Photographs are the culmination of a spectrum of color, waves of light, and bodies in motion. Pictures capture the relationship of the eye behind the lens and the moment that sparks the intuitive voice that says, “That’s it, this is what I’m looking for.” What we see as photographers unfolds through the process of creation and reveals itself to us in a frame that emanates unspeakable beauty and often takes our breath away. Our personal journey through traveling and experience has given us proficiency working with natural light, navigating multi-dimensional landscapes, and capturing human emotion. Through weddings and elopements we are able to embrace the connections outside of ourselves and allow this vision to come to life for you. The way we see the world reveals itself in these relics of time.

empowered by Mother Nature
and human connection

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 work as a team to research and scout locations, plan timelines, and organize your adventure from beginning to end. We specialize in making your ideal landscape templates come to life. As ordained officiants, we hold space for you to shape your ceremony in a way that reflects your journey. Our passion is to create an experience that awakens your senses; where you and your partner share a moment to feel as you step into a new chapter.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 wedding 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 wedding. 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 weddings and elopements. Our in-depth storytelling approach to photography requires more than one or two hours of coverage to really capture the essence of the adventure 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 wedding experience.
