by standard commercial airlines and a 2WD car, in the cost of the package. You are responsible for any additional charges for private flights, activities, or special vehicles to navigate your experience.
Absolutely. Adventure simply translates into an epic experience. We tailor our packages to meet your needs. If you are seeking outdoor landscapes but don’t want to hike, we do research and scouting to ensure that your destinations are within a short walking distance and that any accessible needs are met. Whether you want to rent a cabin with a scenic backdrop, celebrate at a local brewery with family and friends or dance in a roadside field of wildflowers - we focus on capturing you at your best.
First of all, this is a commonality between many of our clients, so know that it is a normal feeling. We know that it feels vulnerable to have your pictures taken. We send you tools prior to your elopement with the intention to invoke emotional depth because we want you to focus on your connection coming into the experience. The day of your shoot, we will guide you and your partner through the session, easing you through with verbal cues and feedback.
You will receive a handful of sneak peeks within one week of your experience to enjoy while we work through the editing process. The full gallery will be ready six weeks after your adventure elopement. Engagement sessions have a three week turnaround time. Digital images are delivered through an online gallery, with unlimited downloads and will be open for one year. You can share this will family and friends for personal use.
We include a complimentary 10-spread album design with every package. Your personal client portal will have the digital proof of the interior design when the full gallery is delivered. This can be edited to your liking and more spreads can be added into the interior design for a small fee. Anytime during the year following your experience, we can discuss the options for ordering a custom storybook. We offer a wide variety of leathers (vegan options available), cloths, and suedes. Handcrafted album start at $1250.
We only offer 8+ hours to multi-day elopements. Our in-depth storytelling approach to photography requires more than one or two hours of coverage to really capture the essence of the epic wedding experience and your connection.
Visit the contact page and send us a message. From there, we will reach out via email and set up a time to chat on an in-depth video call. We'd love to hear about your vision and lay the groundworks for what to expect working with us. The next step is to complete your booking proposal that we will send following the call. A non-refundable retainer of $1500 ($2500 for multi-day) secures the date(s), along with a signed contract, and is applied to the full package price. The remaining balance is due 60 days prior to the elopement experience.
